Please answer any four questions below. Each answer is worth 25% of the exam mark. Each answer
should be approximately 750 words. The best answers will combine material from readings,
lectures, and video wherever possible. Only use sources from the course material. No outside
sources are permitted. No need for citations unless you directly quote. I will not respond to emails
during the exam period about the exam questions or course content. Do not copy and paste from a
discussion paper.
NB! Your uploaded answers will be run through plagiarism software (SafeAssign). Only exams
that pass successfully through the software will be marked. (Make sure SafeAssign can accept
your file type.) Others will be investigated for plagiarism. Plagiarism also includes drawing from
other students’ papers from this term or from previous terms. SafeAssign catches that too.
NB! Do not use AI programs in any part of your answers. You must answer using your own words!
