STEP 1 Download the Assignment 1 Template and complete the
e-Cover page. You MUST use this template for your assignment. Make
sure you have used YourLastname_YourFirstname as your file naming
format. For example: If a student called Sarah Kingston was
submitting her assignment, she would name her file…
Kingston_Sarah_Assignment_1.docx
It is critical you use this naming convention.
If you do not use this format you will force me to rename the
file. This takes me a lot of extra time and puts me in a negative
frame of mind before I start marking your paper. This is not a good
idea if you want to maximise your marks!
