This assignment is an individual assignment.
Your coursework consists of the following three tasks with tasks 1 and 2 based on the results of a survey. Some similar tasks will be performed in seminars with the tutors’ guidance. However, some parts of these tasks will require independent study.
As well as submitting the coursework as a word report for all three tasks you MUST also submit an excel spreadsheet containing the analysis which you have used in your word report.
