I have seen many unnecessary, simple, careless, casual and completely avoidable mistakes in EG260 (Dynamics 1, Swansea University) continuous assessments over the past years. Here I point out five major mistakes you must avoid. Using other’s parameter values: You need to find the ROW that corresponds to your student number and use only the parameters given in that ROW.
