Hi Mike ,
For written question can you write your answer on a point by point basis rather than a paragraph basis?
Is there any advantages or disadvantages ??
How much should we write for one mark in a written answer???
Regards
Sid

Your answer should be in proper sentences
How much to write for one mark?
Follow these instructions now!
1 – get a sheet of paper, a pen, a stopwatch / timer and a book (any book) in front of you and don’t read point number 2 until you have these four items
2 – you cheated! Now go and get the sheet of paper, the pen, the timer and a book and don’t read the next point until you have those four items
3 – open the book – anywhere.
4 – set the timer for 1 minute 18 seconds
5 – copy (copy, don’t read, just copy) from the book for 1 minute 18 seconds
6 – stop
How much should you write for one mark? That’s how much you should be writing MAXIMUM for a paragraph / for a mark
Ok?
