Past student experience tells us
Those who spend too much looking for answers
online, notes are often not able to complete the
tasks
Cheating/texting/getting others to help may help you
now but remember you are paying a lot of money
and spending time on this UNIVERSITY degree
if you prefer cheating > you are wasting your
time and learning nothing
cheaters always get taught, it is only a matter of
time
Each student will get a different set of tasks
10A note on the open book nature
