Note: The relative weightings of the items of coverage gives you guidance on their relative importance for assessment, and therefore how to focus your effort. You can use this to help plan your work by using the weightings to allocate your time and the approximate number of words to each item. Proper referencing is a Submission Requirement (see separate section for details) and therefore has no weighting in this table, but not meeting that requirement will impact your assessment.
