B. Discuss, with appropriate referencing, how the design of the example (3×5=15 marks)

reduces extraneous processing
manages essential processing
fosters generative processing
C. Write a question (with the expected answer) that would assess the Relational level of the SOLO taxonomy for the example. Repeat for the Extended Abstract level. Explain how each question assesses these levels. (3×3=9 marks)

D. Applying what you have learnt so far this semester, discuss, with appropriate referencing, how you would improve the design of this example (3×3 = 9 marks)

E. Presentation. In Week 7, choose one example to present for 2-3 minutes to your tutorial group (4 marks)
