- Firstly, please keep in mind that the assignment you received back last day is open for reworking to improve understanding and to increase that grade.
- Secondly, it was/is a very low risk assignment as it will not count for much toward term1.
- Penultimately, largely the first assignment is about us getting to know one another and how we both work.
- Finally, your self worth is not contingent upon any mark. I certainly seek to see you and your work afresh each day. I suggest you afford yourselves the same courtesy.
