You may include diagrams, figures etc. without word penalty. The number of words will be + or – 10% of the total words allowed. A work declaration must be included just after the reference page of your assignment. This ensures that you prepare your work in good faith. Any form of collusion and/or academic unfair practice will be dealt with according to the pertinent rules and regulations of the partner university. Please read carefully the plagiarism guide. Assessment Details This Assignment comprises 50% of the total assessments marks. This will develop the following skills:   Analytical skills: The assignment enables the students to analyse and evaluate the benefits of the different activities done in the class. Research skills. This skill will eventually help them understand and evaluate the meaning and the basic concept of linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic equations. In addition, the Assignment will test the following learning outcomes:   Apply basic mathematical methods Demonstrate understanding of the relationship between equations and linear and nonlinear diagrams Assignment Task Using references to relevant theories, concepts and appropriately chosen examples about different types of equations, write an assignment of 3000 words for the following topic. 1. The concept and nature of simple algebraic, quadratic and exponential equations. 2. The solution to simple algebraic equation. Discuss how to apply solution in solving a simple algebraic equation. 3. The solution to quadratic equation using the three basic methods: factoring, quadratic, the quadratic formula, and completing the square. Discuss how to apply all of the methods in solving a quadratic equation. 4. The solution to exponential equation. Discuss how to apply solution in solving exponential equation. Your report should contain the following:  Introduction: Overall plan of the work with a reference to the discussion about the meaning and concept of simple algebraic, quadratic, exponential equations. (400 words equivalent)  Solution and Discussion Solution to simple algebraic equations as well as the manner how to check or verify to determine if the answer is correct. Student needs to provide two (2) examples, one with brackets and the other one without bracket and discuss the solution and the manner of checking the answers. (500 words equivalent) Solution to the three basic methods in solving quadratic equation as well as the manner how to check or verify to determine if the answer is correct . Student needs to provide one example for each with appropriate discussion of the solution and the manner of checking the answers. (1,200 words equivalent) Solution to exponential equations as well as the manner how to check or verify to determine if the answer is correct. Student needs to provide two examples: one with common base and one with different bases including appropriate discussion of the solution and the manner of checking the answers. (500 words equivalent)  Conclusion – Student needs to summarise the key points in the discussion. (400 words equivalent) ***END OF ASSIGNMENT TASK*** Guidelines to Students:  Diagrams are an effective and efficient method of conveying information. To obtain good marks it will be necessary to include diagrams where relevant to illustrate your discussion.  Make sure that you incorporate these diagrams fully into your reports. In other words make sure you refer to them in your text. Information should be drawn from respected reputable academic sources such as textbooks and academic journals, and reports from economic think tanks.

Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further examples of plagiarism are given below: Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not been clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged. Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make it look different from the original. Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list. Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies. Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet. Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department. 2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work of one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of the originator both parties can be considered to be at fault. 3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way. Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS) As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University reserves the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes no judgment as to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that have been found in other sources. The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning (i.e. as a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment. Further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism Detection Software.
