INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Assignments 1 and 2 cover units 1–4 and 5–9 respectively.
2. Each assignment carries 100 marks.

- Since the nature of assignment questions requires you to be more analytical, therefore, supplement material from the study guides with information from other suggested readings could be incorporated into it. Some of the questions require including examples from a Pakistani perspective/setting. So do not simply rehash material from the study guide verbatim but rely on synthesizing materials from different units of the study guide in your language.
Best of Luck.
