Question 1 (Unit 8) - 16 marks This question (and the next) start the assessment of the modelling strand of MST210. The aim of the modelling strand is to complete the modelling activity and write a modelling report, which is submitted as TMA 07. The questions here are designed to help you to write your modelling report by examining what makes a good report. To help you in this task of critically evaluating modelling reports, you are asked to assume the role of a tutor awarding marks. Appendix 1 describes a modelling problem that is similar to the problem App - Model Prob. that you will consider for the modelling activity. Appendices 2 and 3 contain App 2+3 - Mod lops modelling reports that address this problem. Appendix 4 contains tutor notes for marking the modelling reports (this is an excerpt from the tutor notes for TMA 07). (a) Award a mark (out of 5) for the Specify the purpose section of the report in Appendix 2. Write a brief statement to justify the amount of marks you award in a style suitable for feedback to an MST210 student. (b) Award a mark (out of 30) for the Create the model section of the report in Appendix 2. Write a brief statement to justify the amount of marks you award in a style suitable for feedback to an MST210 student. (c) Award a mark (out of 10) for the Do the mathematics section of the report in Appendix 2. Write a brief statement to justify the amount of marks you award in a style suitable for feedback to an MST210 student. (d) Award a mark (out of 10) for the Interpret the results section of the report in Appendix 2. Write a brief statement to justify the amount of marks you award in a style suitable for feedback to an MST210 student.
