What am I required to do in this assignment?You will present a written document of about 2000 words in which you describe your project, explaining what data you collected, howsuccessful you were in solving the given problem and reflecting on whether the approach you took was the best possible. The work ofcollating the information you have gathered, preparing it and typing it up into an electronic document ready to submit by the specifieddeadline, will be completed mostly outside of class time, though you can expect to receive a session of practical guidance in class while youwork on the document.What do I need to do to pass?
