[Year 12 IT Apps] Full sentences versus dot points

[Robert Hind]

I have marked IT since 2005 and also Physics in 2010.

Dot points make marking a lot easier, the marker does not have to search 
through the "waffle" to find the points required to get the marks.

Helps even more with esl students who can then make there points succinctly.
