Part I: Classifying Information Elements (10 marks)
Below is a selection of excerpts taken from several reports. Classify the appropriate sub-
section of the INTRODUCTION: Background, Objective, Scope or Organisation on the line
provided.
1. This paper starts with a case study of the design-build project
delivery system in Melaka, followed by an explanation on the
social, environmental and economic factors related to the
system. ___________________
2. The purpose of this research is to examine the characteristics
of road users in Melaka City so that recommendations can be
made on how to ease traffic congestions. ___________________
3. This study emphasizes on the views of all organizations that
use the design-build project delivery system but it does not
represent clients’ perspectives on the projects surveyed. ___________________
4. The design-build system offers the lowest cost and fastest
schedule because the design builder is most proficient at
managing the risks associated with the construction phase of ___________________
the project.
5. The aim of this project is to review the current practices in the
use of the design-build project delivery system in interior
design firms. ___________________

6. This study focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of the
EZYAXIS equipment in order to establish why there are
consumer complaints about the product. ___________________
7. The final section of the paper outlines a focused research
agenda and makes it clear that a principled programme of
research is needed to properly develop universally-designed
educational assessments for children with disabilities. ___________________
8. The use of the design-build project delivery system has
become popular in recent years and it represents an excellent
example of determining and evaluating the balances that are
required in projects to achieve the overall objectives in the
most efficient manner. ___________________
9. The target of this report is to present the development stages
of an object-oriented model for scheduling of repetitive
construction projects. ___________________
10. This chapter begins with a description of learning theories that
can support the use of computers in teaching and learning,
followed by a description of the development of computer use
in education. ___________________

SECTION B (20 MARKS)
Part I: Error Analysis (10 marks)
The following is an excerpt from an article entitled The use of questionnaires in safety
culture research – an evaluation. It contains 11 errors, which includes the example, in the
use of Tenses. Analyse the errors and correct them as shown in the example.

1 In the past years considerable effort had been put into the construction of a valid
and reliable safety climate questionnaire. In safety culture research a safety climate
questionnaire was the predominant measurement instrument. Grote and Künzler
(2000) showed quite comparable reasoning that they primarily rely on questionnaires
5 to elicit aspects of organizational culture.
Questionnaires have not been particularly successful in exposing the core of
an organizational safety culture. This was clear both from the factors found and
the relations between these and safety indicators. The factors primarily seemed to
denote an overall evaluation of management, which does not say much about
10 cultural basic assumptions. In addition, methodology required that levels of theory
and measurement are properly recognized and distinguished. In other words,
measurements made at one level cannot be employed at other levels just like that
unless certain conditions were met.
Safety management had been described through nine separate processes that
15 together encompassed the safety management system (SMS) of an organization. The
questionnaires seem to expose only those attitudes that were shared throughout the
whole of the organization. The workforce recognized the safety policies of higher
management as concern for their well-being and the overall value attached to safety.
Pictured this way, safety climate attitudes and safety culture were not separate entities
20 but rather different approaches towards the same goal of determining the importance
of safety within an organization.
