[DONE by JKC 7/5/03]

In addition, most of the contentious marking seemed to involve Q1 where only 1 mark is currently given for both an answer and an explanation. Suggestion is that the question be rewritten so as to encourage slightly longer answers (as given by student O.Omotoso) and that 2 marks are awarded for each part (with 2 marks for full answer, 1 mark for partial answer, and no marks for wrong answer).
[TO BE DONE]

In addition, the example of tartaric acid should be added in to the course material.
