to the last momen, so work steadily and regularly at your subjects.

staff will mark and check any work that you produce if you wish for
this to be done.

for the accuracy of the records that are kept in your work folders is
your own.

way. This can look like a scrapbook but it cannot be entered for examination.

of Investigation
Methods
