Not a bad mark. 

Points to note, copied from his "red pen" (it was blue)

Did you consider using examples of the two approaches from the Course materials?

No, I didn't. I didn't see any particular reason to to use those examples when life is so full of them! Apparently nor did anyone else!

Two small points here:

-        Please put the questions in bold type so that they stand out from your answers

-        Please use only the Course materials as references

OK, I can do the former easily enough (and he said in the tutorial that I don't need "Question" and "Answer" subheadings)
The latter, I went "you what?"
It seems that the reasoning is that he doesn't have time to check out a reference he isn't already familiar with.
(And to be fair, while the second one of mine was a Shakespeare quote, this first may not be regarded as easy reading.)

Divjak, D., Sun, H. and Milin, P. (2024) “Physiological responses and cognitive behaviours: Measures of heart rate variability index language knowledge,” Journal of Neurolinguistics, 69. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneuroling.2023.101177.

I must remember: the course materials are intended to be enough! I see them as a starting point to more interesting things, but the TMAs are designed to test that I've understood what I've been given, no more.
