Hints for Completing the Assignment
2000 words is not a lot of space to write about issues and recommendations. What you will need to do is choose the most important/critical issues involved in the case. If you have room to spare, mention the other important issues, but do no sacrifice your ability to complete the task at hand. Also, choose your words carefully. Avoid repetition unless necessary for clarity. Don’t forget that you need both short- and long-term recommendations for each issue.
