Re: How much detailed an OEQ Answer should be?

During the introduction talk of the proctor last time I sat a lab he
told us that your answer to the OEQ's should be no longer than 5-6
words, answers of 3 full sentences are definitely not what they are
looking for. Keep it short, but ensure you say enough in those words!
