- Storage space/disk space/disk quota (1)
- Printer/printing (1)
- Processor time/CPU time (1)
- Memory/RAM (1)
- Internet/network access/bandwidth (1)
- Removable media/USB drives (1)
- Software/applications/programs (including the ability to install programs) (1)
Allow 'access to removable media/USB drives'.
Do not accept 'files' or 'folders' on their own.
Do not accept 'passwords' or 'usernames'.
Do not accept 'hardware' on its own.
Example answers and how they were marked
Storage space, the printer and processor time.
Why: Storage space (1), printer (1) and processor time (1) are three accepted resources.
Storage space and hardware.
Why: Storage space (1); 'hardware' is too vague to be creditworthy on its own.
Files, folders and passwords.
Why: Files and folders are not accepted on their own, and passwords are login details, not limited resources.
