The implementation guidelines are guidelines to follow in regard to the characteristic. The scenarios are examples of the implementation
Guidelines: | Scenario: |
---|---|

Define the scope of data in terms of the population of data which is under concern | (1) At least 10% of the population of white blood cells in the culture should be collected as samples to calculate its growth |
Define an appropriate amount of records in terms of lower limit and upper limit for any task | (1) At least six responses should be available to evaluate a tutor's skills and competency. |
