Mod B was essentially evaluating lots of factors with one specified, so it wasn't too bad. Mod A was worse, because you had to specifically talk about one thing and one thing only, in depth. Unless, like me, you twisted the question to suit your own thesis.

Mmmm Module A, much more specific than previous years

other two modules are worded interestingly, but are still pretty generic.
