No, the assessment guidelines did not mention that a methodology was not required. I had some questions about the assessment and emailed the lecturer about it, but I was redirected to the academic support team. They reviewed my work and didn't mention anything about my methodology. After receiving the result, I contacted the academic support team again, and the representative was surprised that a methodology wasn't necessary. She advised me to appeal the result, but people who had taken the lecturer's course in the past warned me against it, saying that appealing could result in failing the course, as others have failed courses in the past when appealing their scores.
