Solution

(a) If each student may receive more than one award, then each award can be given to any of the eight students.

Step 1: For the first award, there are 8 possible students it can be given to. Step 2: For the second award, since a student can receive more than one award, there are again 8 possible students it can be given to. Step 3: For the third award, the same logic applies, so there are 8 possible students it can be given to.

Therefore, the total number of ways the three awards can be given out is 888 = 512 ways.
