S3 Expression of ideas.
Subheadings arent required, but may help you gather your thoughts and put
them in logical order. Work out what best suits you.
You dont have to order your work in sections (eg. E1, E2, etc), but do ensure
that you give thorough coverage to all three areas you are being assessed on.
Think about the language you use. Dont just use a single qualifier (eg. good,
good, good, not good.).
Proofread carefully.
General tips:
Before starting your Evaluation, be clear on what you will be assessed on.
Look at the performance standards (and listen, when your teacher explains
them!).
Avoid recount ( and then, and then, and then = yawn!)
Focus on depth of information (really unpack and tease out your ideas).
Explain your comments (eg. It was reliable because)
Make balanced judgements (look at positives as well as limitations). (eg.
When conducting your survey, were there limitations around reliability (such
as the possibility of bias?).
Back up your statements with evidence (because).
Planning is not considered a research process in this context (SACE Board)
Dont over-focus on a just one area (eg. evaluating decisions); remember
what you are being assessed on.
Be aware that in-text references (in brackets) and the actual Reference List
does not count for your word count.
Dont exceed the word count (If you go over the wordcount, the marker wont
get excited and give you bonus points for your efforts; rather, they will simply
not read/mark the extra bit!)
