The exam board issue students with an Assessment Objective Checklist. Here's their version. I have made a simplified version HERE.
We can use the separate elements from the assessment objective to shine a light on where you need to focus your efforts. It can also help to put your mind at rest, to show you that there is a finite amount of work.
We are going to go through your work and add colour coded post-it labels for each of the assessment objective elements.
Pink for AO1. Blue for AO2. Orange for AO3.
Make sure you write the AO and the number element on the post-it.
Please note, you could have all of these elements and still gain a low grade. Quality of work is still needed.
Deadline: Monday 29th October
