The question I am researching is "..." The aim of this project is to...

Sources of information I will use in my research include...

The report is laid out with...

The introduction is actually easier to write at or near the end of the project :smile:

Oh! well I was thinking more like comparing American/English music to Korean music and just overall discussing the successes of both. I don't really know how long I'll keep that idea because I want to do maths at uni so it doesn't really go ahhaah, what did you do yours on? :smile: :h:

Hmm, which exam board are you with? The only number we were given was that the project should be around 5000 words in total (mine was around 4300) :smile:

For my project, I researched the different theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs and came to a conclusion on which was the most likely :smile:

Just a quick question - what grade did you get doing this? It seems like laying out all of that in the introduction wouldnt get you as high of a grade, as it's not really the conventional way of doing an academic essay. Just wondering of course!

I got an A, so I guess I must've done something right! :smile:
I didn't want to do a 5000 word dissertation because I was too lazy...ended up doing a 12,500 word website instead :teehee:
Just go over the marking criteria and make a checklist
