Extended Project or AS in Music Technology?

I'd say extended project over music technology. Not sure how they'd feel about you dropping the subject, but I guess you might not have to declare it as you swapped subjects . Do something that interests you, could be vet linked such as bovine TB, or something that is a current issue, as for me I did the different techniques used in dog training to train them, so mine was more based towards animal behaviour, whatever floats your boat .

Hmmm, I'd quite like to do something with Canine behaviour? But don't know whether that would warrant 5000 words :P I just realised that I was making a mistake taking an AS over 2 years, when I can use the time for my other subjects next year!

It literally is under a group of subjects they call "Complimentary Subjects", 2 lessons a week, so nothing big. So I don't think they'd mind Thanks for your help

Hmm, after an eventful discussion with my Dad...:P

He seems to think that it'd be of better use to spend some time thinking about the topic because I'm looking at Small Animal practice, large animal doesn't really interest me that much, so it'd be best for me to do something to do with Small Animals. What I was thinking was...

"The Development of Veterinary Diagnostics"

I could then talk about:

The very first Diagnostic Machinery (such as Ultrasound and shtuff, just found a whole book on Small Animal Ultrasound: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hpkPMWlRD14C)
The development of Diagnostic Machinery and how it has been brought over from Medicine
The collaboration of several diagnostic techniques to come to a full conclusion
Initial Examinations - how has research improved this?
The MRI in Large Animals - how the human MRI machine has been adapted

Then, in the presentation I can run the audience through a typical Case Study! Talk about diagnosis tables and stuff

What do you think? To vague?

what does school say about this? I think it's very broad. In the end you talk about LA vets when I thought you want to concentrate on SA vets only (in which case the title should be development in SA vets. They use MRIs for small animals too. Would probably be best to stick to one type ie SA/LA only and not both or else you'll have to much work. Don't make life too hard for yourself as a levels are more important at the end of the day.

Is this a topic which really motivates you? If so, I'd go for it.

Definately go for the EPQ - it's really not all that much work either! I started mine late, so did the actual project and presentation and everything within about eight weeks. That included just one hourly session in sixth form, most of which was spent dossing about

My title (we had to have a question as the title) was "How does TB in cattle affect the farming industry?" which gave me plenty to cover but wasn't so vague that I had no idea of where to start! A friend did hers on "How does captivity affect the health and behaviour of lions and tigers?" or something like that, which meant she could talk about anatomy, nutrition, behaviours and stuff. You should have enough to talk about with diagnostic imaging I'd imagine - if you're finding yourself short of words you could always add in a couple of 'case studies' to bump it up a bit

The only qualm I have with the EPQ was that everyone who I knew seemed to either get a C or a U with no marks at all (despite having completed it and it not being absolutely awful ) - not sure what happened there!
