Re: Ultimate EPQ threadthat's so groovy, is it still on youtube?(Original post by FallenMan)
My artefact was quite simply my film which I put onto a disc and also YouTube, but to add to it I printed out a DVD cover which had images and short credits on the back etc.
I would really like to see it ^^ the only example i've seen is the recycled jewelry..... -

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadYup as I literally just completed it all but due to some rough times I had about 2 weeks to do it, so not as good as I had hoped http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgXaM...EkPD5ncu6cgfk- but I hope I will get more marks for the DVD case and such. I know someone who made a magazine and another guy that did a horrror exhibition and did a HUGE portfolio on research and such, the artifact really can be any size, it just depends how well it's done, mine seemed a lot smaller compared to his!(Original post by LittleMissNoface)

Thank you for the examples, did you enjoy it? was it more fun than stressful?
Our EPQ class have only just started research and such. So I'll have to wait a year and hope I am successful however mine may develop. -

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadYup, I wrote the poem myself-using themes influenced slightly from others, but no words taken from them. Thank you for your lovely comment(Original post by LittleMissNoface)

I really enjoyed it-the actual project making and looking at what sources I can use to help was really fun-as you pick the EPQ on something you enjoy-which I personally felt was easier to do a project rather than a written report. To really make sure you have more fun than stress is time management-don't leave it until the last minute as you're not doing it for fun-you're doing it to meet deadlines.
Good luck with your EPQ, can't wait to hear more about it as it progresses! -

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadI hope not! mines at aboutt 6500ish and thats without a conclusion or abstract D:(Original post by beckycat)
Hi everyone, I'm in the process of finishing my EPQ now and I've realised I've gone over the 5000 words by about 300 words or so. Does anyone know if I'll get penalised for this?

Yeah, the guy above me is right, it doesn't matter as long as it's not waffle. I'm doing mine on philosophical perspectives in popular culture. Just finishing my section on Lost. I planned to do aorund 800 words on each section and it's already 2384(Original post by TitchTheAntiHero)

You're really far ahead compared to the people at my school! -

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadReally? At my school everyone's pretty much finished and a lot have already done their presentations. I've got mine in a couple of weeks and starting to get pretty nervous about it(Original post by DemolitionLovers)

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadNope there's a 10% tolerance so 5500 is okay(Original post by beckycat)

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadWhat you did (Title)(Original post by Ashtiany)
Can someone PLEASE provide a good list of slides that I need to include in my presentation? I have a rough idea but I just need to know if what i'm doing is right!
Why you chose it/subjects related to
An overview of the research you did and putting concisely what you learnt-USE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE, and explain it. For example, I did film, I used the term ECU, which I then explained in its context.
A conclusion (if there is one)
What you would do differently/success? Failure? What you learnt.
Time for questions, which you should answer in depth, using knowledge learned.
If you type in EPQ presentation into google, there should be a pdf file that might be of more use than me..did mine today and did one last year -

Re: Ultimate EPQ threadOne thing I would suggest is in your presentation make a slide describing aventues of research you did NOT peruse... or areas you decided not to include in the project and why?(Original post by Ashtiany)
