Ugh just remembered that the EPQ has nothing to do with the essay I have written and everything to do with how I went to the library to find stuff to write for said essay

I think it must be the school deadline? I don't know! I've submitted it now though. When is your EPQ in for though? My presentation is next week so you're might not have to fill in your diary for a long time yet!

Apparently the deadline for everything is the 15th of May [I'm talking EPQ, I literally know nothing about the bac thing!].

So our school wants our stuff in early next week, then final changes made for the end of the week...I've not even started the profile form thing (if you know what i mean? )

Yeah my school want all my stuff in next week too My problem is that I was actually meant to do it in October with the rest of my year but there were some family problems and I couldn't do it then so it's been extended to now but I missed a lot of the sessions? I'm seeing my teacher tomorrow to find out what I actually have to write! That project log is so annoying! I hope in uni I can just write the essay and not have to write about how I wrote the essay!

I wouldn't worry too much, you able to have a good look at someone else's?

I'm doing maths, so hopefully this'll be the last piece of extended writing I'll have to do for a long time!

For anyone who done the EPQ and gotten an A* what did u include in you project, including the researching and developing stages?
Thanks

Hi guys,

In the summer I'm going on a school trip to a small town in Tanzania for a month to help renovate some classrooms in a school, teach a few lessons and also get an insight into their way of life/culture etc.

I'm thinking I'd like to do an EPQ on something to do with Tanzanian/African economics and development.

I'm thinking perhaps a comparison between the economies, or maybe a comparison between our education systems, but to be honest would like to do something a little more outside the box.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what kind of investigation I could do?

[miisn]

so i'm currently doing the AQA EPQ and i have decided that ill be comparing medical treatments and talking treats in which i could bring in psychological explanation aswell

i am wondering if this will be a right choice for me and if yes then how can i start my research and what can i use first? i would appreciate any help or opnnions, it will be very useful

Hi, I'm considering doing Business and/or Geography at Uni, so I'm going to base my EPQ on this, I just can't think of any topic for it, any ideas? I kind of want to link the two together, but if not I'll focus on business

[.:Doctor:.]

I'm having trouble thinking of a question or title for my extended project.
I know that I want to do something unlike my AS levels. I have a particular interest in computing.
I am able to build a computer, and create a website using most most languages. Though, my skills are weak when it comes to creating programs (C++ etc), so I wouldn't be able to do anything of this sort.
Does anyone have any ideas to do with computing that I could use?
Oh and AQA give you the option of 5000 words, or 1000 words with a project. I'd much prefer to do a project though.

Thanks very much for any help!

[Helloworld_95]

Computing is something that would be inadvisable for an extended project especially if you can't program, anything to do with computing is going to require learning a skill which ordinarily would lead to its own qualification not to mention the costs if you're going to do a project.

That said I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to do something on the arduino platform or similar.

[Shhh.]

I'm just wondering what paperwork actually needs to be handed in for the deadline? Im guessing the completed project log but what else???

[Alpha5]

Guys, do you find when you are filling in the production log you tend to talk complete rubbish and often repeat yourself. I think I have masters one skill, and that's writing the same thing in 4 different ways so I fill the page up!

Yeah I did, one of my friends said I also talked to much about content than like the independent skills. But I have handed it so can't do anymore. I used this to help me give me an idea of what to write - http://store.aqa.org.uk/over/pdf/AQA...B-SAMPLE36.PDF
Since the advice from my tutor was pretty basic and not very helpful.

Hi , i was wondering is it possible to do 2 extended projects during the sixth form? And if yes will it give me any advantage ? Thanks.

Hi,

I am going to be doing my EPQ soon and I want to do Optometry at Uni, and intend to apply for it next year.

I want to do my EPQ on something related to eyes/optometry always. But I have a great interest for the Israel-Palestine conflict, has anyone got any ideas on how I can incorporate the 2 together?

Thank you, and please do reply if you have any ideas or suggestions for me.

It doesn't necessarily have to be related to Optometry, maybe the eyes, or something health-care related I guess...

Yeah I really enjoyed writing the essay as it was about the subject I am most passionate about so was like a relief from college work. I think it says he got an A.

[siobhan-x]

can we include epq meetings in our bacc diary?

[wizzingwizzer]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of doing an EPQ but I have stalled on ideas for a title.
I was thinking of doing it on airports/travel but cannot think of a direct line to go down,

Any ideas would be appreciated

[Obscenedilemma]

Just do what you're most interested, all that matters at the end of the day is the grade and you're most likely to get a good grade if you do what you're interested.

You don't need to link the two
