hey guys, I am really confused on this spearman correlation thing. My rs value is 0.883 and my critical value for spearman rank at the 5% significance level is 0.700. What does this mean ?

It means your data is great! That means that there is a strong correlation and less then 5% of your results was down to chance

It means what did you measure on the fieldtrip. If you used the PDA to measure some form of data then you should describe the method of collecting the data. e.g. in my investigation I measured river velocity so I described how I did that

Hey everyone!

This is for anyone taking the exam next Tuesday to discuss revision techniques etc.

If you just took the Geog1 exam today, I hope it went well!

:smile:

How many METHODS should we learn? surely we must just learn one really well to use and evaluate etc if need be? as it normally asks for one method. or must we learn all of them?

I got a low B in January, retaking. It seems on every question I'm 'stuck in level 1', anyone know how to consistently get into level 2 to get the highest marks ?

Referring to your results, outline the main conclusions of your enquiry and suggest
further areas of research. (8marks)

Is anyone able to take this question and break it down on what it wants and how many marks would be associated with each section?

e.g. Conclusion (What happened) - 2marks etc
