Hey, what would people say are the key elements to touch upon for EPQ presentation? I was thinking of including why I chose that topic, briefly touching upon research then obviously getting into the heart of it. What's the trick to doing well for AQA?

My supervisor said that I should go into why I chose sources and stuff like that, and that should take the most weighting, I don't know if that's correct or not, but I think it seemed a strange thing to say

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. The most weighting? That does surprise me slightly especially given that it's not meant to be too long and there is a decent amount already to fill

Mine is tomorrow and I was told to discuss the following;

Why I chose to do an EPQ
How I decided on my topic area and title
The research process
Define the key word in my title and any concepts that need to be explained
Discuss essay and conclusion
Evaluation; successes/what you enjoyed/what would you do differently

Mine is approximately 15 minutes with a short video :smile:

That's exactly what I meant, you need to not only cover your topic! It's simply has it covered'

From talking to people around my college, it varies from supervisor to supervisor as to what they want the presentation to include - there isn't really a set structure to the presentation that you have to stick to. Therefore, I would ask your supervisor what they would want you to include in your presentation, and maybe give you feedback after you have done a first draft of your slides or rehersal of your presentation.

However saying that, I think that most supervisors would want you to say why you have chosen the topic you have and explain your findings and conclusions.

I am doing the AQA EPQ. I have uploaded my presentation slides here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5-aUBDhWp2VQ0lfNWY5UjJOSWc/ and video of my presentation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=osFHkj7Dyi4 if they are helpful.

Good luck.

Right, so I'd just screenshot and paste my results into the dissertation, and then talk about them? Would I have to make the images "figure 1", and then say, as figure 1 shows or such?

Thanks for the help.

You need to have confidence in me. I'll try to get to about 3000 words by the end of tonight if I can. I'm sure I can ramble on about some nonsense for a while.

Ahaha, I should have started it in September, I'd probably have been finished by now. Once this is out of the way I can start my revision for all the exams...
