Dissertation or artifact?

How many references did you use?

Did you receive feedback about what lost you 6 marks?

Any advice?

Thanks :smile:

Hello,

Dissertation.

I used 32 resources overall.

I didn't get any feedback, but I felt that I rushed my production log towards the end, so this is most likely where I lost marks.

Give yourself plenty of time!

How can I help?
How does an EPQ actually get marked? Like what do you get marks for in your dissertation? I've always been confused.
Insightful commentary.

For my exam board, AQA, you're graded on your ability (or inability) to meet the following assessment objectives:-

A01 - Manage

A02 - Use Resources

A02 - Develop and Realise

A04 - Review

Your supervisor marks your EPQ, but yours may get selected by the exam board to be moderated.
