Free from EPQ! Finally submitted mine. :woo:

Now just have to wait until results in March... I'll actually be really gutted if it's less than an B, since I spent so much time on it. :frown:

I'm quite stuck on the literature review; could someone tell me what are you suppose to include in it? I was told it really suppose to be a critical analysis of your sources, but can you include your points in it and can you actually review your sources in a seperate document?

I have no idea what my teacher marked it to be honest, but I think it was at least a B. Fingers crossed!

Just out of curiosity when you guys have been doing EPQs have you had small group/individual meetings with a supervisor related in some way to your topic, or have you been in proper timetabled classes of like 20-25 EPQ students with a supervisor who supervises everyone across 2 classes?

At my school there is a proper timetabled class once a week but you don't have to turn up unless you need to ask something/sort something out with the supervisor. But you can also book an appointment with him any time you like.

Got marked an A*
Got a B, few marks off an A.

Not happy but that's exam boards for you isn't it? They mark down coursework to try and avoid A* surplus.

Your EPQ got marked already?! Thats fast! I thought they kinda moderate it, but keep results incognito until summer?

Yeah. I completed mine over the summer holidays so it was done ages ago.

Not fast at all? I completed mine in October. AQA released the results as part of the Jan 2014 series today.

So, I thought I might show off a little bit of progress from my particular project. I'm building a text-based video game set in a sci-fi world. The game is called Welcome to Vendalin, and is coming on in leaps and bounds!

I'd love to hear what you make of this quick demonstration of the inventory and storage area features, in the form of a .gif image. :biggrin:

It was an economic assessment of the minimum price for alcohol which has recently been in the news, it got very dull but the examiner obviously liked it :smile:
