Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Can you just talk about weaknesses for 16 markers?

Let's imagine: You can only remember weaknesses for Zimbardo's prison experiment. So you only write 3 good PEEL paragraphs down for evaluation.

Do you lose marks if you haven't balanced the evaluation with strengths or vice versa for the 16 markers?

You wouldn't exactly 'lose' marks, you just wont get them. If you just do one line even you will get the mark; Zimbardo's weakness is psychological harm …. however due to this study we have now created an ethics committee for participants protection.

Even just this can bring like 2 marks or something but if you do get full marks, please tell me

So just to clarify, I will have to remember a strength - it can't be full of weaknesses for evaluation

Yes, evaluation is both strengths and weakness. ~Even one line is enough but that is bare very bare minimum

Yes you must include strengths. The entire point of an essay is to analyse both sides before coming to your conclusion so that you give a balanced views.
