EPQ topic

Hi,
Any sort of question format is okay, as long as it opens up a discussion/dialogue of what you've researched.
You say there's a lot of scientific research, that's good if it applies to what you'll write about. You'll need to use sites like Google Scholar and JSTOR to access published pieces of work (don't pay for access though, just write in your plan that you couldn't use a specific published piece of work because it was behind a paywall - looks like you planned it well!)
Any question such as 'Has the Western media's portrayal of women's rights in Islam been detrimental to...?' or 'To what extent does science back the teachings of the Quran/beliefs of Islam?'
I'm interested in this myself, since I hadn't heard much about science proving any religion to be in much degree truthful, so I am sure it'll make for an interesting read from the examiners!
Two quick notes from me; 1. I'd advise you do something else if you do religious studies as an A-Level or course since your project will be invalidated since you can't write about what you learn, and 2. I know this is a forum post, so you might've been hastily typing and didn't pay much attention to what you wrote, and you did clarify twice here, but in your essay I'd advise refraining from titling Islam as 'the truth' since you have to carry an unbiased perspective throughout to achieve higher scoring, rather say something like 'scientific findings convey the beliefs of Islam, providing an evidentiary basis to some aspects of the faith' (if it applies of course, if the research you cite is inconclusive, don't say there's an evidentiary basis because the researcher themself hasn't confirmed that)
Enjoy! It's quite a boring process, but it'll pay off

Hi, I've decided to change my topic to factors contributing to mental illness in India. I do psychology a level and I haven't learned anything Abt that in my course, can I still do it.?

Hi,
You'd have to be careful with what mental illnesses you're specifically referring to.
I also did A-Level psychology, and I did my EPQ on the significance of burnout on NHS staff, but I had to mould it carefully since on my specification we directly learnt about depression and conditions like schizophrenia in detail, so I couldn't refer to those in my project.
As long as you're cautious in that way then yes it should be fine

So I can't talk about the rates of depression or what DSM-5 lists depression to be etc..cuz I'll be talking Abt factors such as family dynamics, poverty etc

If you learn about depression anywhere on the specification as vague as it is avoid doing your EPQ on that, you don’t want to void months of work because of it

Damn that was the last idea I had.. do you have any other ideas on what I could do? 🥲
