Study Skills

Assessment

The Extended Project will help prepare you for degree-level studies and employment, by developing your planning, research, critical thinking, presentation and independent learning skills. It will also help you to use your initiative in solving problems and making decisions. You can choose any topic and you will be required to write a report of 5,000 words. Alternatively, you could create an artefact, and write a 1,000-word report on the artefact and its creation. The artefact could be almost anything. The final part of the assessment involves presenting your ideas to a panel of invited guests. You will be required to accompany your product (either written or artefact-based) with a production log which will detail your progression through your EPQ with any problems you might have encountered.
