Study Skills

Assessment

The course is entirely coursework based (there is no exam). It is assessed using four criteria: project management (AO1), effective use and selection of resources (AO2), project development/ realisation (AO3) and conclusions and reflection (AO4). EPQ is timetabled along with other subjects and you will have three lessons per week with your supervisor. During this time, you will receive lessons on the skills needed to complete the project well, as well as one to one meetings with your supervisor in order to help you progress. Whilst part of the project process is devising your own personal deadlines, key deadlines will be set by the school in order to help you to stay on track. The completed project will be submitted in June. Your completed project will consist of your ‘Production Log’ (a detailed explanation and reflection of each stage of the project process), your final product (extended essay or artefact and accompanying report) and a presentation. Work is internally assessed and moderated by EPQ Supervisors and then externally moderated by the examination board
