Study Skills

Assessment

The Extended Project Qualification consists of a project that involves around 120 learning hours, 90 of which are carried out independently by the student, and 30 hours of Taught Skills which are delivered in lessons. AQA specify that students should produce either a 5000 word written report or an artefact supplemented by a minimum 1000 written report. In addition to this, students are required to keep a record of their project’s progress by completing a ‘Production Log’, as well as delivering a final presentation of their work and findings to a nonspecialist audience. The Production Log, 5000 word report, or minimum 1000 word report and artefact, and the Presentation are marked holistically at the end of the year.
