Assessment

What is common to every kind of EPQ are the four main assessed elements of the course: Planning: You must plan how they will complete their project. You will learn how to manage your time and carefully consider the specific tasks you need to complete in order to create a successful product. Research: You then explore possible topics and once decided, must engage with a wide range of sources and evaluate their significance. You must reference this research properly and ensure they accurately represent a diversity of views. Development and Realisation: You will deliver on your plan. This process will differ significantly for different types of project, but for most people will mean spending time writing and revising drafts of an essay. For others this will mean sourcing materials, completing sketches, rehearsals, and creating a final piece. Reflection and review: You end the process by reflecting on the successes and difficulties of your project. You will deliver an oral presentation to a small audience to explain your project, whether or not it went according to plan, and also the way you have managed the challenges you have encountered.
