    Ok, so I finally got my hands on a field study (which I'd love to scan in for all you fellow slackers, but cant since my scanner is broken). To my dismay, the project was 15 pages long! :eek:, so I've had to condense it, and I've got it down to four pages, thats excluding the fifth part of the question which changes every year. So is four pages enough? And what are the vital elements I need to get a good mark on teh question?

    It depends what study ya doing, Im doing a river study.

    Ya need to give your title and aims (5 preferably)

    Then preperation

    how ya measrued everything

    But make sure its all relevant and make sure its layed out right, Undlerline each new heading etc...

    oh, ya, sorry, Its a coastal study, with three aims: is material being sorted on a beach; investigate erosion on a wave cut platform and ; investigate mans interference in the coast(peir)

    will I have to explain each erosive process? Thats one thing I really hate about geography, the repetittion and stating of the obvious. I dont have room for it in four pages

    Prolly would help to briefly mention.

    BLAH BLAH hapens through chemical erosion ( breaking down of rock due to a chemical reaction taking place within them i.e limestone and rain) BLAH BLAH

    I dunno tho, I personally would do somethin like the above as its bound to help a bit and it takes up space and is relevant , but if you have something better then by all means ignore my ranting :D

    Dont you think it will be a bit suspicious when you hand up a different field study to the one everyone else in your class is doing?

    Theyll "know" your calss becasue all your exam numbers willl be relativley closs figures.

    no, we've got 3 geography classes in LC. The exam nos are assigned alphebeticly, and this project is from a person in my year, so there'll be loads doing the same one.
    Anyway, what if I was sick that day and had to go do one on my own.;)

    Not necessarily - what about people who repeat in grinds schools like Yeats, Park, etc. They're all going to have different case studies to the rest of their group. If anything, it'll just be a minor annoyance for having to actually read something new in the middle of 30 carbon copies of the same field-study.
