    For my evaluation I just compared the results I had, said whether they agreed with what I had expected beforehand, if not why not, stuff like that

    i reckon though that it is very important to have the exact amount of words in the first 2 sections.. like the first section is just out of 50 and the next out of 100.. not very hard to count to 150..tat wouldnt take them long either
    i have it all done but am not really pleased with the first two sections or the evaluation bit in the last section but the first to sections are just 5 marks each so it ll be alright

    Results: state ur results .. in a river study u say the river xy was 10 m/s fast or something and the valley was u shaped or something
    Conclustion: what does the speed tell u? .. well not really the speed but if u have a valley u can say if it is an old valley or something ..
    evaluation: did u achieve what u stated in ur aims? so if u said u wnted to compare something and find out the differences u state that u found them and that they are as expected etc. .. this last bit is very confusing, especially if u havent done the first section well..

    hope that helped ..

    *ah ye another thing is that we got told that u will defintely lose marks if u are over the word limit
    *another thing i would like to say is that i really doubt that u would lose marks if u use bullet points. bullet points are vital for the first two sections, the first two sections are also really the only ones u can use bullet points. i used them myself now in the firsrt two

    why is this so f***ed up??

    one class are told they will definitely lose marks, another are told that they wont. how hard is it to just pick rules and stick to them? Geography is a shambles this year!

    MY Geography teacher has been telling us that all the teachers were told not to worry about the word count too much, I think mine's at 1100 or something.
