Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event, where available.

 

Suitable for: Year 12 & 13 students (and equivalent) carrying out, or planning to carry out, an EPQ.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: Reflecting on your EPQ journey so far – Please see this message from Rebecca:

I’m looking forward to working with you as you continue your EPQ journey on 28th January. In preparation for the session please spend 10 minutes (or longer if you wish to) reflecting on the progress you have made with your project so far. Some questions you may wish to guide your reflections are:

    • What stage are you working on at the moment? E.g. Planning and developing a rationale, undertaking primary and/ or secondary research, writing your research questions, analysing data, writing your findings and discussion, evaluating your project?
    • What skills have you learnt about and can demonstrate through the planning, designing and evaluation of your project? (If you’re at the beginning of your project, reviewing literature and planning your research questions, what skills do you envisage you’ll be able to demonstrate?)

Do you have any questions? If you have any questions related to the theme of the session and your project, please share them by submitting them HERE.

 

Preparation/Pre-Reading: Students may wish to consider questions they have about academic writing and, more specifically, the challenges they are facing relating to the EPQ.
