E
Exp: This is full
c
consideration of safety.

Exp: Student has

sourced this
method but it is
referenced and is
part of a wider
methodology so
that is acceptable.

Exp: Again a
sourced method
applied within the
student's own
context which is
appropriate.

Qualitative data given in

form of photographs.
Not best practice.

Ana: Plenty of
quantitative raw
data presented.

Com: This calculation

step has come from
reference 7 but this is no
clearly stated.

Ana: Full consideration

of uncertainties
throughout this section.

 Investigation 16 (annotated)

Ana: The student has

carried out appropriate
calculations and
constructed a suitable
graph so that research
question can be
answered.

Ana: More
consideration of
uncertainties

Eva: Nature of
quantified relationship
clarified here

Eva: This explanation

of the conclusion is
rather jumped in to
and not well founded.
The antioxidising
effect is based on free
radical reactions not
the weak acid
dissociation reaction
presented in Figure 2.

Eva: Discussion of
weaknesses starting
to go beyond the
procedural and
addressing deeper
methological
considerations.

Eva: Extensions and

modifications being
given.
