Assessment

• In total you will be expected to spend approximately 120 guided learner hours producing your EPQ. • Between 25-30 hours will be “directed time”. This is either made up of “taught lessons” at the start of the process or in the form of 5-6 meetings with your supervisor over the course. These meetings will allow the supervisor to check your progress as well as give you advice on where to go next. • Once you have identified your topic and question, the centre-ordinator comments on your project proposal – this must be approved before you continue your research. • You must record the process in a formal project log which is submitted alongside your final essay. • At the end of the project, learners are required to give a live presentation, which must include a Q&A session. • All work is assessed by the centre but is moderated by the chosen exam board.
