Anecdotally, achievement was satisfactory though more variation in the grades might better reflect the actual picture of student levels. Perhaps this could be addressed by adding more time for students to answer questions.

Some students were ok - i.e they got 60 but there were some who are very weak, had to refer them to Ben & co.

Again, students are doing well.

It is hard to elicit feedback directly, but indirectly we can see that students are following along and working well.

Finding sources was a challenge, specifically finding 5-6 sources for their research. More focus could be placed on this process.

Pegged marking worked well. It made it easier and more efficient for tutors' marking.

Clarified grading in terms of choosing a grading band for each criteria.

Tutor questions being longer helped us to identify student levels and makes the assessment more worthwhile in terms of assessing the levels and abilities of students.

More time to practise the presentation was given by the simplification of the worksheet tasks 1 and 2.

The first part of the making connections section could be clarified and better differentiated from the summary methods, perhaps to add the rationale to the making connections task.
