How do I get good marks?

• Find some secondary sources of your own, don't just use the ones given.
• Make sure that all the information you choose is useful for your project.
• Make good use of primary sources.
• Capture your own images or sounds.
• Test your methods of data capture.
• Make sure that the data you gather is valid (is actually worth something and is about energy conservation).
• Make a note of your information sources.
• Acknowledge copyright.
• Make use of your plan.

What will lose me marks?

• If you need help to find your information.
• If you only use the information and links provided.
• If you capture data that is not relevant.
• If you do not keep a record of all your secondary sources.
• If you don't back up your work.
• If you save your files with silly names or names with don't make them immediately recognisable. Examples of poor naming would be doc1 or mystuff or polly's work.
• If all of your secondary sources are exactly the same as someone else's.
• If all your primary research methods and results are the same as someone else's.
• If you make up your primary search results instead of going out and getting the information.
