query on section 1 of AOS (1 Viewer)

[namburger]

The last question of section 1 is usually a "mini-essay" worth 5-6 marks.
Can i include information answered in the previous questions into this last one?

 

[radioheaded]

No. You must include new information. Read last years markers notes; apparently a lot of people did that and got

 

[sonyaleeisapixi]

yes, but generally its more impressive to find something new.

=\ Well according to Karen Yager its fine but doesn't display the same level on interaction with the texts.

 

[henry08]

Yes

 

[radioheaded]

Karen Yager...?

Well of course you can include information you've already mentioned, technically you can include whatever you want. But I've heard from teachers, tutors, past students, markers etc that what gets you the marks is the concepts and then introducing new techs to back up your thesis.

 

[namburger]

Im getting mixed responses.

What if i mention my old stuff + new stuff lool

 

[henry08]

Of course you can use stuff you've already mention. However make sure you compare/contrast or hwatever it asks and that you add a bit more info if it is relevant ot hte question (but in that case you should have had it in previous relevant questions).

 

[radioheaded]

I've always been told you must introduce new material, but of course you can repeat yourself if it's relevant. Sorry, hope that helps

how do we study for first section???

 

[janaranaran!]

practice. read marking criteria and notes ala boardofstudies.com. hand stuff in to your teacher.

 

[henry08]

Know langauge and image techniques.

 

[seano77]

I've been told to use different techniques as the same marker makrs the whole comprehension so they will be able to tell. Maybe you could try using the more obscure techniques for the low marking questions and use the ones you feel you can get alot out of for the 5-6 marker.

That sounds like a bad idea. 1 mark is still 1 mark.
