| It is not an essential requirement that independent research is carried out.\u003Cbr>Suggestions of sources from reading lists or from a mentor/tutor are common. | There is an expectation for students to demonstrate the skill of gathering resources that are appropriate to their project title, with a level of independence. | The level of research and the process that the student carries out will be both independent and robust. |\n| How are students typically expected to use information? | Students are required to obtain information and use this information towards their project. | There is a much higher expectation for students to demonstrate skill when they are using the information they have gathered for their project. | Research, analysis and interpretation of information from relevant & valid sources is essential.\u003Cbr>Extracting, interpreting and summarising information, showing connections between ideas, information and sources will need to be clear. |\n| What will a bibliography typically look like? | A bibliography would commonly be in a format most useful to the student, such as a table. | The collation of sources of information should be clearly identifiable in a bibliography that allows a mentor/tutor or assessor to retrieve each of them.\u003Cbr>Sources should consistently be relevant to the project’s objectives.\u003Cbr>Students should be encouraged to comment on the reliability of each of their sources. | Research findings will be presented in a coherent way, distinguishing fact, speculation and subjective opinion from one another when evaluating sources.\u003Cbr>Referencing throughout a full bibliography will be consistent, including citation. |\n\n\n| What level of understanding will students typically show? | A students’ level of understanding of the topic they are completing their assignment on may be limited to partial. | A students’ level of understanding of the topic they are completing their assignment on will range from partial to good. | A students’ level of understanding of the topic they are completing their assignment on will range from; partial to good; good to thorough; or thorough to perceptive, which will be a key\u003Cbr>differentiator of their work. |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| How far are students expected to review their project at the end?
