An overview of course assessment

3 What this presentation covers
an overview of revised course assessment for Advanced Higher Biology from session onwards information on what is changing and what is not changing detailed information on the coursework component (project)

4 Revised Advanced Higher content
The revised course content is required from session onwards.

5 Overview of course assessment
Structure of course assessment Two components: question paper project

6 Overview of course assessment —question paper

11 Assessment conditions
Processes must be put in place to monitor progress and ensure that the work is the candidate’s own. These could include: regular progress meetings spot-check interviews reviewing lab-books completing checklists

There are no changes to the following sections of the project: abstract introduction discussion presentation

13 An overview of what is changing
There are changes to what is expected in the following sections of the project: procedures results

14 Procedures

15 Results

16 General guidance Candidates must: agree the choice of topic
have different aims plan their own experimental work and collect data from this address issues relating to validity and reliability when planning and carrying out their experiments gather information to support their understanding of the underlying biology.

17 General guidance Candidates should keep a lab-book.
Their entries should be written in such a way that they will find it easy to follow and understand when they use it to produce their report.
