6/7 marker questions (1 Viewer)

[x-v1n-x]

How everyone is going to tackle those 6/7 markers. Would it be best to answer them in dotpoints/tables or in full sentences if you want to get full marks. I'm thinking about doing them in dotpoints but i kinda feel uneasy about it.
opinions?

yeh, my teachers said that dotpoints are fine. but i dont have the guts to actually do it. seems too risky

i wonder if its physically possible for us to write that much within the time frame.

dot points.

 

[adnan91]

Both + diagrams

 

[Aaron.Judd]

I write sentences.

 

[dolbinau]

Sentences. I don't know, I've never heard of using dot points before so It wouldn't feel 'right'.

Do you literally fill up every line with a dot point?

 

[Rutherfordium]

i dont see how you can get the right level of depth required for a 6/7 mark question with jsut using dot points

 

[JamesTockuss]

If it's a 6 marker, do 6 dot points. but make sure they actually contain info in each. it's easier to keep track of how many points you have raised/still need to raise

 

[jcurry]

use of diagrams and either dotpoints or sentences should be fine
its not an english test so i dont see the problem with doing dotpoints since they give the same info and take less time

The board of studies released in 2006 a number of responses showing that longer questions can be answered in tables and dot points.

Q 21.

This shows planning, rather than a number of unrelated paragraphs.

I write sentences in dot points, just make sure your dots flow. But I don't actually put the dot there unlike some ppl =P

 

[Aaron.Judd]

I write sentences and usualy write about twice as much as the space provided for the answer.

Yeah, that isn't always a good thing. At least in Biology the marking guidelines specifically criticise this (I'd imagine it would be the same for Physics). Write smaller !

You won't be marked down for this at the moment but you will be marked down if the answer is not coherent. That means if you waffle on and do not have a structure to the response you won't receive full marks. It is not unheard of people writing 5-10 pages and receiving 1 because they don't address the question. Yes the marker reads the lot.

USe pictures and tables to help answer the question.
