PW Question and Answer

Hi A15,

these are the questions that you asked me and I found out from Mr Tang the following answers. Pay 100% attention to the wording of the answers and don't ask me any obvious questions...

1. Does it affect the "Generation of ideas" score you get if another person in another class has the same idea (assuming that both had the same idea without talking to each other)

AND if the same marker is marking the two different classes?


No, It doesn't matter. Definitely not for Process since one teacher is ST for 1 class only. However, it may and can affect the assessors impression of 'creativity' and 'originality' if s/he reads many similar ideas.


2. Under manageability, does it mean:
--they have to finish the planning of the event OR
--they have to finish the execution of the event?


No, they do not need to execute the event, but their planning cannot be superficial. Isn't this already stated in the QP?

3. Do they have to be involved in the event for real or do they just have to propose the event?
Would it gain them more marks if they actually execute the event?


In theory not necessary, but from past PW, groups that actually execute the real event, almost always have real data and very strong substantiating and evidence to score well. But we also don't want students to spend too much time and effort when they don't really mean to, because it shows.
