We get the assessment for months and months... but everyone in my class has barely started at its due in week 2 this term.
I've done my research, and I'm just starting my report (stage 4) today.

My quesiton is.. did you all make use of the amount of time we get for this assessment? Or did you get in all done under pressure near due date?

if u do it properly and go and do the research it takes a few days, but i slammed down the writing part in a day (hehe took a day off school to do it). just stick really closely to the marking guide and you cant go wrong. just write a sentence even for the one mark parts just so you have included it and then u cant go wrong!


this is probably really late... oh well

how can you mark such a huge project out of only 20? ours was out of 100...


did my last year, started as soon as we got it but had to restart it cause it wasn't working so my final SGP i did in about 2 weeks, and i got 92% all on my final essay, wasn't a whole lot of field work or anything, got second highest in my class when everyone else did it properly... they were kind of pissed. :cool:

Last year when i did mine we had from the beginning of the year giving us alittle over 6 months.

I probably used a solid 4 months or more because of all the documents i had to read through and then had to interview people about the problem.

Documenting it didnt take as long. I got full marks for everything and didnt make up a single statistic, the way it should be done...

We were given 6 months to do our SGP... Most people in our class did it in about 3 months, with a bit here and there for research

Many people did it the week/night before...

The marks varied hugely from teacher to teacher though.

People in my class got marked quite well, whereas people in others (who clearly spent much more time on it than I did or my friend did) were marked up to 25% less.

I gathered my primary information over 2 weeks (consistantly) and took one week of writing.
