RI final drafts

When looking over your RI final drafts, please check that your scripts have all of the following:

Title page
Page numbers (on Word, click 'Insert' tab and then you see the option for page numbers)
Abstract should contain: aim, background, hypothesis/variables, method & design, sample (who & how many), procedure, results & conclusion.
Aim/rationale: should clarify both aim and link between background research and the current study (2 marks)
Design should mention conditions of the IV (for experiments only)
Materials - all paper materials should be included in appendices
Procedure - should include ethical procedures
Results - Raw data & calculations in an appendix
Graphs and tables labelled e.g. 'Table 1' and referred to in text.
Discussion - Findings stated and explained in terms of variables studied.
Discussion - problems and solutions identified
Discussion - Future research ideas and/or real-world implications
Short conclusion section with main finding and conclusion
Refs in alphabetical order by researcher surnames
Appendices complete
Throughout, avoid use of 'I', 'We', 'Our' etc.

These apparently small things could add up to losing a quarter of the available marks! Well done on your efforts, it is well worthwhile getting these as good as possible.
