Other Work Samples for:

Ali has produced a report that demonstrates a basic knowledge and understanding of the elements of experimental design. A simplistic plan that attempts to test the hypothesis has been developed. The method lacks detail and does not clearly show how the investigation would produce valid or reliable results. Ali has presented the data in a table, and a basic graph has been used. The discussion summarises the results but does not identify improvements in the design of the investigation. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade D standard.
