Other Work Samples for:

Shannon has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the characteristics of Australian communities. An adequate level of competence is evident in the selection and organisation of data. Ethnic composition and age structure have been well covered but detail is lacking in some other categories. The distribution has been correctly interpreted but no information has been provided for 1901. In the written response, Shannon has referred to one major trend, the difference in life expectancy, but more detailed analysis across a wider range of areas is required. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard.
