Edexcel Syllabus A Geography Coursework Guidance: Data Presentation
Assessment Criterion 3 - Data presentation (15 marks)
This section should:
a select data for presentation which is relevant to the stated aims of the study
b select a variety and range of appropriate presentation techniques for this data and for the purpose of the enquiry. (The emphasis should be on ‘appropriate’ rather than variety for the sake of it, but this criterion carries a high mark weighting and students should be encouraged to attempt techniques beyond basic graphs and tables, and consider whether techniques such as sketch-maps, density shading, annotated sketches/photographs, proportional symbols, composite and overlay diagrams, flow lines, isolines, etc would be appropriate.)
c demonstrate the skills of the candidate by using the presentational techniques chosen neatly and accurately.
|
Level One |
Uses a limited range of basic methods (eg bar charts) to present the data. At
the lower end of this mark range, some of the required information (eg, scales,
keys) may be incomplete and skills of construction/presentation weak. ICT: Within this mark range, the highest mark (5) can only be achieved by those candidates using ICT. |
1 - 5 |
|
Level Two |
Uses a variety of appropriate conventional methods to present the data. At
the upper end of this mark range, diagrams should be neat and accurate, with
titles, scales, keys etc in place. ICT: Within this mark range, the highest marks (9-10) can only be achieved by those candidates using ICT. |
6 - 10 |
|
Level Three |
Accurately uses a wide variety of appropriate methods to present the data.
The candidate may have attempted some original methods of presentation. There
may be some justification of the methods chosen. The methods chosen present the
data in a particularly clear and effective way. ICT: Within this mark range, the highest marks (13-15) can only be achieved by those candidates using ICT. |
