Examiner Report for 2011 Paper 3 question 4 Extract
There was more reference to independent research. A lot of repetition from the case study was evident in responses from weaker students with no balanced discussion. Most candidates included some analysis and referred to Foto Creativa. There were only a few candidates who scored well on this question by adding analysis, evidence of original research and substantiated opinions.However only a few candidates seemed to fully understand the markband and what was necessary to reach the top level. The majority of students failed to understand the expectations of command terms such as analyze, examine and evaluate only ending up giving unsubstantiated descriptions that lacked detail.
