When answering the
questions, you may need research and/or refer to support documents to gain
evidence. When doing so it is important to put all researched
evidence into your own words and reference quotations
accordingly to avoid plagiarism.
Further guidance on
academic referencing can be found in the resource section on Ecordia
Ensure all answers
are written in paragraph format, do not used bullet points, lists or indents to
answer questions. In addition, you will need to provide full explanations and
include examples of your working practice where required. When including
examples from work practice describe what you have done personally by using
terminology such as ‘I have’ or ‘I do’
All questions
answered should be theoretically based (from research) to confirm application.
Word count – although
there is no definitive requirement, this is a level 7 award, therefore, we
would expect approximately 300-600 words per question. Where
asked to research and compare theories or models of practice it is essential
you use at least 2 sources of research for each question. These will
include research evidence, organisations information and examples of your
contribution or situations you have dealt with or deal with daily.
Please note
when analysing, you need to explain about the concepts and
identify your thoughts on them and make a case for your reasons.
When evaluating,
you need to reflect and include what works and/or can work well, what does not
work well and/or might not work well, and future thinking.
