Case study - Jamie, Elaine, Jackie and Greg. How well did they do?

Tutor's answers

QuestionHow well did they use their resources?

AnswerVery well. They knew they were struggling without Jamie to do the computer work, so they asked for help from relevant sources - their tutor and the technicians.

QuestionDid they find the information they needed?

AnswerMostly. They had a few hiccups when they missed out a few centres and clubs, but it all turned out well in the end. They would have learned a lot about research skills from this part of the project.

QuestionDid they work well together?

AnswerAfter the disagreement at the start about how to present results they did get on well together and covered for Jamie's absence without quarrelling.

QuestionDid they manage their time well?

AnswerYes. After they wasted a bit of time at the start, they realised they would have to get a move on. They also worked extra hard to cover for Jamie and get things finished. And they coped with finding a few extra clubs to be covered near the end.

QuestionDid they manage to complete their project?

AnswerYes, they did everything they set out to do. They even did a bit extra after the project had finished to make sure their pack was complete.
