Wages rose after a factory opened. What can you conclude?: Only that the two happened together. Correlation is not cause: rising wages after a factory opened does not prove the factory caused the rise.
What is the difference between a course of action and a consequence?: An action is what someone does; a consequence is what results.
What are the word and time limits in the Team Project?: Explanation of Research and Planning: 300–400 words. Evidence of Action: 10 minutes maximum for video. Reflective Paper: 750–1000 words. They are hard caps: nothing beyond the limit is marked.
When is the Team Project Explanation of Research and Planning written?: In three stages across the project: identifying the topic and local issue, the plan of action and roles, then a final review of changes. It is not written once at the end.
Why does a Reflective Paper that only describes the project score poorly?: The marks reward reflection on learning and evaluation of the action and teamwork, not a narrative of events.
Who chooses the Individual Report issue, and what is the teacher's role?: The candidate chooses a global issue. The teacher can guide towards a feasible topic and a researchable question and support research skills, but the report must be the candidate's independent work.
