Unit 1:ENGINEERING IN BUSINESS & THE ENVIRONMENT

How to improve your grade!

• Your folder must read properly – it must link together.

• So for each section introduce it saying what you are going to explain or present.

• Present the information and then draw conclusions or write a summary.

• Remember a summary should be short and be easy to understand.

• Write a clear heading or title for each section. Use the banner criteria and Grade descriptions to help you write the titles. There is a list below which you could use.

• Refer to other sections and don’t be afraid to repeat information if it helps to make your folder clear.

• Make effective use of diagrams. Annotate (detailed labelling).

• You must have a financial section which must include calculations – all banner criteria must be complete or you will fail.
