Summative Assessment Task
you must choose an area to study, given the available data you can access.
you should discuss what aspects you wish to study and what you plan to achieve. The activity will require you to conduct data analysis on a chosen domain. This can be something with potential social impact such as the environment, population distribution, wealth, health, education or international aspects.
For a local perspective you could look at data available from the ONS, Office of National Statistics. For something more international the World Data Bank has vast open datasets you could consider.
Or even currently https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/
Decide what data you wish to do and ensure you keep good records of the group meetings, any discussions you have with clear details of who is doing what. The projects end with a presentation by the groups to the class.
AE1 will consist of an individual report which details the outcomes and contribution of their involvement in the project, as well as a continuous self-assessment though discussion.
As this is a reflection of activities write in the first person, unless you prefer third. Whatever you choose stick to it don’t switch around.
