The EPI. Help needed.

[pi]

Okay, so I have got my end of year report back for yr 11 and I look at physics 1+2:
Exam: A+
Class work and tests: A+
EPI: D

I was pretty unhappy, but seeing as though we only had a physics teacher for the first three weeks in the semester and subs for the rest (we learnt the course ourselves), I was understanding. This was also my first EPI.

Can all the VN physics gurus out there please give me some tips on what an EPI is and how to do one correctly? I am especially worried about the layout of the EPI, length and what teachers are looking for.

If someone could upload their old EPI which scored highly, that would also be great, as the highest mark in my class was C and that report was 43 pages long! So if an upload is possible that would be really aweseom (any topic, I just want to know how to set out a good EPI).

Thanks.

Our teachers have told us they are calling it Specialist 1+2 from next year onwards?


Maybe not at your school, but at our school it will be...

He's talking all subjects. Academic award at MHS takes every subject, every grade.

That's right

Per year:
English: 8
Methods: 8
GMA: 8
Chem: 6
Physics: 6
+must complete work experience, must hand everything in on time, and no suspensions to be available, and top 5% of year level only, for an academic award

(my brother got one this year though, but in year 9 it is top 10%)
