Title: Definitions
Post by: walkec on December 10, 2012, 12:06:10 pm
Just out of interest, how many HHD people were told to learn the definitions word for word from the study design? Because I was and I haven't heard of many other schools around my area who do learn them word for word.

I was told to be as accurate as possible, but a few missing words from the actual definition doesn't really matter to much, as long as you get the general idea of it.

This may be different for others but this is what I was taught. Just try and be as close as possible to the actual definition :)

My teacher is an examiner and she said you need to know the definition word by word. She told us the definition used in HHD is 1 mark where as your definition may get you 1/2 a mark

It's abit ridiculous to know the defintion for word for word along as you get the idea of it then that should be enough
