Title: "COMPARE" questions
Post by: hi.itsjessi on August 17, 2018, 01:54:23 pm

Hey guys! Was just wondering, when we're asked to compare in a question- is it ok to answer in a table?

Hi, I'm not 100% sure because I don't actually do bio, but I do earth and environmental science and chem, and I think its a great idea! My teachers have said that it is great for markers as your answer is well structured and can be clearer to read, plus it makes your answer stand out. As long as you make sure you have the correct columns/rows so that you are comparing the right things. Often if I do this in a question I have a sentence at the beginning explaining the similarities, then use a table to show the differences. Hope this helps!
