Hey there! I guess you could consider how the process of careful planning may result in predictable/anticipated discoveries and consequences, or consider how surprising discoveries can emerge from one’s circumstances or curiosity :)

Chelseam is pretty much on the ball here with how you'd do it! I definitely think the first one she suggested would be your best bet!
I look at your question, and chelseams answer is more or less the way, i'd think about answering it

Keep in mind, that if you're looking at your essay question, and a question like the one you have asked occurs to you, and the answer doesn't pop into your head within 5 minutes, then its probably better to just focus on answering the question the normal way, because have roughly 40 minutes in an exam situation to write your essay, you cannot spend 20 minutes trying to work out how you'd answer the question!

Hi Adam, this is a very intriguing read!  ;D

Do you think that there are any types of AOS essay questions that would be inappropriate to use this method with?

Thanks!
I haven't come across any that i think are "inappropriate" to use this method.
But that depends on what you mean by "inappropriate"
I have definitely had questions where you look at it and go "nope, no way am i going to be able to come up with a way to do it" or ones that you could, but you just don't have enough time in an exam setting. So if thats what you mean by "inappropriate" then yes i have.
But if it's anything else, then no i do not think so personally

dermite:
would this work for any other modules?
