Can we write in dot points

[milanander]

I know the systems part of the forum is pretty dead but my teacher is hopeless at answering my questions. For the final 5-marker on the exam is it okay if we write in dotpoint form instead of full paragraphs? It's so time consuming. is it possible to lose marks for writing in dot points even if you covered everything needed? I found nothing on examiners reports.

I believe u can write in dot point, considering most of the other subjects allow for it. I mean they are just marking whether u answer the question, not how u do. But you probably shouldn't just in case because they might not accept it. Also tip - Try to write about the Social, Economic and Environmental outcomes in those questions when it asks about possible impacts. It ensures u can get all the possible marks. But yh it does take more time.

Cheers mate thanks a bunch.

Just to clarify - when you say economic impacts, do you mean when the technology is expensive to produce, or maybe when the benefits you gain from it does not balance out the cost of production? And would people being unable to afford something count as an economic impact?

Thanks!

The last question on 2013 was a 'discuss' question and i think the exam report says marked taken away for dot points. Hard to know if that rule still applies.
