stating the aim without stating it's the aim

I like how at the start of the year people were telling me I'd NEED to know how to write an ERA when we never even did a single one.

that sounds sus, I had to do 2 E.R.A sacs, but they were easy.

I think there are a list of sacs that teachers can choose to do.

and visionz knowing how to write an ERA would probably help in the exam considering there's an entire section on research methods.

Really? It's in the study design that you have to do one at least during Unit 4 as part of research methods.

maybe it was just disguised as a test. We do a lot of sacs for all subjects that appear varied but are all pretty much plain old tests. Like for an annotated poster we basically did a filli in the boxes test on an A3 piece of paper. If we get audited we shouldnt have a problem.

We breezed through research investigation, finished that area before the end of term 2 so we'd have more time for memory and learning.

I trust the teacher so I guess thats all that matters.

Did it look something like this

I know when I did VCE Psychology at school, all our SACs were done under exam conditions, including the ERA. Nonetheless, it is definitely part of the study design and you had to do at least one.

Never done anything like that.
IIRC correctly it was a thing with like 1 - a, b, c.. 2 - a, b, c.. 3 - a, b.. and all questions were related/consequential. It wasnt a blank piece of paper to start with though.

Yeah, I've done 2 ERAs this year (and 2 last year). Our teacher made us do one in Unit 3 as preparation for Unit 4 because that one's compulsory for the whole state.

That sounds like an ERD.

[Visionz]

aye I dont know.

We only do one sac for each area of study so ive only done 5 and theres one left this week.
