Have a lovely weekend!
If you would like to do the EPQ, please apply by letter or e mail to Mr Hand rhand@littleheath.org.uk by Friday 26th June. You should state, in no more than 200 words, why you want to do the EPQ and what your initial ideas are for a project.
Remember, you can do ANYTHING you are interested in. Your EPQ can be a traditional 5000 word essay; or you can make something; you can do a performance or give an extended presentation. Find out more from this link: EPQ
Southampton University have set up an online support course which is brilliant and which you should sign up for if you are serious about doing the EPQ. It is FREE and will basically teach you how to develop your research skills. These are vital for the EPQ and will give you superb preparation for university. Follow this link: Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) There are loads of other courses which could also form the basis of the EPQ itself. This course is part of the FutureLearn scheme. Follow the link on the right for more courses.
We will also be organising visits to Reading University library so you can learn how to use their resources and library system. Please have a look at this presentation to find out more about it: schoolsbriefing2013 You should also read this page: Reading University Library and its links along with the Code of Conduct which you will be expected to follow when using the library.
The EPQ is hard work but rewarding. It will not only allow you to choose what you want to do rather than have it dictated to you, but gives you a massive advantage when you start university or employment having developed time management, research skills and general organisational ability. Lots of unis will also reduce their main grades if you are doing the EPQ, but you will need to check individual departments admissions policy for this.
Any questions, come and see me
Mr Hand
