G325 Exam - Link
You will also need to reflect on your work and
analyse it in detail in Section A of the G325 exam.
Your blog is for the evaluation but also your revision
and work towards this section of the exam.
15. You have a bit of time to continue discussions if
you are working in a group.
Think about how you are going to organise
yourselves. How are you all going to make sure
you get things done on time?
If you are working alone this is your chance to
scribble down some initial ideas. Remember,
even this is bloggable evidence.
Something to consider – are you going to need
outside help? Who can you ask? It is better to
organise this sooner.
