COMMENTS
What was particularly good about the work?
Mind Map 1
You have given consideration for the factors that impact upon gambling.
Mind Map 2
Good consideration for focus groups in a mind map format.
What could be done to improve it?
Mind Map 1
The objective of the task was to create a mind map which unfortunately this is not – please see link on how mind maps should work https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11135-011-9463-8.pdf.
Mind Map 2
Could provide more depth in places by adding another level in, for example, in remuneration, why should this be a topic for discussion? Or number of participants, how many are you going to have? Within a mind map try to connect the different nodes to show the relationships. But very good nonetheless
Second marker comments
Not sure why the student didn’t use the same mind mapping technique for mind map 1, done very well in mind map 2.
Marks agreed. They are fair.
