This PowerPoint is aimed at students and can form part of the taught delivery. It goes through the role and importance of the logbook - making it clear to students how it relates to the 4 Assessment Objectives. My students find this helpful . As a moderator I find many student's don't pay sufficient attention to the log book and this has a significant impact on their final marks. The second PowerPoint I print off for students in handout format to write notes on. AQA A'Level EPQ 7993
