Examiner's summary

Criterion A [3/6]:

The student's research question lacks focus as it uses a broad and vague analysis. The student is advised to use a question tag that allows for more in-depth analysis, such as "To what extent" or "What is the effect". However, the student does discuss a relevant environmental issue (the pollution of soils in Germany) and connects it to the global issue of heavy metal pollution in soils derived from vehicles. The student should provide a more detailed explanation of the connection between the local issue faced by Germany and the global environmental issue of soil contamination by heavy metals.

Criterion B [4/6]:

The student incorrectly identifies the independent and dependent variables for their research question. They correctly list the variables that need to be controlled for valid results. The student provides sufficient detail for the method to be replicated and includes helpful diagrams and photos. However, they do not fully describe the chosen sampling strategy. The student justifies the use of the sampling strategy and lists all possible risks, including a safety assessment. They do not include an environmental assessment but include an assessment of ethical considerations.
