PLANNING IN SBL

AAbiodun4y ago
I have seen tutors advise differently on planning which is very confusing. Some advise to just go straight to the questions and copy and paste by annotating questions and approximating time. I find this time consuming doing it for every question and i lose time to planning its hard yo do this in 20 mins as advised. Is it better to just form strutcture to the answer and simply view the task in CBE instead of copying? If copying and pasting is still advisable should you separate each question and plan for each ? And is it acceptable to leave the questions within the answer as this would take time going back to delete. Do you lose marks for leaving questions within the answer? To me its unprofessional .

This is very much a personal choice. Myself, I don't rate copying and pasting. It takes time and if you're not careful you end up with far too much. Also, usually any copied material in your answer will earn no marks. I prefer highlighting and/or jotting down rough notes that you can refer to but which will not appear in your answer. I would do this for one question at a time.

Sir what about this "And is it acceptable to leave the questions within the answer as this would take time going back to delete. Do you lose marks for leaving questions within the answer? To me its unprofessional " As I also struggle with the same thing...

The answer should be a finished product, not a work-in-progress. Delete stuff that should not be there?
