Sheet: comments

 | Participation
1 | You always have something to say (in a positive way) and make a good contribution to class discussions.
2 | You are a quieter member of the class but seemingly comfortable with this position.
3 | You are a quieter member of the class who could benefit by becoming more involved in answering questions and taking part more in class discussions but it doesn't seem to be hindering your progress.
4 | You have a tendency to hang back, not involve yourself in discussions and I feel this is starting to work against you after three terms of Science.
5 | You need to involve yourself far more fully with lessons to make progress over the coming months.
 | Motivation
1 | I've seen lots of enthusiasm from you this year, well done.
2 | Your enthusiasm for Science is reserved but your keen motivation and interest have not gone unnoticed.
3 | You come across as quite enthusiastic about Science but this is not always translated into the necessary hard work to learn, memorise and understand the information.
4 | Your enthusiasm for the subject is not coming across. If you put more motivation in Science and work harder at it, you'll increase your self-confidence and get more out of it.
5 | Involving yourself far more in the work will stimulate your enthusiasm in Science and improve the quality of your work.
 | Organisation
1 | I see organisation as one of your key strengths and this is reflected in all aspects of your work.
2 | You are quite well organised, making much of the learning easier for you.
3 | You might be organised in your head but it also needs a solid foundation in your written work so this is an area you need to concentrate on.
4 | Without doubt, you would see an improvement in your learning if you spent more effort with your organisation - sadly, it doesn't come naturally to all of us and so you need a concerted effort to stay organised.
5 | Organisation is something you need to work on in all areas of your work. High grade GCSE and organisation are synonymous so you must address this skill.
 | Concentration
1 | During lessons, you always remain focused on the work and can concentrate for long periods of time. Clearly, this is something that happens during your private study as well, a strength that you apply to all areas of your work.
2 | In lessons, you are generally well-focused and you concentrate well.
3 | You sometimes have trouble concentrating in lessons and this is getting in the way of your learning.
4 | You have got to start concentrating for longer periods without being distracted or distracting others.
5 | In terms of concentration, this is a real issue You have to rule out all distractions and keep your attention focused on the job.
 | Understanding
1 | With regards to your understanding, you have got to grips with most of the scientific concepts and have proved this with your good module results.
2 | You have a good understanding of the major concepts in Science but you need to work on the detail, especially for the C/D borderline.
3 | If you have trouble understanding some of the concepts, let me know. You have to use all of the resources we provide as well as questioning me until a topic is crystal clear.
4 | Remembering information in Science is hard and this requires you to actually put in some effort. That means not just slavishly copying from the board; you have to use the revision guide and make an effort yourself.
5 | You've got to start putting in far more work than the mere 60 mins of a lesson. The module test require you to actually do some revision at home.
 | Overall
1 | Overall, you have all the bits of the jigsaw in place to do well. I have been impressed with your attitude, well done.
2 | Overall, you have coped well with the demands of GCSE Science this year.
3 | Overall, you haven't quite yet appreciated the step up in academic demand that GCSE requires. You have got to put in the work in your own time to achieve your minimum target grade.
4 | Overall, you haven't quite made the transition to the level of study required at GCSE. Use the revision guide and practise the past papers before the exams. Above all, take all these points on board and treat every lesson as an absolutely essential part of the entire course.
5 | Clearly, you have got to put in far more effort than you are doing at present. This exam is hard and it will get the better of you unless you take direct action to do the required learning.
 | Target for improvement
1 | You have a generally good work ethic so keep that going.
2 | You do need to concentrate more in lessons to ensure you reach your target grade.
3 | You need more organisation and you need to remember the correct equipment for the lesson.
4 | You are working well in class but in quite a passive manner - you need to actively search through and work at the material you have to learn rather than me doing everything for you.
 | Motivation 1 sub-routine
1 | Your enthusiasm and motivation for Science is very impressive.
2 | I've been impressed by your motivation and enthuiasm, it's good to see.
3 | You have put a good amount of enthusiasm and motivation into the course this year.
4 | I've seen lots of enthusiasm from you this year, well done.
