The authors sought to address aspects of these key questions in an empirical study, which focused on GCSE mathematics and physics papers. For each subject, groups of 'expert' and 'graduate' markers were led by a Principal Examiner in the marking of identical samples of candidates' responses on...
As an Aerospace Engineer, you'll research, develop and design components for space vehicles and beyond. You'll look to solve problems of how to improve fuel efficiency or how do we lighten the load without compromising the mechanics. You could either stay on this side of the earth's ...
