Help students to assess their progress and understand how to improve: the final chapters ask students to apply the skills they have learned across Stage 9, by planning and writing a research report and reflecting on what they have learned from the course.
Encourage reflection through structured Reflection points in each lesson and a self-assessment Check your progress feature at the end of each chapter.
