Notes

You have carried out in depth research on both pandemics, however by being just comparitive it does not fully reach the analytical debate that is really needed to get the high bands. If possible, there would be more discussion on impact. Now that its fully done, I think that by having a comparison essay it does not necessarily allow you to have th eargument and debate that would enable you to reach the high bounds of the mark scheme. After reading and viewing the presentation, it is clear that extensive research was carried out and that you have clear understanding, yet if this were done again a more interesting topic would have been to explore how the pandemic was responded to by different states. I just feel that your EPQ is very formulaic, its concise and structured well but lacks the debate that is needed. Done lots of preparation. Carried out extensive research.

Looked at the achievements towards both pandemics, when examining political misinformation I could have explored the impact on national election, rise of extremism and right-wing (capitol), its impact on civil stability, you couldve given more percise examples of misinformation, you couldve talked about how misinformation during the spanish flu was lest political-party centered and more related to war.
