• Outline: Explain and give details about

  Use a good mixture of criticism and positives

  However / Nevertheless / Although / On the other hand / Contrarily
• STEM

  Always apply to the STEM throughout if given one

  Don't answer the question without the stem
• External Validity: Whether the findings are generalisable to other contexts

  Internal Validity: Whether the manner in which a study was designed allows trustworthy answers

  Ecological Validity: Whether the experimental conditions mirror the natural experiment being investigated - mundane realism

  Reliability: How consistent/stable results are (standardised procedure /controlled = reliable)
