Criteria Feedback
- The student chose a clearly geographical investigation rooted in a specific coastal dune setting.
- The student's maps provide both regional and local spatial context and use several useful cartographic conventions.
- The site description makes it clear that primary fieldwork was feasible and appropriately located.
- The research question is broader than the evidence collected, especially where wind and human influences are named but not fully investigated.
- Some elements of the location description could be more tightly tied to the exact transect and sampling points.
- A few map conventions and labels could be clearer and more polished.

Criteria Feedback
- The student used a sensible transect design that fits the study of dune succession.
- The student's chosen techniques are broadly relevant to the relationships they wanted to investigate.
- The student included repeated measurements and sampling across multiple sites, which supports usable primary data collection.
- The method is not fully consistent, especially in the way sampling intervals are described.
- Some procedures are only partly explained, particularly the way vegetation cover and dune height were measured.
- Wind data are mentioned in the question but not properly collected or reported in the method.
