Criteria Feedback
- The student sets up a clearly geographical enquiry focused on a specific coastal landform system.
- The student's study area is precisely located and the maps help the reader understand where the fieldwork took place.
- The question is linked well to coastal geomorphology ideas and allows hypothesis-led investigation.
- The enquiry would be stronger if it defined more precisely what evidence counts as dune formation or stabilization.
- Some map labels and presentation details are inconsistent or hard to read.
- A little more local geographic detail would make the context even more convincing.

Criteria Feedback
- The student's methods are relevant to the enquiry and include transect sampling, wind-speed measurement, soil pH testing, and vegetation sampling.
- The procedure is generally easy to follow and shows an attempt to standardize data collection along the coast-to-inland transect.
- The student identified appropriate field equipment for collecting quantitative primary data.
- The method detail is not sufficient to judge reliability fully, especially for wind-speed height and orientation, pH calibration, and soil sampling depth.
- Repeat readings and averaging are not clearly shown in the presented data.
- The human-activity observation method is too vague to make that evidence robust.
