Did anyone else draw lines on the RSR?

    At the bottom of the outline plan and evaluation of sources so they could fit everything in? I was told you're allowed. I have big handwriting so I pretty much had to use the whole page. Will I still get the marks?

    I managed to cram everything into the space provided, but there was a few people in my class who, like you had rather big handwriting and drew some extra lines onto the page. I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. The examiner would have to be an ignorant bollox to drop your marks.

    The only event in which you would have a problem is if you inserted an extra sheet into your booklet, or finished your evaluation etc. in the back of your booklet instead of on the designated page. Once it is on the page they give you, you'll be grand.

    I drew lines in in pencil but then rubbed them out as I was told they could be counted as "added material". I wouldn't worry about it though.

    This made me very worried! Your comment is like me asking if I should be worried I shared a needle with a druggie and you saying "I was gonna use a needle to inject drugs but I didn't cos' I heard it can give you AIDS. I wouldn't worry about it though" :eek:

    I hope it isn't considered to be extra material.

    I wouldn't want to add to your worries, but I also drew faint lines in pencil and then rubbed them out, because my teacher told me that it was frowned upon to leave a permanent mark on the page. Again though, it would take an absolute pedant to penalise you for it, I'm sure.

    They will be looking at your essay and given that you have said you have large writing will understand why you put in a few lines. You worry too much.

    I'm normally a pretty worried person but the LC turns me into a full-blown neurotic mess. I'll try to relax.

    I have small writing but I drew a few extra lines just on the evaluation of sources in pencil. I reckon it's ok because there's no word count or anything for that particular page so it'd be pretty harsh to penalize you for analysing your sources more indepthly?
    Anyhooo I was so pissed off at the RSR at that point I didn't really give a crap anymore ;)
