FQP2 — Paper 2: class practicals

Psychology · SL / HL · syllabus-mapped notes

1. How do we spend 30 hours on class practicals if the tasks seem far simpler than this?

   The hours also cover alternative methods, teaching research methods and ethics, and IA proposal practice; they are suggestions.

2. Would running the IA research as a class practical be double-dipping?

   Best not to link them; they promote different learning. They may share a topic but must not be the same study.

3. Do teacher-run experiments count as class practicals?

   Yes; the guide states class practicals can be teacher and/or student led.
