thanks! but for science subjects like biology do you recommend rewording definitions? my teacher uses the exact definition from the textbook for sample test answers but i'm not sure if that would affect my ability to stand out for better marksFor Business Studies, I don't see an issue with doing that. At the end of the day, the purpose of a definition is to inform the reader/marker of what a particular concept means and the same definition may be expressed in different ways. With that being said, I think that thorough knowledge and understanding of the Business Studies content should result in an increased ability to correctly define a particular concept in your own words.
I hope this helps!![]()
I assume that definitions are a minor component in Biology. Based on this, I don't think it would be an issue to use textbook definitions. They also have the evident advantage of accuracy, so there's very little chance for error if you use it in the appropriate manner. Additionally, I don't think markers will be particularly interested in the source of the definition you provide, rather they will be interested in the quality of your response, including specific components relevant to the question and how well your response performs according to a specified marking criteria.thanks! but for science subjects like biology do you recommend rewording definitions? my teacher uses the exact definition from the textbook for sample test answers but i'm not sure if that would affect my ability to stand out for better marks
