In the third episode of the new podcast aimed at secondary school students, experts share key advice on how students can succeed with their Individual Investigative Study

The latest instalment of our new podcast series, Growing Minds, which was created to support secondary school students and those pursuing agricultural science, is now live.

In episode two part two of Growing Minds, Roisin Byrne, who is the ag science coordinator at Agri Aware, sits down with Iain Wallace, the education officer at IASTA and ag science teacher at Wesley College.  

Sitting down to record the podcast, they have an in-depth discussion on the Individual Investigative Study (IIS) and explore the key takeaways for students to keep an eye out for. The IIS forms a large part of the ag science curriculum, as it accounts for 25% of the total Leaving Certificate subject results. Roisin and Iain talk about defining the investigation theme, structuring your study, the best approaches for each section, understanding word count and marking criteria and the importance of proper referencing
