Examiner’s Specific Advice

This answer specifically requires a direct and linked comparison of the two sources set out in the question. Similarities and differences need to be drawn out to achieve a top level answer. Sources will have been chosen to enable a good contrast to be made. The comparison should demonstrate evaluation of such matters as authorship, date, usefulness and reliability. However, whilst these points provide a ‘toolkit’, students should not use them just as a checklist to run through without careful thought. Introductions and attributions of the sources should be used to develop an effective answer.
