CAPE Communication Studies 2009 Mark Scheme

This document contains a mark scheme for an examination on communication studies. Question 1 asks about sources of data on student truancy, including primary sources like truant students, parents, and friends, and secondary sources like principals and teachers. It outlines what types of data could be collected from these sources, like reasons for truancy, as well as additional data sources and challenges of collecting large data sets. Question 2 discusses methods that could be used to collect data on truant students, such as interviews, questionnaires, observation, and case studies. It provides examples of advantages and disadvantages of using questionnaires or interviews as a method.
