Feedback and error review.

Try this with Marine Science

1. Choose one criterion, teacher comment or mark you want to understand.
2. Compare your answer against that criterion and rewrite only the part that missed it.
3. Try the same skill on a fresh task to see whether you can apply the feedback.

Pick a starting point

• Where reefs grow: global and Australian distribution, latitudinal and cross-shelf patterns, and the abiotic limits on corals
• How the Great Barrier Reef formed: geological history, sea-level change since 20 000 BP, reef types and reef zonation
• Coral classification and anatomy: soft and hard corals, hermatypic and ahermatypic corals, genus keys and building the limestone skeleton
• Coral feeding, symbiosis and life cycles: nematocysts, zooxanthellae, reproduction, larval recruitment and reef accretion
• Habitat complexity and connectivity: corals as ecosystem engineers, rugosity, mangroves, seagrass, estuaries and herbivorous fish
• Reading reef health data: diversity indices, Whittaker plots, coral cover trends, water quality, tipping points and hysteresis
