The Study as It Runs Now

This lesson sets out how the Business Alive Investigative Study runs this year: its weighting and marks, the 2027 brief, its topic and completion date, and the six stages and the compilation of the final report with their indicative times. You rate your confidence at the start of the course, study a class planner built back from the completion date, and note your class's next date.

1 - Overview ~2 mins

Welcome to LC Business: Running the Business Alive Investigative Study. This short course has six lessons of about 25 minutes. You know your business; this course is about running the study with a whole class, from the brief to the signed Authentication Form P.2.

In this first lesson you rate your confidence, see how the study runs this year, and study a class planner built back from the completion date. Then you note your class's next date. Your survey, reflections and plan across the six lessons compile into a downloadable Professional Learning Portfolio when you finish.

2 - Baseline Confidence Audit ~4 mins

Before the presentation, rate your confidence on the five areas this course develops. There are no right answers. You will rate the same five statements at the end of the course, so you can compare each rating with your first.

3 - Understanding the Study as It Runs Now ~6 mins

Watch this presentation on the Business Alive Investigative Study as it runs now: the two assessment components, the 2027 brief, its topic and completion date, the stages and their hours, and planning back from the completion date.
