NIMR Human Biology Essay competition 2010

2010 was the eighth year of our NIMR Human Biology Essay Competition. We received 50 entries from 14 schools.

The judging

Essays were judged anonymously in three rounds; the first two by members of NIMR with the two best of each group going into the next round; the final round involved four of our staff and two teachers from local schools. The criteria for choosing winners were based on a combination of quality of information and writing style.

High standards of essays

The finalists wrote to a high standard but many other entries were very creditable, with sound structures, a logical narrative and a clear focus. It proved a splendid opportunity for participants to do their own thing with great diversity of styles and approaches.
