RHS Student Guide Level 2 Unit 2

Those that ask you to define require that you give a definition of the question topic e.g. ‘define what is meant by half hardy annual’. Give the definition of a half-hardy annual plant and include that it completes its life cycle in one season /year as well as the fact it is killed by frost. And those that say ‘explain’ or ‘describe’ require greater detail. For example, ‘describe irrigation using overhead misting units in a greenhouse situation’. Your answer should describe the set-up, including parts, and the process, pros, and cons of overhead misting units in a greenhouse. Now, armed with this knowledge, prepare for the examinations. Study the syllabus of the modules you are taking and decide how you can divide the material into bite-sized sections. It may help to look at the videos for the course again and also complete your course workbooks. People learn in different ways, some prefer to make notes as they go, and others may wait until the end of each module before writing out what they have learned in bullet point form. Use what works for you.
