The four samples
Each card links to the annotated page for that assignment, where two or three passages are quoted and the reasoning behind them written out.
Energy Engineering
Model answer
Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production Pathways: A Comparative Techno-Environmental Assessment
A 2,300-word MSc comparative assessment of blue, green and biomass-derived hydrogen that handles a live academic disagreement without ducking it. Three annotated extracts show how to weigh contested evidence.
- Handles a live academic disagreement by locating its assumptions
- Conclusions are conditional, and the conditions pick the technology
- Attacks its own comparative framing before a marker can
Health Economics
Model answer
Financing Universal Health Coverage: A Comparative Analysis of the Health Systems of the United Kingdom and India
A 2,333-word MPH comparative report on two health systems that could hardly be less alike. Three annotated extracts show how a shared framework makes an unequal comparison fair.
- Compares functions, not outcomes, so the comparison is fair
- Decomposing coverage produces a finding aggregates hide
- Defends its choice of comparators on structural grounds
Big Data and Cloud
Model answer
A Cloud Big Data Architecture for a UK Grocery Retailer: Evaluating Distributed Processing Frameworks and Service Models
An MSc report that challenges the assumption cloud is cheaper, and shows when it is not. Three annotated extracts show how to evaluate an architecture against a specific business, not in general.
- Makes 'cloud is cheaper' conditional, and names the condition
- Evaluates against three named workloads, so it can decide
- Cost critique feeds back into the proposed design
