Environmental Technology 3930 試験対策

よくあるミス

1. 1medium影響する配点: 2Sustainability and future development

   Confusing ecological footprint, the total land and sea area needed to supply resources and absorb waste, with carbon footprint, which measures greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use specifically.

   回避方法: State which one the question names before you answer. Ecological footprint is broader than carbon footprint, which is only one part of it.
2. 2medium影響する配点: 2Hydrogen fuel cell opportunities

   Omitting the key process parameters in a steam reforming answer, such as the 700 to 1000 degrees Celsius temperature range and the 3 to 25 bar pressure range.

   回避方法: Learn the operating figures for each named industrial process on your paper and quote them rather than writing 'high temperature and pressure'.
3. 3high影響する配点: 2Energy building performance

   Giving a final numerical answer in a U-value or heat flow calculation without stating the unit or showing the working that produced it.

   回避方法: Write the formula first, show every multiplication step, and finish with the unit attached to your answer, watts or W/m squared K.
4. 4medium影響する配点: 2Waste management

   Making generic environmental statements instead of naming the specific EU Directive that applies, such as the Landfill Directive or the Waste Framework Directive.

   回避方法: Attach a named piece of legislation to any statutory point you make on waste or emissions policy.
5. 5medium影響する配点: 3Hydrogen fuel cell opportunities

   Confusing the anode and cathode half-reactions in a PEM fuel cell, or writing molecular equations instead of the required ionic half-equations.

   回避方法: Learn both half-reactions as ionic equations and check which electrode is which before you write, oxidation at the anode, reduction at the cathode.
6. 6high影響する配点: 2Energy building performance

   Forgetting to subtract window or door area from the gross wall area before calculating total heat flow through a building's fabric.

   回避方法: Calculate net wall area first, gross area minus openings, and only then multiply by the U-value and temperature difference.
7. 7medium影響する配点: 2Phytoremediation

   Treating phytoextraction and phytoremediation as interchangeable terms, rather than recognising phytoextraction's specific purpose of commercial metal recovery.

   回避方法: State the purpose alongside the term: phytoremediation decontaminates, phytoextraction specifically recovers metal for reuse.
8. 8high影響する配点: 3Quality of written communication

   Writing the QWC questions, 5(b), 7 and 9, as disjointed bullet points rather than structured paragraphs with specialist terminology, which caps the answer in the lower marking bands.

   回避方法: Plan each QWC answer as named paragraphs before you write, and use the correct technical term, biohydrometallurgy, anaerobic digestion, on first mention.
