Geography

Assessment

The course covers both physical topics such as coastal landscapes, hazards, and water and carbon cycles, and human topics such as population and environment, changing places, global systems and governance. This is a two-year course where students have two exams on all the units covered: one physical and one human. There will be a mix of short and extended questions using a range of geographical skills covering both human and physical topics. There is also an NEA (Non-Examined Assessment) where students choose a topic to investigate. This is an opportunity for students to explore their areas of interest within their preferred discipline. This will involve independent data collection, further reading and extended writing opportunities.
