History

Assessment

You will notice some differences and similarities with GCSE History. There is still a variety of learning styles. Sometimes the teacher will lead the lesson while on other occasions there will be far more independent learning. The teacher will set up a task and it will be your responsibility to organise the completion of it. The teacher will be on hand to guide and advise you, but it is your motivation and organisation that are crucial. You may be asked to carry out source investigations, internet research, presentations or debates. Visits and student conferences help extend learning beyond the classroom. The course is assessed through one coursework unit and 2 exam-based units.
