Study Skills

Course summary

Do violent computer games contribute to anti-social behavior? Is it ethical to genetically engineer babies for designer purposes? Will we find life in the solar system? How can sports fitness improve through football? Is Wi-Fi safe? Is music an effective way of motivating workers? If you are interested in the answers to these and similar questions, and you would rather do coursework than exams then the Extended Project is for you! It allows you to be in control of a really interesting and perhaps controversial topic that you are not covering in one of your other AS or A2 subjects. The Project will give you independence and practical skills that will help you in Higher Education and the workplace. You can tell your teacher what you want to study and after approval, you can select from: writing a dissertation, developing a performance, or conducting an investigation.
