The first session was a gentle introduction into the world of Year 13 media. The course remains 50% Coursework and 50% exam. This is a two year AS/A2 course so last year's grade will also be considered at the end of the course. It is perfectly possible for a student awarded a C grade in Year 12 to grab an A grade in Year 13. BUT IT WILL REQUIRE A LOT OF HARD WORK.
The aim of the first session was to introduce the element of the exam that explores THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL MEDIA. Read the questions that i gave you. It is crucial that students are able to answer those questions in a detailed and convincing manner. THE KEY COMPONENT OF YEAR 13 MEDIA IS INDEPENDENT STUDY. YOUR QUALITY OF YOUR RESEARCH WILL DICTATE THE FINAL A LEVEL GRADE.
