Alternative to Coursework

If you do not complete coursework you will have to sit an extra examination paper called Paper 4. This tests your ability to analyse and think about the issues that would be involved if you did an actual piece of coursework. 

Paper 4 is divided into two parts:

• Human Coursework
• Physical Coursework

You will have to answer both parts during your examination.

So what do I need to know?

You will need to be able to:

• Consider heath and safety
• Know how to plan a piece of fieldwork
• Know how to formulate hypothesis 
• Be able to discuss data collection methods
• Be aware of data processing and presentation
• Analyse data
• Judge to what extent hypothesis have been addressed
• Evaluate methods of data collection

Project:
 In pairs you will be designing a booklet designed to address all of the above 'areas you need to know'. 
You should ensure that you use words, diagrams, examples and annotations to complete the project AND you have to consider both human and physical fieldwork. 

Hint -  Paper 4 field work examples can appear for ANY unit studied and therefore a certain amount of common sense is needed. However, all the skills are transferable.
