GCSE home coursework is scrapped

[timROGERS]

I think it will only apply to people who start the GCSE course in 2009, because if it started for everyone in that year then you would have one year of your GCSE's with coursework and one without

I havn't yet taken my GSCE's and annoyingly will not be doing coursework, the coursework takes a larage chunk of your GSCE level in your exams, quite a lot of your mark was based around it, I'm terrible at sitting exams but I can do the work at home etc. I tend so I'm on MSN while doing work.

Quite annoyed by this but I hope it wont effect my grades for GSCE.

i think that its a bad idea. same as you, im much better at doing c.w as i can do it in my own time and at my own pace, whereas in exams, you have a set time to do the exam, and if your not feeling very well or your heard is not in the right place at that time, you will get a rubbish mark.

If I'm going into year 10 in September does this mean I will be affected? Or does it only apply to the pupils going from year 8 into year 9 in September?
I'm kind of confused of the year they are changing this. Any help?

I'd rather do my c/w at home tbh, it wont affect me anyway I don't think.

[reindeer.]

my exams are in 2009 ;[

[Faye]

i dunno about it all tbh , but all i know is that i wont have to do it.

It's much easier to do coursework at home I think. Controlled coursework sounds stupid, wasting time doing it in class. Also when your at home doing it you can work all night on it etc, but in class you can only work a certain amount of time. Probably the majority don't cheat?
