Surviving Course Work

• Be realistic, if your favourite team are playing
  or its your mates birthday party when youve
  planned to start your work, youre not going to
  be able to concentrate. Forget about the
  coursework for those couple of hours, go and
  watch the football or go to the party, and
  rearrange the time you do the work.
• Set standards high - Aim to get one grade higher
  on a piece of coursework than the minimum
  expected, its important, these are valuable
  marks which could make all the difference to your
  overall grade.
• Set realistic targets. Split your coursework into
  stages and be sure to complete each one by the
  deadline you have set yourself.
• Give yourself incentives. Allow yourself
  motivational treats when you get the stages of
  the coursework done!

Surviving Course Work

  to do.
• Before you start, talk to the subject teacher
  about your understanding of the coursework, your
  ideas for completing it and the level youre
  aiming at.
• Research, make notes and then create a plan for
  the coursework
• Produce a rough draft. If youre concerned, ask
  your teacher if they could look at this draft
• Amend and check your work carefully.

• In the event you do not get the grade you hoped
  for, talk to the teacher to help you understand
  why. This will help you improve next time.

  future?
• What are your skills? What can you offer to the

  on offer and available.

  speak to family and friends or write to local
  companies to see if any are willing to take you.

  suitable for you and that all the relevant forms
  are completed.
