There are numerous websites designed to provide help with GCSE coursework. If you use such sources, you must declare your use of them. You are advised not to use such websites as often their intention is for students to copy whole pieces of coursework. The exam board (who will be marking your work) are aware of such websites and will not tolerate any verbatim reproduction.

You may find these websites useful:

Coursework workshops

One of the additional Saturday workshops will be for support and guidance on the coursework tasks. The dates for the coursework workshop are:

  • Saturday 07/02/04 Deal class coursework workshop at Dover centre
  • Saturday 14/02/04 Deal class coursework workshop at Dover centre
  • Saturday 21/02/04 Margate class coursework workshop at Hartsdown
If you are unable to attend the workshop for your class then it may be possible for you attend the workshop for the other class. You should speak to me if you would like to attend an alternative workshop.
