  11. APN Generic Homework Info Deadlines for handing in work must be abided by. Feedback is essential to succeed. Better to hand in poor work than miss the deadline. Otherwise…. referrals, letters home and ultimately exam withdrawal. Getting behind will make it harder for you to pass and this course is hard enough! Graded (A,B,C,D,E,L,U): used for predicted grades by exam boards. (GCSE out of 10). Grades used for reports and UCAS references.

  12. APN Generic Homework Info Late work must still be handed in If you fall behind with work, ensure any subsequent pieces are in on time. If Ill, get notes and immediately find out next week’s homework On return of homework, study any hints and finish it off for peace of mind.

  13. APN Generic Homework Info Homework can be painful, but you learn from your mistakes. Beware of the time spent on coursework from other subjects.

  14. AS/A level Homework • Format: Name, Date, Exercise, Page Number, Group, use A4. • Underline answers twice. • Staples are your best friend (put one in top left: one per homework). • No red ink. • Plastic receptacles are a health hazard. • Advice: Use large diagrams.  

  15. AS/A level Homework • Don't hand in extra questions or notes. • Check answers in the back after each question. • Attempt every question. • Advice: Spread your work out and start at the top of a clean sheet for a hard question. • Hand in your solutions in the same order as those set.

  16. AS/A level Homework • If correct, mark with a TICK  (not in red ink). • If wrong, mark with a large ? (not in red ink). State what the answer says in the back of the book. Add a line of English explaining your problem. • Don't tick work that you haven't checked or got wrong.

  17. And finally … • Summary on last sheet (unless assignment). List question numbers you got wrong or could not do. You may use a smiley face if you feel you have completely understood () Timetable homework in diaries and start it the same day. • Sort out problems BEFORE handing in.
