We are now a week into the AS Applied ICT course.
Last Friday I outlined the structure of this A level, explaining that I work through Modules 1 & 2 with you, while Mrs O'Carolan takes you for Module 3.
Module 1 is coursework based, where you will build a portfolio of business documents and write a comparative report. We do that after Christmas.
From now to Christmas we cover the Module 2 course. This Module is assessed by a Computer Based Exam in May.
It very practial / skills based so you must learn how to use advanced features in the standard Office packages.
At Christmas you have a mock exam like the 'real thing' you will sit in May.
You were asked to get the following equipment for my class:
- Ringbinder file with polypockets.
- Hardbacked Notebook
- Individual USB memory stick for my class
You were asked as your first assignment to write me a letter.
This letter had to be dated Aug 2008 (in the Future!) and you have just opened your AS exam results. You have received an 'A' grade and are very pleased with yourself.
You write me a letter thanking me for helping you get this grade.
You write one paragraph (200 words) on what YOU DID this year to get that grade (listened in class, brought the right stuff to class, submitted homework on time etc...).
You write another paragraph (200 words) listing all the things I DID to help you achieve an 'A' (listened when you asked a question, explained concepts in different ways to help you understand etc...).
This letter had to be signed by someone at home and brought in to me.
