up at 4am and going coursework..

I remember all of my AVCE Business Studies coursework was about 15,000 - 20,000 words each and there were 3 or 4 assignments like that. As a Business Studies teacher 50,000 words sounds more than un-necessary and you could probably say what you need to in a lot less! I for one would not be best pleased marking 15+ pieces of coursework at that length at this time of year!

Please also remember to proof read your work before printing it judging by some of the posts you've made!

well it is, i could send you the example im going off if you would like? :p

gah im hungry, not eaten since about 8:mad:

You should see the amount of work we get in ICT, the last one i did was about 120 pages long,then a day after handing that in we were given our next piece!!

WHAT ON EARTH!? I would say overall my entire ICt AS is about 150 pages after courseowrk is complete and handed in after all the tasks have been combined.

At AS i have been ahnding in 20 + page 'projects' every two weeks.

Edit: LOL at everyone finally realising A levels aren't THAT easy. But yeah you are right. 30 - 50k words for one thing just can't be correct.

I remember ICT courseworks though, page counts were huge but most of it was annotated screenshots! And the wordy bits were very easy to write.

GAH, tell me about it! every single piece od coursework was petty much the same thing with a slightly different topic but with a stupid amount of screenshots with annotations on how to do EVERYTHING! and yet i do A level ICT :confused::confused: haha :p
 
30k words?! lmfao. My current dissertation is at around 17k words, and nowhere near finished, as well as having spent the last two months writing an application. By the end of it, I should be at between 20-25k words.

I think you got the word count wrong somewhere mate... Hope you get an A without peeing off your tutor too much :p

Not as well as i'd like. Everything is planned out and all the research done however I can't seem to start writing it all up, piecing everything together. I've also got a problem in that my current artefact will contradict the findings of my study so i've got to get that changed asap.

Hows yours coming along?

I don't really have a right to judge you but 30k in one week?

I doubt its quality over quantity.

well i wouldnt say it all in a week but that the majority of it has been.
and trust me (not meaning to be modest!) there is quality, my dad has his own business and has gone over it and couldnt realy fault anything i had doe in it. tbh i may have put too much detail into it... i have had no life for the past week and have stayed up until about 6am a few nights. i did a lot of research the few weeks before i started writing.

I would say its quite an accomplishment considering i got it in june of last year :p

but yeah, i work best under a lot of pressure and generallyalways do well with coursework :)

Same here, no idea what the word count was but I just did the 5w exam

i ad that option as well but i am MUCH better at coursework than exams.
i just cant do business exams, i really cant seem to ever finnish them unless its a resit, that is my downfall :(
saying that though, im still on target for an A :D
 
Go and jump off a bridge please because god help us if people like you get into any sort of power. I would think you ought to learn your lesson when you left the coursework late in the first place, but to leave it late for your extension date beggers belief. You deserve to fail, and I almost hope you do. This might seem harsh but I lose patience with people that don't realise their own luck when given a second chance. Get a grip pal.
