Programme
Methods in Context Questions
This section examines the demands of the ‘methods in context’ question in the Crime section of Unit 4 and in the Education/Methods topic in Unit 2. We will deconstruct the question structure in order to fully understand what the demands are on students and then work out teaching strategies to develop their application skills.Dealing with common problem questions
We’ll identify the patterns in student performance, point out the common errors they make and suggest some teaching techniques to deal with these mark-losing problems.-
Writing Essays in Sociology
With an even greater emphasis on the need to be able to deliver pieces of extended writing in exam conditions, one of the ways to help students achieve top grades will be through better essay writing technique. The A* grade in A level Sociology
With the arrival of a new top grade, we’ll look at the implications of the A* grade for teachers and students of A level Sociology.New Issues in the Sociology of Crime and Deviance
We will examine some of the new aspects of Crime and Deviance at A2 (including the Criminal Justice System, Green crime and Human rights/State crime) at look at how these may figure in exam questions.
