COURSEWORK HAND-IN: MONDAY 31st MARCH

Final deadline for both A2 Lit (3000 word essay) and A2 Comms (podcast) is on Monday. You need to hand in your work between 12.30 and 3.00pm in 1D25.

A2 Comms students: you need to have exported your finished podcast as a WAV, and we will transfer this from your USB to our USB. The computers will be available during the hand-in time for any final finishing - the hand in period includes our normal lesson time. Once your courseowrk is sorted & you have handed in, you will not need to stay for the remainder of the lesson.

A2 Lit students: please remember to put your name on every page; include footnotes; include two final word counts - one including quotes, one excluding quotes & include a bibliography at the end of the essay. Remember that your word count excluding quotes must not go over 3000 words. Lear lesson as normal at 10.15!

Good luck.
