Anyone struggling with any particular parts of the course?
For Study Theme A4 you should know about:
- how FPTP works (advantages and disadvantages)
- how STV works (advantages and disadvantages)
- how AMS works (advantages and disadvantages)
some people say that you may need to know about AV (alternative vote) but I find it highly unlikely that the SQA would be that harsh as it is a very new system and not many students are fully aware of it
- factors which influence voting (social class, age, gender, ethnicity, issues, leadership, party sleaze...)
- the importance of the media (tv debates, the news, newspapers and social networking sites)
This year it seems likely for either a voting system question (FPTP or AMS I guess) or a question specific to media
I will post some more of these if they are of any use to anyone
