Default How to get an A* in history coursework?
 
I'm with edexcel and i'm doing 3 questions on the 1960s and my sources work is on Jack the Ripper. I've got 32/50 on both but no one is showing me how to improve. Any suggestions?

Research the subject as much as possible, cheating could be a good idea, as long as you have the decency to be discrete about it. you could look at tsr's sister site coursework info.

Surely your teacher would have given you general feedback on why you got a C grade?
What was your grade breakdown? (AO1, AO2 etc...)

For my Jack the Ripper I got two high 2s and 3 3s (out of level 4) I don't know about my 1960s, I'd imagine the same, although there are only 3 questions for that

Hm, I havent got mark back for mine but for the source one. But, make sure you have developed all your points and used all the sources. Also, dont forget to use own knowledge. I would ask your teacher if your unsure.
