Hi, I'm doing OCR A level computing at the moment. The coursework only applies to the full A level course and it's not too bad to be honest. It's up to the individual how complex or how simple to make your project, and so the difficulty relies almost entirely on what you choose to make. If you have programming experience then the creation really isn't that bad, if you don't then I wouldn't worry either since you'll have your first year to get used to programming a little.It seems to me that the majority of the coursework is more about writing about what you've made, which can be a bit of a pain at times. Although in this new spec I think they have put a few more marks into the creation rather than the written work. Overall though it's really not as bad as it seems as long as you're willing to put the time into making it good and improving it.I wouldn't let the coursework put you off doing the course though if you like the subject of computer science. I don't really like coursework, but it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be to be honest with you. After all, the coursework is only worth 20% of the final grade, so it's not too big of an element.Also, it's worth taking the course if you think you'll be interested anyway - if you don't like it, or later decide that you don't want to do the coursework, you could take the Linear AS Level instead and then you won't have to do the coursework at all!I hope this helped a little, I'm sorry that this post is so long haha xD
