Please could you tell me what sort of things we should be researching... are we meant to be researching about the way the businesses achieve CSR or are we meant to be looking for relevant articles in the news? My teachers really have not made it clear! Thanks

hi i was wondering if anybody knows the answer to this

i currently have 284 ums in total across unit 1 - 3
if an A is 320 does that mean i only need 36 ums on unit 4 to get an A?

if i did get 36 ums (a U basically) on the last exam and i recieved an A, would my firm uni reject me due to almost flunking the last exam? (considering they've only asked for an A in buss and i am applying to do maths and im sure they care more about me doing good in maths and furthmaths)

I tried asking my teachers, they just assumed i was being arrogant, but i genuinely want to know if it relieves some pressure on me to do well in this final exam

Yeah you only need 36 UMS for an A. If the uni asked for an A, and that's what you get, they wont reject you because of a certain module grade. (Unless they specified the grade you need in each exam)

Aim to get 80 in BUSS4 - good exam technique with lots of relevant research evidence will get you very close to this.
Hi
Lots of FREE resources here: www.revisionstation.co.uk and also advice on the approach to take, tips from the examiners and also lots of videos and articles on NESTLE, NIKE, PRIMARK, MONSOON, APPLE, MCDONALDS and BP amongst others.

Drop in, look round and enjoy for free. The idea is to watch the videos, look at the discussion points, read the articles and make your own pages of notes.

The examiners are look for you to be able to use a range of businesses in your answers, so read lots make a few notes and you are well on your way. Also has some theory if that's what you are looking for.

No download cost all free.

How about you go and spend £40 you've earned on a resource, then give it to me?

No, didn't think so.

Umm I actually would

It doesn't affect me in any way putting something up on the internet for other people to use.

I've done it plenty of times before.

It's called not being selfish

Go on then. :wink:

If you want something, go and spend the money on it.. I'm not buying it for others to leech off me. It's also against the T&Cs of the document, which I bought on a single-user license.
