    Some universities do like it.
    It is equivalent to an AS but you can get an A*.
    Yes, you have to do a presentation.

    I've done it, it was hard work because I hate essays, but the presentation was the easiest part, and I would say worth it as far as uni is concerned. It's also done in a couple of terms.

    I thought it was worth it, you just have to be careful about the topic you choose.
