Will this change though because of A-Level changes?

Well if your question is do people get homework in A level and the answer is certainly yes you get a lot of homework. If you question is are they removing homework then I don't know but I don' think they would do that no.

I still get homework, but in my sixth form you don't get a detention if you don't do it.

Miss too many homeworks and they will kick you off the course instead.

I don't know about your local sixth form but at mine we're set at least 2-3 hours a night, and expected to do about 15-20 hours total of independent study every week.

If anything, I get probably triple the amount of homework now than I did at GCSE. A Levels are hard, and you want to do all the work you can during the year to help during the exam period.

Pretty sure that's not true :tongue:

If homework has suddenly been banned, please let me know so that I can actually have time to eat or sleep this weekend.

Any homework for me is a pain, I hate when people come up to me in College to copy off my work, they know I'm one of those people who do it, that's the last time, my work is my work.

Yeah supposedly the general rule of census is for every hour of in school lessons, it's an extra hour of independent study. Assuming you'll be doing the minimum of fours hours for each subject, you should be doing four hours of extra work at home or in frees if you have them. A-Levels are kinda brutal and no-one really tells you just how hard they are. It's a major step-up from GCSE and even if you don't get set specific homeworks, I suggest you find something productive to do because it'll pay off.

I think the concept of A-Level homework is different from the GCSE kind.

GCSE teacher: "Do this rather pointless sheet by the end of next week, or you'll get detention."

A-Level teacher: "I suggest you do these basic core knowledge sheets for next lesson (two days away), alongside further reading and note compiling, and perhaps an essay too please."

I've always done my homework, and have been more inclined to getting it done ASAP during my A Levels, as you'll fall behind easily and by exam time you won't have a clue what's going on.

So no, you don't have to do your homework, your teacher might be annoyed but they cannot do much since its your choice to be there.
