A level Government and Politics

Hi I don't know whether to take Government and Politics for A level so i just wanted know I few things before I make my decision.

I'm not that oblivious about the political world like I know the basics so if I were to take this course and not know anything about the political world would that still be okay? Or do you need to know information already about the political world?

In terms of how hard it is what would you say?

is there a lot of coursework involved?



Thankss

Hi - firstly, yes - it will be okay to take it with no prior knowledge as the course will/should be taught at base level (assuming that you do not much, if anything, about the political 'world'. Additionally, you will most likely learn about the UK and US Political system and the history it involves, from the civil rights movement (US) to the very basic structure of how the Government is formed (UK). It should cover all of the basics - it's quite an interesting subject.

thanks you

It's not too difficult if you take an active interest and immerse yourself in the subject matter. It's a really fun course. Or so I thought anyway. I'm starting my Politics and International Relations degree this month.

No coursework to worry about.

The University of Greenwich. I never got the hang of essays, I was awful from day one right through to the end of my second year. In the event I threw everything I was taught out the window (why not, I was awful at it) and wrote the essay in what I hoped was a completely unique style, crossing my fingers that it would be distinctive enough to work. I'd convinced myself I'd failed on results day, and I got a B. Very pleased.
