Hi peoples,

Desperate times call for desperate measures and that's why i'm here, im dying for help on this thing. The teacher is about as useful as sand to an arab.

How far have people got with this?

I'm currently on the questionairre, whens the deadline? The teacher is clueless.

Cheers people,

Gareth. :wink:

Ha all I can say is - GET IT IN FOR THE JANUARY SUBMISSION (UNFINISHED OR NOT).

I left mine till a week before the deadline for June submission and ended up with a D for that unit. Even if its unfinished get your teacher to mark it and submit it for January - if you get a crap grade it will likely be one hell of a motivator for you to improve it for the June submission. If that's not enough, just think yourself lucky that you get to effectively "write your own exam paper", and aren't doing the "Business Thematic Enquiry" written-exam alternative to the coursework!

Also make sure you don't lapse into a "Nice little investigation on a business" mind-frame instead of actually putting some hard BUSINESS STUDIES theory into it - get in your SWOT Analyses, Critical Paths etc. Always think to yourself when reading through your project - 'DO I SOUND LIKE I HAVE STUDIED A-LEVEL BUSINESS STUDIES or am I doing a nice little Year 9 project into Company X?'

Make sure any made-up financial information is plausible. Don't forget to put in your Tables of Contents, Page Numbers etc. (I forgot to!)

Also: beware the "Further" A2 option modules - I got a D in January and a U in June for Further People :frown:
