CAS Final Essay

Anyone else writing this write now? You're basically just supposed to say what you've learned and gained from doing the activities in CAS right?

*Sigh* I would have done 98% of the activities even if there was no such thing as CAS :tongue: I did 12 activities and I can only think of 1 that I did because of CAS. I guess I just have to BS my way through it.......like my self-evaluation sheets.

Yea, just make it look as if you've done and learnt a lot from CAS and bullshit a bit if you don't have enough words! It's important anyway to your final mark as long as you pass CAS!
