Higher Politics - Exemplar Essays

Hi there!

I am currently doing Higher Politics as an online course with ModernityScotland - this is my last year of high school, and I need an A from it.

I don't have much of classroom experience as my teacher saves voice notes for the slides for us to go over, but we never actually have online lessons.

The essays in particular are something that I don't seem to be clicking with, as it appears to be a slightly different structure to Modern Studies (did that last year and got an A, online too but with lessons).

Does anyone have any exemplar essays from when they did it that I can have a look at?

Thanks

Can you remind me of what section 2 is about, what essays are asked? I can possibly look about my google drive and see if I have any examples for you.

Can send you some for Executives and Constitutions if you like? I’ve cracked the course since I made this thread so hopefully you like them.

I am doing it online through dollar academy but I don't go there. It's mainly in the political systems section I can't work out the exectuive branch essays and I don't have much information or resources.

Ignore the lengthy evaluations - I got away with doing a small overall comment at the end of each paragraph in the prelim (literally tiny) and still got full marks, so don't worry about those, was just paranoid writing it!
