WJEC Criminology Level 3 Unit 1 controlled assessment

I am in year 12 and have never been taught any of my Criminology WJEC A-Level course by a real criminology teacher so me and the rest of my class are basically doomed. Can anyone who has done this course or has a real teacher help me. We have taught ourselves the content for unit 1 and unit 2 so far but don't know what to expect in this test in March. I know there is a campaign section but we don't know if that means were have to actually make a campaign or not. Please, please help me. There is hardly any information online and the information I can find can only be accessed by teachers.

It's not an A level - its a daft Welsh Exam Board 'Applied Diploma' - and its not the 'same as an A level, whatever your school tries to tell you.

If you are not happy with the teaching, just talk to your Head of Sixth or your Headteacher.

I already have talked to my head teacher and they are trying to help but everyone is still confused. I just wanted to see if anyone could help me answer my question about the controlled assessment and give me more information, but thanks for helping me clarify that it is not an A-Level I really wish my school have told me that before I picked the course.

Hi, I am so sorry there has been miscommunication which has led you to choose something that you didn't have total understanding of. I would say please contact relevant staff as it sounds you don't feel you've received sufficient support.
