Introduction to the A2 Coursework Module

The markscheme for this module is here.

The A2 coursework involves creating a database for an organisation of your choice. If two students choose the same organisation, their work should be very different.

Organisations which students have chosen in the past have been:

-    A paintballing organisation
-    A function room
-    A bed and breakfast
-    Limo hire
-    Holiday home hire
-    Entertainer/magician hire
-    Golf lessons
-    Driving lessons
-    Bouncy castle hire
-    A hair or beauty salon
-    A bank
-    Sky
-    A local school (you would have to base it on a specific task, eg a school trip)
-    Roby Sixth Form College    

You should see the coursework as an opportunity to show your examiner exactly how capable you are. Every document should be well written and well presented:

-    Use a similar header for each page
-    Use a footer which contains the drive and document name, so that you can always find each document. Make sure the documents and 
     files have sensible names
-    Don't page number your first draft
-    Annotate every screenshot
-    Use the same font style and size (maximum size 12) on each document
-    Use Control and Enter to page-break
