Approaches to Learning: At the beginning of the course the subject matter is mainly teacher led. Possible interpretations of the themes will be explored and techniques experimented with. This input gradually decreases in favour of the student initiating his/her own lines of investigation, and using the teachers for feedback guidance and resources. Who is this course aimed at? This course is aimed at students who found the GCSE course enjoyable and who were successful at developing their own lines of enquiry.
