History

Assessment

The Coursework Module, worth 20%, examines interpretations of History. This module tests students on a range of skills from researching evidence and interpretations, weighing up evidence and consolidating it in a 3000 word essay. The area that we currently focus on is `Interpretations of who should be held responsible for the Holocaust’. Students need to study content on this period and then carry out an independently researched enquiry which focuses on analysing and evaluating historical interpretations. It is a controversial topic and one that students enjoy researching. The coursework element is a great way to prepare students for university as it enables them to research and write their findings independently.
