Philosophy, Religion & Ethics

Assessment

How will I be assessed? This course is designed to be assessed exclusively at the end of Year 13. At that point each of the following units will be assessed by a separate two hour exam: 1. Philosophy of Religion 2. Religion and Ethics 3. Developments in Christian thought Each exam will be worth 33.3% of the overall qualification. There is no coursework and no other work will count towards your final grade. It is therefore essential that all students who opt for this course realise that they will be sitting three ‘high stakes’ exams. Having said that, students will receive a extensive feedback on their essays and lots of opportunities to hone their skills in essay writing in timed conditions prior to their final exams so will be ready to excel on the day.
