Religious Studies |
|
| The final module you will take is a synoptic module. This means you will be examined on a broad range of topics that you have already studied throughout the a-level course. These topics are briefly listed on the syllabus as specified below. However, revision of previously studied subjects is only half of the requirement of the syllabus. In order to do well in this module, it is essential that you identify links between the specified topics and are able to establish ways to link them in an essay. The synoptic carries a higher weighting than normal as a proportion of your final grade, so it is worth investing some extra time in revising the topics and their relation to each other. | |
