FDG109 - Extending Subject Knowledge in ICT

The only QCA worksheets received from last week were Year 1 - half were all correct - the others had at least one error. As I said at the time - the main point of the sheet was to provide an active task, rather than just passively reading one of the QCA units. However the correct answers for Year 1 can be viewed by clicking here.

During tutorials, one of the group asked abour how to reference tv programmes. I don't think that there is any guidance on this in the Student Handbook (certainly not on the sheet I photocopied for you). If you follow this advice from Leeds Metropolitan University in your bibliography then you won't go far wrong. Just put the series title and year in the body of your assignment where you refer to the programme.

Remember if you have any questions about or problems with the module you can get in touch with me by email: graham@GandLJDean.co.uk. There's only one person been in touch so far - does this mean that you're all brilliant and don't need help - or that you can't find the website?
