Type of Homework

Researching and writing up the project for SQA purposes.

A variety of homework tasks are set including writing and preparing extended response questions (essays), completing problem-solving questions and doing  past paper problems.

Questions are issued for each sub-unit completed in the theory part of the course.

Pupils are expected to write up experiments and project work as it is completed.

Each pupil is issued with a set of deadlines for the various parts of the coursework at the start of the year.

Independent research and study are developed as part of Advanced Higher Biology.

The Scholar programme (on-line) is available to all Advanced Higher Biology students for independent study and revision
