Homework is an integral part of the Intermediate course and is designed to compliment the content and provide opportunities to extend students skills and knowledge. The style of the units varies, some homework is done on-line, some electronic and some is written. An emphasis on exam practise and improving problem solving skills becomes more evident later in S5/6.
