Description
Our Online IGCSE Sociology course offers an in-depth exploration into the complexities of social relationships, processes, and structures. This course is meticulously designed to equip students with a profound understanding of human societies, along with the roles of continuity and change in shaping social life. Through the Sociology IGCSE online syllabus, students will critically evaluate a diverse range of social, economic, and political structures, thereby mastering the sociological method. Moreover, this IGCSE Sociology online course cultivates the skill of assessing various forms of information and evidence critically.
In applying their burgeoning sociological knowledge, students can better analyse their own lives and societal participation. The Online IGCSE Sociology course serves as an exceptional foundation for students aspiring to progress to AS/A Level Sociology and, eventually, higher education in sociology or related disciplines.
Homework, Assessment and Reporting
Students in our Upper School enrolled in the Sociology IGCSE online course are expected to complete at least one piece of homework per subject each fortnight at Level 3 and weekly at Level 4. The pathway to success in the Upper School hinges on the consistent revision of notes to consolidate learning following each lesson. Students are advised to create revision cards and notes for each topic as they traverse through the course, ensuring they are well-prepared for their final exams at the conclusion of the two-year IGCSE programme.
Internal assessments for Level 3 take place in June, while Level 4 internal mock assessments are scheduled for November and March. Comprehensive reports, which include grades for attainment and effort, along with individualised comments from Success Coaches and the Head Teacher, are provided at the end of the Autumn and Summer terms for Level 3 students. For Level 4 students, reports are issued following the mock assessments in the Autumn and Spring terms.
To bolster continuous dialogue about academic progress, parents are encouraged to utilise their family Teams account. This platform offers the unique advantage of providing more intricate tracking of student performance in the IGCSE Sociology online course than would be possible through a single annual parent consultation evening.
