Deadlines for A2 Media Production

Please ensure that these dates are saved somewhere safe and that you set yourself regular reminders. There is no need for you to aim for the latest possible deadline, so why not set your reminders for a few days in advance?

Many of you learnt the hard way at AS that leaving things until the last minute is NEVER a good idea and remember that like at AS, your time management and organisational skills are explicitly assessed in the 'Planning and Research' section.

My advice? Get into good habits from the START!

Remember, your Media teachers will be monitoring your progress here* and commenting on your blog posts regularly - but they will only be able to give you meaningful feedback if your blogs are up to date. Please post regularly - remember you can always label posts 'Work in progress' using the Labels widget in 'Settings>Labels' to indicate where posts are incomplete.

*The same colour code applies as before:
Red = Not on track to pass if you continue working at this level
Amber = On track to pass, but needs more work to achieve target grade
Green = On track to achieve or exceed target grade if you continue working at this level
