Distance Learning Geography GCSE - The Course

Each lesson of the Geography GCSE course begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions, and there is a diagrammatic summary at the end of each lesson for ease of revision and guidance for the preparation of coursework. There are seven tutor-marked assignments and three practice exam papers. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed or required.
