Screenshot after screenshot! My coursework is a 200 page folder of screenshots which has to be printed out such a waste. Hell i don't even write in proper sentences "This is picture of save" it's good enough to get the marks just take screenshots, i have spent the majority of the past year and a half writing about HOW companies use IT, this isn't IT i could write this on paper but since it's an IT we've got to do it on computers...
About the website thing thanks for the advice i'm approaching it real soon, i'm just going to use the dream weaver path, rather than the notepad approach!
Many of my fellow students think that this course "doesn't test their IT knowledge, rather their ability to work their ass off screenshoting a 100 page report!" We had to design a database/spreadsheet combo for a survey on mobile phones, my conclusion was "most people use pay as you go" this is an A* standard i could have just guessed it, i got the rest of the marks from screenshots it's a load of rubbish...
I have a database with 7 relational tables, now after the teacher having a meeting with the chief examiner and telling him how bad the course is i find out that my 7 tables isn't correct and that there is no "justification" for so many! Too late to change it now... I now have 7 times more screenshots than everyone else and my coursework folder is triple as thick as everyone else's but i'm not on target for the A*'s.
I do an AQA Applied Double IT Course, this is the WORST subject i have picked for GCSE. How do you managed to get a class of 30 people to all hate IT? It's simple give them a GCSE IT course to do, everyone in my school who does GCSE IT hates it, hell i was going to go into a career in IT after GCSE IT no way, my IT experience is better than the whole class' i program in more than one languages, the majority don't program and don't understand HTML... such a course has removed my enjoyment and everyone elses for IT. Looks like i'm down for a career in engineering w00t!
AQA if you read this i must tell you YOUR GCSE IT COURSES suck, predicted A* i have learn't bugger all on your course...

Anyway this is the end of my rant...
