I decided to go ahead and narrate my presentation on the select and appointment of judges as revision.
Beware though, I recorded it all in one go with no script so there’s a lot of “umm…” that would have been edited out if I had done it in Audacity (but I did it in Powerpoint). It’s in the .pptx format, so you might need Office 2007 to view it, though it’s probably that there’s a backwards computability patch that Microsoft released for it, like Word.
Question 7 is disgusting. In fact, take a few moments to read through the question paper and point out a lot of the errors. But it’s the badly form HTML that bothers me most. Why does the exam board want to teach us incorrect information?
I expect that that web page in newer browsers would just break, or it’d be outraged and refuse to show the page. The other HTML questions are awful too. I only got a few marks in one question because I used <p style=”text-align:center;”>, rather than <center>. The thing is, depending on how well the person marking my exam knew HTML, I would have gotten full marks for that bit.
Okay, I guess I was intentionally using CSS because I knew they were looking for <center>, but still, my point’s still valid. AQA shouldn’t be teaching us invalid code.
I’ve done the aims and objectives part of unit 1, which I think is pretty damn good. Problem is, I’ve sort of lost my enthusiasm because I’ve lost what I should be talking about. I have to write stuff down because I find it so easy to tangent, and then I forget what the point is that I’m supposed to be getting across. I think that’s why I get easy marks for identification, but then I get fucked on evaluation and analysis because I just miss the point – not because I don’t know it.
Anyway. I’ve done some external analysis on what’s stopping the aims and objectives from being full filled from within that section. I think I should do an in depth section on it now though. I think my problem last time was that I talked about interest rates, and I talked about them really well, but didn’t mention the aims and objectives which I guess are an integral part of the coursework.
Okay, I know what I’m doing now.
This is the topic that made me fail this unit; I wasn’t in the lesson that we learnt about ADR in, and didn’t find the energy to get the notes off anyone (I didn’t really know anyone in law last year). The extent of my knowledge for ADR is this booklet of slides from the lesson, which were supposed to be noted during the class (mine remain blank) and a model answer. That’s good, I suppose, at least I know where to start. Not to mention, the last time I heard the acronym ADR was over a year ago.
I’ll be honest; I did try to read the entire GPL license, but I just couldn’t. I may be studying law but I’m no lawyer. I did, though, read the FAQ from the GPL website. That’s fairly simple, but it is bloody long, and most of it doesn’t apply to me at the moment since I don’t release or hack anything that ships as a binary, so I thought I’d run through what I think you’re allowed to do with software under this license.

Question 3 of the January 2004 paper.
Kellie’s and Jim’s rights would come under the occupier’s liability area of law, which discusses the extent to which the occupier must go to in order to keep people on their land safe.
I just started looking over the stuff for business unit 11. The way I revise is by answering past exam questions. I head to the AQA website to find some, and there’s none there!? There’s an examiner report about the exam, but no actual exam. Not helpful at all.
I guess I can work from the specification, but they never actually tell you what you need to learn; that’s why I like using the exam papers because you can actually see what they’re going to ask and how it’s going to be asked. Take law for instance, the questions don’t mention defences at all but you’re still expected to put them in. You wouldn’t know you’re supposed to unless you’ve seen past mark schemes and exam papers.
The examiner’s report is actually quite helpful though.
I’m just going to go ahead and learn all of my text book.
As a token of how unorganised I am, I wanted to make a post saying what exams I’m taking.
In May, I should be (at least, I think I am) retaking computing, unit 2 (CPT2) and law, unit 2 (LAW2). Both of these are AS resits because I failed them last year, which is always fun.
A2 exams I’m taking in June are law, unit 6 (LAW6) and unit 4 (LAW4), computing, units 4 (CPT4) and 5 (CPT5), and business studies, unit 11 (BUS11).
I’m resitting law, unit 5 (LAW5).
Jolly good, only seven eight exams. Plus three sets of coursework. Before July. Joy.
Question 3 of the January 2004 paper.
(a) Consider what rights and remedies the owners of the cottages, including Irene, may have in connection with the noise and other problems caused by the leisure activities and the oil spillage.
The cottage owners and Irene would have rights in the law concerning nuisance. There are three elements that need to be proven before a the cottage owners could successfully claim against Highlife Sports within the law for private nuisance.
