Booklets

The department uses booklets to provide you with structure, helping you to know where you are on the course. Teachers will give you out a new booklet when you start a new topic. It is your responsibility to keep your booklets up to date and carefully filed when the topic is complete. If you lose a booklet you will need to print off another copy from Godalming Online and fill it in.

Godalming Online

Content will be added in order. Each section is colour coded to the relevant booklet.

Stratification = green

Crime = purple

Theory and Methods = light blue

If for some reason you miss a class, in addition to contacting the college, you will need to email your teacher and ask for the work you have missed.

Grade boundaries

Notes marking

The department uses a 3 point scale for marking notes. 3 = excellent, 2 = good, 1 = satisfactory, U/S = unsatisfactory
