I feel that coursework is a good factor and helps towards the final grade at GCSE, however I think that there is too much pressure put upon Year 10/11 students like me to complete coursework to a short deadline; often only a week in most cases. In alight of the recent plans to cut homework in primary schools by the Association of Teachers, I think that secondary homework/coursework should be taken into account too.
