Introduction
Welcome to A2!
The structure for the A2 course is similar to the AS. You will take the following modules:
Care practice and provision – meeting service user needs, multidisciplinary teams, promotion of quality assurance by services, legislation.
Anatomy and physiology in practice – respiratory system, cardio-vascular system, digestive system, reproductive system, renal system and musculo – skeletal system.
Child development – patterns of development, influencing factors, theories of play, how to plan and make a learning aid for a child.
The anatomy and physiology module will be exam assessed. The others will be portfolio assessed.
General Hints and Tips * Back up all coursework – do not rely on one computer/ memory stick to keep files on. * Put page numbers on coursework – they are needed for marking! * Refer to texts used throughout your writing. * Bring this booklet to all lessons where you are likely to work on coursework. * Hand in coursework on time and do not leave completion until the last minute. * Bring in coursework as you go along if you are unsure that you are working on the right lines. * I have exemplar coursework (both excellent and very bad) which you are welcome to look at for ideas/ guidance.
