Easter updates
Now that the Prelims are over, its very much the "business end" of things in Higher Modern Studies.
We know this because, over the years, the google analytics don't lie!
The numbers logging into the site really increase over the Easter period and the exam itself in May.
The numbers of people logging on to the site the morning of the exam is the scariest of all!
There will be a fair bit of new stuff going on the site over Easter.
Scottish Government funding, inequalities in Glasgow, Zuma's South Africa, the return of the Republicans in the USA, media freedoms in China, are just some of the new articles that are currently being written.
That's not to mention a full and relevant update on anything which happens once the General Election is called.
The word is, the most likely date is May 6, a couple of weeks before the Modern Studies exam on May 25.
So if you do Electoral Systems, Voting and Political Attitudes (and who doesn't?), we'll have all the good stuff for you.
And a fair bit of fun during the campaign itself :-)

Modern Studies
Higher Modern Studies
Modern Studies is one of SQA's most popular National Qualifications.
The subject is taught throughout Scotland and is respected by employers and universities, especially faculties of Law and Humanities.
Modern UK Politics and A Curriculum for Excellence
A Curriculum for Excellence (ACfE) is the Scottish Government's key initiative to improve education in Scotland.
It seeks to improve not just attainment in National Qualifications, but wider skills and capacities in young people for participation in a global society.
These are;
- Developing successful learners
- Developing confident individuals
- Developing responsible citizens
- Developing effective contributors
Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education (HMIe) has published an important document on what ACfE means for Modern Studies.
Likewise, Learning Teaching Scotland (LTS) has a website dedicated to good practice in developing A Curriculum for Excellence.
Our textbook Modern UK Politics was published in December 2007.
It has been written to prepare students for the Higher Modern Studies exam and contains activities within the book to reinforce learning of the key issues in UK Politics.
But, Modern Studies is for life, not just a one off exam.
