For IGCSE History students have to complete two coursework
assignments, both based on the Depth Study Germany 1918-45. One
assignment examines the ability of students to analyse and evaluate
different types of historical sources. The other assignment tests the
student's skills in analytical extended writing, on a topic of historical
importance. Both assignments taken together are worth 27% of the overall
mark for IGCSE History. The importance of making a good effort on the
coursework cannot therefore be overstated. Although some class-time will
be given over to the completion of the assignments, it is expected that
students will spend a significant number of hours working at home.
