Introduction to Coursework
Centre-based assessment - 60 marks
Candidates must complete one coursework assignment, set by teachers, of up to 2000 words.
This coursework assignment is based on human geography (settlement) and must is clearly
related to one or more of the syllabus themes (Unit 2 - Explain the problems of urban areas,
their causes and possible solutions).
The time spent on the coursework assignments should reflect the weighting of the
component in the total assessment (i.e. 27.5%) so about 20 hours in total.
The prime consideration will be the quality of the content of the assignments in relation to
the criteria on which assessment is based (see next page for detailed mark scheme). Centre-
based assessment will provide a complementary assessment of the assessment objectives
tested in Papers 1 and 2, with an emphasis on assessment objective 2, skills and analysis.
The coursework assignments must cover the assessment criteria in the proportions given
below.
Assessment criteria Marks allocated
AO1: Knowledge with understanding 12
AO2: Skills and analysis Observation and collection of data 12
Organisation and the presentation of data 12
Analysis and interpretation 12
AO3: Judgement and decision making (conclusion and evaluation) 12
Total: 60 marks

Our Tour – Fieldwork locations
Above you will see the path of our tour around Berlin. We will be stopping & collecting data
at up to 8 sites with a lunch break in between. The red marking on the map above shows the
location of the Berlin Wall and the ‘Death Strip’. You will be spending most of your time in the
former East Berlin with the tour finishing off in the former West. Transport between the sites
will be on tram, a bit of walking and Metro.

Fieldwork Methodology
At each site, we will stop and our tour guide, Nikolai, will give a talk about the area you are
standing in together with some information about the local history and geography, how it has
come to be like that, including improvements and possible counter protests. You are to listen
carefully to him, taking notes on what he says in the space provided. Once he has finished,
you will split off into small groups to conduct your surveys and take photos. There are no
interview possibilities with members of the public.
