It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2014 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.

How do I download or print the syllabus? You can download and/or print a .pdf copy of the syllabus by clicking on the printer icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I'm used to the old Online Learning System (OLS). What's different about New Classroom? Discussion Questions are not necessary in New Classroom since discussions happen directly below each learning object (assignments, readings, videos, etc.). Forums are no longer necessary in New Classroom. There are no main, private, or Learning Team forums in the new classroom. Now all discussion activities are directly integrated into the classroom or within the activities and assignments. While it may be possible to access forums for this class, please only use the Classroom Discussion area, Private Messages to your instructor, or the Activity and Assignment discussions for your communications with other students and faculty. After you have been assigned to your Learning Team by your faculty member, you will be able to have discussions with your Learning Team members by clicking on the Learning Team assignment or material in the syllabus, then having discussions related to that object. Signature blocks are not necessary in New Classroom since the poster is identified in the discussion threading. The class roster is available on the right...

...Now some Madrasas are not just religion teaching institutions rather they are the brain washing factories of extremism and terrorism and the parents often do not care and do not know what their children are learning at these places. We saw that in the documentary. The government here is to be blamed because they are responsible for taking care of the institutions of both the religious and non-religious educations. The government should take strict actions against all the un-registered institutions. All the syllabus of both the madrasas and other education systems should be under the control of the government. The government should design the syllabus in such a way that conveys the true message of Islam, which is peace. Secondly the media is to be blamed here as well because media is the one who creates an image of a society. Whether positive or negative, although things have changed now and Pakistan is a lot safer and peaceful then it was in the past decade but the media has failed to create a positive image of the people of Pakistan. Question Arises, why can't we face the propagandas? There are 52 Islamic countries and we don’t have any international forum. We don’t have CNN or BBC. We had Al Jazeera as a small voice. We can’t show our view point. We are unable to tell the world that only few are terrorists...

...A cautionary tale about the dangers society might face in the future, the novel Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury is a vicarious insight into a dystopian world. Fahrenheit should be continued in the syllabus as it contains universal themes and textual integrity that is still applicable in today’s modern society. Through the study of the novel, students can use Fahrenheit 451 as a medium to understand how concerns such as censorship and the negative impact of technology affects society, whilst also allowing students to evaluate their own understanding of it. Fahrenheit 451 is worthy of continual appreciation, due to its indelible and unique insight into the social scars caused by censorship. Bradbury employs an animal metaphor, “pigeon-winged books” in order to analogise the capacity of a bird to move freely, to independent thought and critical thinking that books facilitate. The burning of these books shows the suppression of intellectual freedom and independent thought, mirroring the regimes of Hitler’s Nazi party and Stalin’s totalitarian regime in Russia. The symbolic meaning suggested in the title of the second chapter, “The Sieve and the Sand” refers to the sand that represents the knowledge that Montag seeks and the sieve that represents his mind trying to retain this knowledge. The symbol shows the oppressive nature of the government, consequently resulting in a society where people minds are incapable of serious metacognition. In Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury’s shows the...

...it becomes a challenge to students enrolled in this kind of learning to cope and maintain the high degree of academic excellence. There are several reasons that explain this, but the fundamental one is the lack of proper follow-up. You will agree with me with this kind of program there is no one to see what you are doing and how you are doing it. This system lacks monitoring tools of evaluation that are important for students. It is for this reason that that the following guideline has been developed to help in improving performance in an online assessment. Reading the syllabus is a paramount point. The curriculum provides a guide as to the expectations of a particular course. The adult will understand what is required in that particular unit. They can prepare themselves in terms of resources necessary for that group. A Syllabus is a road map, a blueprint of the real academic journey. It is in the syllabus that assignments due dates stipulated clearly. The adult should highlight the times and underline them properly in a personal calendar. It is also crucial for them to review assignment instructions and topic of discussions for instance at the end also the beginning of each week.Additionally, checking the grading guidelines will also prove meaningful to them.If, they are unable to submit an online continuous assessment...
