What are people's views on this? I can't quite decide whether it's a good idea or not.
Coursework provides people who tend to panic in exams the chance of getting a decent grade, but is that necessarily a good thing? With all of education being finally assesed by exams is giving people a way out a good idea?
Sooooo... anyone?

well maybe not abolish coursework but there should be the choice, if you feel like you are going to do rubbish in the exam then do coursework, or if they have a medical reason or something...but otherwise 100% is placed on the exam
Coursework shouldn't be abolished. It is a huge pain in the backside, but it gives people something to fall back on if they make a complete mess of the exam.
It probably should be worth a higher percentage of the overall grade though. Exams last a couple of hours and are worth as much, if not more than a piece of coursework that took months to complete.

Coursework abolished= Good idea
I'm an exam person myself.
I hate coursework.
You start it all motivated, then as the weeks go by, you rush it all to get it done at the last minute.
Exams are simpler, you go in, do the exam, walk out.
Job done.

Have you done A-Level history?
The marks there are something like 8 marks, 22 and 25 for 3 essays.

Yup. The criteria for answering Source questions is just daft sometimes.

True. That's why I hate sources. Actually I think my hatred is justified, in a lot of cases they expect you to write realms of information on a source when you just can't because of its limited content. A few acute sentences could answer some of those 8 mark source questions.

Yeah but you can't do that with interpretation and whatnot of Sources.

English isn't, history is - memorise the textbook like I did for GCSE (I just read over it and made notes and the important things stuck) regurgitate it and get an A*. It was essentially plagarism..
