The course is split into four Units. Two units will be taught by Mrs Jackson at Dyce Academy and two units by Mr Jones at Bucksburn Academy. You will usually be issued with a set of notes at the start of a unit – and you will be expected to spend 10 minutes homework each night after Philosophy making sure you understand the concepts you have been looking at. Please note that if you don’t do this, you will be disadvantaging yourself for exams – this is not a subject you can just pick up for revision. There are complicated concepts which you will take time to learn.
