GCSE: Religious Studies (Philosophy & Ethics): Themes and Issues Coursework

"A fairly good piece of writing, which shows the beliefs of both the Catholic Church and the Church of England on abortion. Quotes have been used to back up the points made, and you have tried to analyse these quotes too. Possibly including your own view about the topic would have been appropriate at the end. This piece of writing is fairly short, however it does tell you all you need to know about the beliefs of the two religious groups. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"You have used a an excellent comparison in your opening paragraph which really grabs the readers attention and shows the importance of this topic. You have used statistics throughout, to emphasise your points - some of which are very shocking statistics and make the reader really think. This essay is very strong, and it shows that you have a deep understanding of the topic. I do think, however, that you could state some of the reasons why abortion happens. Your essay is very bias, as you say that anything is better than abortion - but in some cases it is not. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"You've managed to grasp the concept of Religion in the Media, but some of your points need to be expanded on and developed. Your examples are excellent, and appropriate, but you really need to explain exactly what these examples show. Your writing is very informal, and this piece of writing needs to be proof-read. Some of your sentances do not make sense, and this could be a problem in an exam because if the examiner cannot understand your work, he cannot give you a mark. This essay is lacking in length, and a much stronger conclusion is needed. Lastly, are there any shows that actually portray religion fairly? What about TV programmes such as 'The Big Question' or 'Songs of Praise'. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"A short piece of work which outlines some of the main reasons for and against abortion. You have balanced the argument well, and your writing is in no way bias. Figures and statistics could have been used to back up some of your arguments, and to show that you have an understanding of the topic. Also, including your personal opinion at the end of the piece would have been good. Overall, this is a good piece of work, but it could have been extended. TSR User: boosh_slayer"

"A good piece of writing, which outlines the beliefs of many different religious groups. You have also explained why the different religions feel this way about the topic. Your conclusion is very good, and it shows that you have a mature and reasonable opinion on this topic. A better introduction could have been included also. Proof-read your work as there are some spelling errors. TSR User: boosh_slayer"
