I'm doing the DCE at the moment.

I'm in my second year and doing Unit 10, the assignment which has replaced the final exam. I am stuck and don't know what to do! Anyone done the unit? It's a research task, not the old one!

Any help would be much appretiated!

is it on ab/ad practice? whats the task?

No its Unit 10 – Research into child care, education and development.

They changed how they do the diploma last year. My year group is the first to do it but they changed it again in september so that we dont have an end of year exam, we do this research task instead!

did you get any guide lines? get your tutor to print you some cache guidelines off. its a wide area to reasurch, do you know if your allowed to reasearch using servays etc?

my tutor was useless and it has to be in by 9am tomorrow so basically im completely screwed. Ahh well, too late to do anything now, ill just have to resubmit in a couple months! :(

Will let you guys know what it actaully is about incase you guys come across it too. Your tutors will probably be more helpful though.

And no, we didnt get any guidelines!
