Homework

For all students, homework is an important part of learning at NUAST.

NUAST believes that homework is important in:

Reinforcing, broadening and extending the school curriculum
enabling students to understand that independent learning is vital to achieving success and highly desired by employers and further education
instilling the importance of life-long learning
encouraging organisational skills and self-discipline.

Homework is set for a variety of reasons, which are:

to encourage and develop self-discipline, planning and time management skills
to encourage and develop independent study habits
to give students a sense of responsibility for, and a commitment to their learning
to allow reinforcing, extending and consolidating of work done in lessons
to involve parents/carers as partners in education
to develop revision skills and efficient preparation for assessments.
