  1. Rudi seems to be doing most of the work in this group. The rest of you need to pull your weight! I'm still waiting to see the remaining questions answered for the preliminary task. You are currently working between Level 1 and Level 2 standard, depending on which member of the group you are. There needs to be a more committed effort if you are to reach Level 4. Use the Year 13 blogs to see what sort of material you need to be uploading.
