Sounds hard too, done a bit of child psychol, and some biology, but not sure if I would like that.

It is really hard! Have to do it though as it's a compulsory course in my Psych degree Sad

What sort of things is it? It does sound interesting, but hard!

I will be doing it in the future rl2957. I have done some biological psychology in the past so if you have any specific questions pm me. I haven't been about on the forum much recently as I have been trying to get my head around social psychology and a big quantitative report I am having to do for DSE212.

I hope everyone had a great Easter and the studies are going well.

Very Happy

Sorry for not replying sooner - I only just remembered this!

No it's a Level 2 but I remember reading that people believed it should be classed as Level 3 before I started it and I agree. Although the assignments are only every other month, they take a lot of work and I am finding the reading tough, even though I did GCSE Maths and Science, and A Level Psychology.

Roll on October!!

I've just had a nose at the course on the OU website and all I can say to that is... Shocked

Seriously, though, good luck with it and I hope that it gets a bit easier for you soon... especially doing two courses at the same time!

I've managed to get the first part of TMA2 written today, part 2 looks tricky and it's an essay so going to re-read the book first then can't do part 3 until we get data from out tutor.
It's a bit tricky going and have struggled doing the two courses at once but at least have two weeks break to try and get ahead now!
Thanks Medusa Smile

rl2957, how are you getting on with the course??

rl2957 · Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 9:52 pm Post subject:

REALLY struggling! I was always quite good at science but this takes on a whole other dimension. Not a lot of people on the course are too happy with it!

Sorry dont mean to sound negative but it has been hard, especially having a tutor who doesn't respond.

I'm also studying sd226 at the moment and it is a real struggle, so obscure and ambiguous in the questions etc. Confused

Shame because the subject matter is interesting, but I am not enjoying it at all.

Finding this so much more difficult than my other Ou course, just glad it will be out of the way in Oct.
