So does that mean that the section C question is most definitly not going to be on a expierimental design?
Well I'm glad that its only 10 either way!!

Sec C - can not be your detailed study

@ketts - nope. doesn't have to be an RM. But all indications point towards one.

I would have though that section C being only 10 marks would be more of an indicator that it wouldn't be an RM :/ but who knows after the U3 section C question haha
Title: Re: EXAM COVERS ARE OUT!!!!!!!
Post by: REBORN on October 11, 2011, 06:09:44 pm
Aim - 1
IV - 1
DV - 2
OH - 2
Ethics - 2
Sampling/allocation - 2

There are many other variations of that marking scheme. 10 could easily be RM.

It just as easily could be "Evaluate and explain the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping"

Okay yeah, now I see.
But yeah, it's just too hard to tell.
Either way, I'm just glad it's only worth 10 marks.

That's suprising considering SA was performed shockingly.

p value definition - <30% got it right
change blindness definition - 20% got it right
aphasia definition - <30% got it right

SA is hard :/

Post by: REBORN on October 11, 2011, 07:39:43 pm
4.8 --> 5 ---> 5/15 ---> 33.3%

well my SA outperformed my ER but I know where I lost my marks in ER and it could have been higher.

I laughed at multiple choice question 36, assesors just said "Students did not consider all aspects of this question" 15% got it right  :P
Most people either got two or four in the ER lol  :-\

I admit I performed better in the ER than SA, but i think I'd still rather section C have only 10 marks.
