Aqa sociology resit 2016

I thought the questions were okay but the lone mothers in number 2 really got me! I just wrote 1 point- it's due to the assumptions made about women being naturally suited to be the home maker/ nurturer and couldn't think of a second point😔 Question 5 was good but I was confused with the way the question was structured so spent about 5 mins rereading the question but I wrote about the ideal family of talcott parsons 'nuclear and how the needs of those family change depending on the social structure it's found in and this change results in loss of function (so unit of production) and then I wrote about new right and how they disliked family diversity - and critisised with feminism but I ran out of time and I made bullet points of the 5 diversity of family(rapports) or something and wrote what they were and becks (risk society) so my question is, is it possible to gain few marks with just bullet points and a little bit of explanation?
i hope you all did well and get the grades! 🙏🏻😆

what is there even a topic for feminism?

what would write about practical factors influencing choice of methods...how would you structure it?

Hi, My teacher is predicting that either, feminism, family diversity, family universal or family losing its functions will come up. Last year she got them completly right however not as confident this year, obviously revise everything just in case

Ignore feminism i didn't mean to type that lol.

Practical factors include:

Time - Participant observation and unstructured take longer than surveys
Finance - Some methods cheaper than others e.g. postal questionnaires are cheap
Source of funding - Sponsered by government? Business? Charity? Often easier to get funding for quantitative research
Personal factors - Reseachers have family comittments etc, may not be able to do lengthy research in this field
Research opportunity - If opp suddenly appears, researcher may have no time to prepare lengthy questionnaires or interview schedules.
Personal danger - Methods involving direct contact with research group increase possibility of danger (this is also an ethical issue but point out that some cross over more than one category to get analysis marks)

lol, I predicted all the questions so I'm quite happy, but I didn't feel confident with the equality question so I did that one last and only managed to fit in one paragraph of the feminist perspective and a sentence on parsons segregated conjugal roles... so I'm screwed for that one but I thoroughly enjoyed the functions of the family paired with family diversity one... hated the dependency ratio thing... wtf was that?!? then I find out everyone knew what to write :|

Are you guys talking about AS or A2 Sociology?

Size of the relationship of the non working population with the working population

Your teacher was dead right! Does she have any predictions for education paper next week old spec?

Social class is my main gut feeling of what will come up as the 20 marker essay. However, I reckon there's a good chance a theories question (functionalism, new right, Marxism) could come up as well

New right has never come up
What about social class? Working classing underachievement
