Jabed, you might want to take a look at that TES site. There is an interesting debate about the text book and one of the authors has said something rather interesting, and something you might find useful.

Hey, sorry I hadn't replied earlier - I only just noticed your post after re-reading some of this thread.

It has turned into somewhat a little debate hasn't it? :p:

I see some of the points there are a little similar to the cog stuff I messaged you about.
To be honest I do treat the book as a bible, I dont rely on it totally but the majority of it seems to be good. I like having the option of a textbook by my side whilst my teacher(s) feed me other info. It's nice being able to bounce back and forth between the teacher's stuff, the folens, and I've got a 2nd edition gross book (which has some brill stuff here and there) to get hopefully a good picture of things we learn in Psych.

You seem to work so hard, jabed! I haven't even thought about opening any text books yet. :frown:

I dont work that hard, you must've worked hard to get good grades in past modules?

Some days I do no work at all, zilch, nada, nothin'
Then after a slow gradual process of collecting notes, I work non stop.

There is never a medium with me. :moon:

edit: you're from america? 0_o

I try to knuckle down before an exam though and get it all sorted. :colondollar:

And haha, no, I'm not really, I just enjoy changing my 'country' tingy majig. :ninja:

I would love to visit the States :coma:

Though I doubt it will ever happen.

Sorry for being really stupid but what do you mean by unit 4? We haven't done any essays yet :frown:

Was meant to have Psychology today but for certain reasons I didn't go. Think everyone was just watching a video on schizophrenia, though.

Aaaah you're not doing Abnormal Psychology are you, jabed??

Unit 4 = PY4 = the last unit :h:

Aaaah you're not doing Abnormal Psychology are you, jabed??

Yep (as in I'm not doing abnormal) we were thinking of doing it but the teachers decided on Memory in the end.

Right! I'm with you lol. We've been learned PY3 and PY4 all mixed intogether with two hour and a half lessons of PY4 and one hour lesson a week of PY3 so get all mixed up!

I'm finding it ok. How about you?

Aaaaaah! We are doing memory too. You're doing relationships too aren't you? I'm not, though I would have thought it'd be quite intriguing.

Yeah relationships is interesting - specially the 'formation' of relationships. There are some good textbooks for some of the topics available by a publisher called 'Routeledge' (the front cover has a pie chart) and I've seen some of the previews of it on Google books and they look good.

bump again :smile:

how is everyone finding PY4 right now?
finding it a little difficult to talk about nature/nurture debate in controversies.
