    My timing was so bad for that exam It said we should leave 40 minutes for the last question but I left like 20 minutes and my hand was shaking. Good luck for the examiners being able to read my handwriting!!

    Didn't realise people were still stressing over this exam

    Calm down guys, enjoy your summers! Although the weathers crap, it's time to relax and reward ourselves for the past two years!

    There's nothing any of us can do now, just gotta wait and see on August 16th

    No i didn't write about the interactionist theory i just was worried that i should of! i wrote about interpretevist methods - focus groups, participant observation (positives and negatives) and a bit on the basis for interpretivist methods (want meanings). And then evaluated with positivist methods. So i hope that was enough. What did you write about?
    Well of course you did fine that was what the question was about! I focused on interpretivist methods in terms of feminist and postemodernist theories - stuff about finding out the 'reality' of society in particular patriarch can not be done through positivist methods used ann oakley, spoke about value committed sociologists wanting to aid the world through interpretivist methods mentioned ann oakley again - counter argued this with the value binladen idea.. Then spoke about how postmodernists believe using positivist methods would make sociology another meta narrative and we should not impose set answers on people as it may not fit them.. It was a long time ago I don't remember much LOL but it was along those lines. mentioned the science debate and other stuff
