, is it possible to get an A without mentioning the names of Sociologists?

It isn't impossible, you only get a certain amount of A01 marks for names - so obviously you'd lose marks for not using them, but you can still get an A if your essay is almost perfect beyond that.

I find it so much easier to remember the theories/arguments/points without attempting to remember the name of the sociologists.

So I'm wondering, is it possible to get an A without mentioning the sociologists name? Instead saying Researchers or sociologists.

Obviously for Marxist and Functionalists sections of the topics for Education, Crime and Religion you need to mention the big names such as Marx, Althusser, Willis Durkheim and Parson etc.

But do I need to remember names like Murray and Mirza and the countless of other god knows names?

Beyond perfect? So a decent/good essay won't be enough. Hmm

Of course, though, if you use the names you've already mentioned you should be okay, but I would advise you learn a few more.

For the Crime unit, I learnt around four names for each topic and I got an A, so you won't have to learn an absolute ton.

sorry just wanted to add basically you cant get into the top band i.e 16-20 because you will show no conceptual knowledge

but 3 15's and doing quite well on the rest will an A

I guess so. Thanks, 4 for each topic seems reasonable I guess



Thanks and what's Conceptual Knowledge? Heard that term plenty of times but haven't got a clue what that means.
