Hi !

This is a wonderful thread, I am totally new to this, but to see this is fab!
I am currently doing my Msc - Applied Social Research, I have just had my suporvisor meeting and I have decided to analyse the ''normalisation'' of drugs! - Still undecided of the exact drug I want to focus on - I quite like the idea of cognitive enhancing drugs in students!

But hey everyone - I completed my undergrad dissertation on whether or not there was a gender disparity in Magistrates courts - I enjoyed that!

I'm currently doing the literature review for mine but I'm struggling on how to write it :frown: I've found papers/journals to reference but I'm not sure if I'm writing about them correctly.



Hello! When I did my undergrad dissertation, when I did my literature review I split it into three sections - those that were for my assumptions, those that were against and neutral. :smile:

What do you mean you were only given three days? Surely you knew you'd have a dissertation to do during your degree? Weren't you thinking about possible topics throughout?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but I'm really looking for undergraduate's to do my dissertation online study. If anyone has a spare 15 minutes, and wants to make me a really happy person, then could you please do this study
https://lincolnpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0JsapwdYFu1dCHX

I have been told to collect 400-500 responses, so anyone who answers is really helping! :redface:)

Thanks for trying at least :L

I wasn't allowed to change/modify any of the 5 questionnaires I chose to use for the study, so some questions aren't phrased as I would have liked, but the questionnaires used are reliable and valid, and I suppose that is what counts :smile:

I'll give it another go tomorrow after my exams finish, it might just've been my head wasn't in the right place haha.

Hey guys, my deadline for submitting my proposal is early February. I'm actually really excited about my topic, and I desperately hope it gets approved! It's going to be a cognitive poetic analysis of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, looking in particular at how the use of cohesive threads and deictic references positions us in the mind of a character with Asperger's syndrome.

Now it's just a case of turning my vague idea into a proposal that makes sense!

Hey guys,

I'm a 3rd yr Psychology student. Currently doing my dissertation about 'Gratitude, Personality and Self-acceptance'. I'm in need of a lot of participants, aged 18 and above. Participation is completely voluntary and you can withdraw from it at any point of your participation. The study requires completing questionnaires, which will only take 15mins, and a 7-day daily diary which consists of listing 5 things. The diary will take no longer than 5 mins of your time. If you are interested and want to know more of what is required, please click on the link below:

research project update:

so the past 2 days I've been collecting data for my initial cell line: ATP dose response curve, as of yet its looking fairly consistent :woo: just the last one tomorrow then I can start analysing it and writing it up.

Not sure what the plan is for next week yet though :redface:
Am writing my methodology and methods and working on coding my data for my analysis, but it's tough going as am constantly battling to get on with it, due to having a lot of assignment deadlines this month.

This sounds like an interesting subject :woo: You might need more focus in the title though? In what ways do you think technology is affecting creativity?

so you could say:
- The recent use of Photogrammetry in games which have allowed developers to capture real life objects or environments through photos or scanning devices which then can be used as 3D Assets for games e.g. http://imgur.com/a/wq8JK
So how is this affecting our creativity: Its a much quicker and effortless way to producing 3D assets rather than the person modelling it himself?
- another could be Virtual Reality headsets which opens doors to whole new world of games and possibilities
But this could be an argument on how it open more possibilities?

These are some examples I have at the moment. Maybe "How is Technology affecting our Video Games" .

The Initial Question was "How is Technology affecting our Creative Ability" but that topic was quite wide so I wanted to focus it around the Games Industry.
