I do, and I enjoy it, except sometimes the number of studies we need to know can be a bit overwhelming

Options? What board you doing?
I took it last year, OCR.
Great subject, taking Edexcel. The studies we have to learn are a bit excessive but a very interesting subject all the same.

alright haha
so basically in evaluation we evaluate debates wise right? like eg we evaluate the methods first, then nature vs nurture and refer to the studies mentioned in the syllabus, free will vs determinism, reductionism, so on..?

Yeah do your methodology first (sample type etc.), then procedures (what they did) then do your NNURDS

Nature vs Nurture
Nomothetic vs idiographic
Usefulness
Reductionist vs holistic
Deterministic?
Scientific?
