Yeah inclined to agree. Although I ****ed up section C so bad! I didn't even know what quota sampling was so i had a stab and i don't know. I know I did well on my Section A and B, but at worst I reckon its about 10/18 for section C! Hopefully enough to get an A :frown:

Did any of you put this for QF

People are more happier when they live with company, and happier with people they're familiar with?

yeah I put something similar to that, but I did use the numerical data, like I said that elderly living with family is 1.6 more happier than those living by themselves

Same xD What did you put for relyability?

ahhh! cant remember...I think I said that it i not reliable due to demand characteristics as the researcher can influence the participant to score a higher score regarding their happiness, to overcome this the researcher needs to test re-test in order to find it consistency of the happiness score.

what do you think of that?

I'm pretty sure that's validity.. And repeating isn't a valid reason for reliability according to the examiners reports.

You're not going to fail because you confused reliability with researcher bias/demand characteristics and your other reason wasn't strong enough (I spoke about replicability in the exam and still got an A so I wouldn't worry too much :wink:

) unless the rest of your paper was terrible and that question was the decider between an E or an F (or a C and a D depending on your definition of fail)

nah my work usually is up to high standard. for section A i must a min get 10 for each question, I'd defo get 12/12 for methodology questions. I could still get and A cuz you need to get 57/90 to get an A. :smile:

Exactly, so don't worry about it :smile:

most people seem to come out and dissect how they did and convince themselves they've failed miserably and then it turns out they've done well.

Bare in mind I never answered question 3 due to time constraints.>.< Weird because I finished PY2 in 2/3 of the time. Wish I could've given my time left over in PY2 to PY1 -.-

aww bless ya, I tend to finish early. for PY2 i started to panic as I thought I was running over time, when in fact it I wasn't! so I finished 15min early, wondering why we weren't dismissed! :tongue:

Our teacher said she'd never seen so many people leave an exam so early for PY2!

While everyone was leaving I paniced thinking I was running out of time even though I had ages left
