I've seen quite a few modern studies students around in various threads, so thought I'd make a thread for anyone who is studying National 5 Modern Studies this year, to keep everything all in one place
So, if you want to discuss how your assignment went, have any questions about the course, or generally want to stress out about the exam, then this is the place to do it
And if you're looking for any of your other subject threads, you can find a list of them here

Could you please tell me if police and government responses to crime are the same thing
Thank you so much

Just a quick point, the notes that were listed say that the leader of the Conservatives is David Cameron; Theresa May has been P.M since 2016. Furthermore, the Liberal Democrat leader is Sir Vince Cable.

What did everyone do their Assignments on? How did you find it?
I chose something fairly unusual and chose the Electoral College, risky but I'm happy with what I wrote.

Im doing Nat 5 Mod this year and am too struggling with the skills questions... just find them so so time consuming!!
I did my assignment on the hypothesis "The British Public were wrong to vote for Brexit", and think the write up went ok maybe!! Just the exam to go. So stresses about this one as there's just soooo much to remember for the K&U questions!

I did my assignment on arming the british police and I hope it went alright. Modies is my hardest subject by far and I'm just panicking for the exam because I only really just started revising. Working on notes so I might put them up here when I'm done with them (democracy in the uk, crime and the law, world power- usa)

Someone told me the exam is written in a booklet? Is that true or is it just paper? Thanks

Your questions will appear in a question paper, and you write all your answers in the answer booklet, as the question paper booklet is not marked. A number of other exams also use an answer booklet for candidate responses.
Hope this helps

For my assignment i talked about child poverty in scotland. It was quite tough to find enough to write about but overall i think it was okay. Still not started revising for modern yet as maths isn’t my main priority but i’ve got 5 nights between them to study. I prefer cram studying anyway because everything seems to get in my mind quicker

My assignment was on the media's influence. Much of the KU answers you can kind of bluff through with common sense if you don't remember, but I am struggling a lot with timing. I have no idea if I am writing enough or too much for the marks allocated. Does everyone else use the PEE chain method? I'm not necessarily a slow writer as I had plenty of time to spare in the write up of other assignments/prelims, but with Modern Studies I am always writing right up until the time. Are my teachers telling us to write too much? Or does everyone else have similar experiences?

It’s not just you. Our teacher makes us answer in PEEL paragraphs for every question. In the prelim i finished right as time was up. The source questions are too much with everything else but thankfully i’ve not chosen it next year because you need to write an essay in the exam

it kinda depends how you feel at the time. For my prelim i did the questions in the order they were given and i’m glad i did because the source questions are 10 markers. If you definitely know all of the KU then give it a go because if you aren’t picking it next year, i’m sure it won’t be the end of the world if you don’t get am A or a B.

Yeah I'm not taking it to Higher either. The course is interesting enough, but I feel like the structure of the exam is testing my ability to write as fast as possible rather than my actual knowledge of the subject. I agree with the source questions; even if they had a separate paper for the source questions similar to how Maths and English do it, because having the different question styles really disrupts my focus lol. Do you think it's worth me doing all KU in one go then move onto all Source questions, or would that be pointless?

I agree on timings it is really difficult for Mods, I find KU essay but the Skills time consuming so I just get through the knowledge, try and pick up some marks usually around 8-9 for conclusions and 7 for the others and then move on to the next section.
