Oh my gosh I was literally just looking for threads on AH Modern Studies and then one pops up on the Latest Discussions bit.
I'm doing Law and Order too
I've not really looked extensively at this but it seems good, http://www.understandingstandards.org.uk/markers_ccc/mark_exercise_multi.jsp?pContentID=10562&p_applic=CCC&p_service=Content.show&

everyone who asks me for notes - I am now selling them on eBay - search for "advanced higher mod studies notes" and they'll be there, in a bundle of AH English, French, and MS for £5 or £2 for the one MS set. If you add in a note saying you're from here, I'll take 50p off. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the link but i cant view anything?
?:L:Lxxx
Glad you like them... only problem is I made them over the course of the year so have no idea what to do to revise now! It's my last exam 
; just French apart from that, which is this Friday.

Thanks Sarah. Those are so colourful, way better than my pen-written notes. Thank you ever so much
Well, that Research methods format was new 
Context B, think I got a Basic pass on, it seemed so specific, it was hard to bring in other stuff. Got 2 and a bit pages (computer) - 16 Paragraphs
Context D was awesome, went all out on how the prison syustem can be seen to be failing, but conversely how some areas are good. - 3 Pages, 18 paragraphs
And got about 33 paragraphs in Research methods, think I'll get a B

meh pretty much sums it up for me! starving so off for lunch, but shall re-join for analysis soonish!
I should go get lunch too I think.
I did B&D of Law and Order.
There was only two of us in my class and one is in hospital so it was only me doing the exam today and I went to the room and no invigilator came, I was getting worried at 9am came so I went and found a teacher who found the exam coordinator who took me to the hall and the invigilators put me at the back, found my paper and gave me an extra 5 minutes cause I was kind of flustered and panicky. I have no idea why the invigilator never turnedd up, I'm rather annoyed.
Essay B wasn't too good, wrote 8 pages of mostly babble, I'm sure my class hadn't done anything about "social and economic impact on groups in society" but I had a few things from my revision (thanks Sarah Leslie!) so I babbled on. It was either this or C and C just didn't make sense to me.
Question D was a lot better, I'd revised this a lot and managed to write 7 pages, of quality not babble, lol (i hope)
Section B was ok. Specific research examples? What?! Are we supposed to know of research studies going on? I just put in examples and did advantages and disadvantages which was fine. 5b was ok as well, wrote about pilot studies etc. 6a I've either got very right or very wrong. I'm never sure if you are actually supposed to draw conclusions when it says "to what extent can valid and reliable conclusions be drawn" so I mostly wrote about why it was/wasn't valid/reliable and did two conclusions. 6b wasn't bad either, at the end I wrote "quanitative data is like table1, qualitative data is like my answers" lol

OK, so I did 2 and 4 of Law and Order as well.
Though 2 was quite weird, as we;d done more the causes/effects of crime in a general sense on people more than businesses, so I just waffled on about how White Collar crime did affect lots of eople, but violent crime affected people more (added in about how people, esp. Marxists, may see the recent MPs' expenses scandal as being an example of it - thanks for the idea, Robbie!)
Like above, 3 didn't make any sense so skipped it
4 was a gift of a question just hope I was coherent enough!
I did 7 pages for each of them, and then 8 pages in total for the research methods which I thought were quite weird
5(a) just included really random examples
5(b) just said how you had to take care with confidentiality and get a representative sample
6(a) said it really wasn't valid or reliable at all - no idea where it came from, number of people interviewed, why the 2nd category was "N/a" all the time...
6(b) had no idea about what to say for 7 marks, so just defined them and said vaguely that Child of our time was an example of qualitative research

Hehe, glad you used my example, acuse I didn't I didn't see an opportunity to slip it in, I thought I should, but then remembered my teacher warned against "pointless waffle". Urg, it was the longest 3 hours (could have been 9-1245 to be fair with my extra time) of my life, since I had a cold, and no tissues, nor did the invigilator have any I couldn't even smell anything 
Yeah, I didn't do that much for B , I mean, it was just so closed, you couldn't bring in Nurture vs Nature, gender related crimes, race related crimes, I ended up just going on about ac ouple of examples of WCC, and comparing it ot other crimes (I did bring in how they don't really need the money, but others, like Shona Waugh, did) I had about 1124 words, 16 paraagraphs so heres hoping I just about passed, I have never seen a question so closed I didn't even think of Marxists, because we only touched upon it in class, and I understand somewhat from your notes Sarah, but didn't want to do much in case I got it wrong But yeah, even if I couldn't use them here, your notes were really good Sarah, so thanks again. I even went out on a wing at one point with some of my own thoughts, musing about whether (in the essay I add) or not Institutional Racism can be counted as White Collar Crime or not, pointing out how only 13% of people arrested under terror laws got convicted, and how black people were 8x more likely to be stopped in the streets than white people.
D really was a gift, started off with a statement form Dr. Andrew McKellan (not sure on teh surname but is Chief Inspectorate of Prisons in Scotland) who said earlier in the year that Scottish Prisons are failing. Then went on to analyse how it can be seen that prisons are getting soft (Flat-screen TV's, free food, free beds etc), and the like for punitive stuff, then for rehabilitation, how Edinburgh Prison, earlier this year, was reported on BBC to have "empty workshops", i.e. it had the workshops to rehabilitate but wasn't using them, think I'll get good marks on that one. I also considered alternative interpretations of "rehabilitation" (spurred on by the ADvanced Drama >_> exemplification from 2007), such as between 1999+2003 (I think), there was one prison suicide every four days, the majority were people with mental health problems. Ergo, their needs were not being met and rehabilitated.
5a) I mainly compared it to postal surveys (without exemplifying a postal one), but used "Student Research panel" for an example of an internet based survey. Hehe, had a controversial advantage, in that UCAS, from what I udnerstand, gives student details to them, and that is where they can build their sample from.
b) Went through procedures and what not, such as making sure that you word it to find out waht you want to find out, having a mini sample (I just remembereed that it is called pilot study, I called it smaller sample) to see if any questions are confusing, organize it in a clear manner at the end stage of conducting, give respondents enough time etc etc
6a) I felt you there sparkly, no source, n/a etc. I did have the validity being that it was a longitudinal so... and for reliability, it had 7 defined questions (even if one was blank), just so I got the balance in, but it really was a crap source, if I can say crap on here
b) Basically just babbled on about how they are different, such as Qualitative is more word based (such as focus group, quoted something I done as an example, took part in a Focus Group by George Street Research on Volunteering) , Quantitative (Structured interview on Dobash/Dobash Marital Violence) etc. I then done some more differences, including finally listing what type of method is usually associated with each type (q or q)
Overall, D and Research Methods were gifts, B, not so much
