Also still finding this hard and have left the forum well alone as people seem to be saying differnet things. I am putting off doing this assignment and think I may wait until the tutorial next week and definitely go to that.

Mine's just sort of sitting at the moment because I can't quite bring myself to look at it again - not like me, to be honest because usually I have a look at it nearly every day for a few days and do some tweaking...

Hope the tutorial clears things up for you though, rl2957. Fingers crossed! Very Happy

I feel like I'm on a different planet with this TMA! I just don't know what to write. I'm going to go through the assignment booklet once more. There is no way my methods section is 400 words!

My Methods section is about half that but my Conclusion is twice as long!! Very Happy

It does say that it's for guidance only; but I'm clearly (due to the apparent 'weighting' derived from the guidelines) going to lose marks on the Methods section and the Conclusion (and probably the rest of it too the way things are going - though by some miracle those seem to be on-track as far as word count goes!!). Confused

All we can do is our best... and since we're all finding this one really hard that speaks volumes, really, doesn't it?!

I think so Medusa. I need to remind myself that this isnt the ECA!! I feel like I've spent that much time on it. Maybe it's because of the different style, we have really done essays up until now haven't we?

Yes - it was a bit of a shock to have to think outside 'essay mode'...! Very Happy

Thank goodness they have alternated them so that the essays are in between the more 'practical' assignments!!

I did have another tweak today; talked myself into it... lol

I think otherwise I'll leave it as it is and send it.

Ah well in a week or so it will be over! I have spent so much time on this one (or just staring at the page should I say!) Only the discussion, conclusion and abstract left now.

I hope you have all managed to finish 04, sorry I have had internet problems so not been about. What are they basing the project on this year? If I can help and it is not to late, let me know.

Thanks, Veggie. Very Happy

TMA04 was a report about interviews with two children and is based around Rosenberg's theory of self-knowledge. I've managed to get it done but don't think it will be much cop, frankly... Confused

I've still got the discussion and asbtract to do, which I will try and do at the weekend. I've spent so much time on this and the next one doesn't look much better!
