I know that this post has been a really long time coming and in real terms ED209 is about due!! However lets start with what I learnt about DD101.
DD101 is a nice module, it covers a wide variety of topics which should interest most people who have any interest in the world from the troubles in ireland to the debate on Tesco towns. However there are some short cuts and advice that I may be able to help with.
1) You only need to really read the chapters that are relevent to the TMAs that you are doing.
2) The further you get in to the module, the more interesting the topics become.
3) Try to get to grips with what is required for a crtical analysis as early on as possible and really get to know your 'process' words so that you are getting the right answers to the questions.
4) You can only PASS this module so use it as a time to play around with the TMAs to see what works for you rather than trying to get that First as you won't see it.
5) Pick DSE212 as your next module as oppossed to ED209!! DSE212 is the level 2 version of DD101 in many ways. ED209 has really caught my interest but it isn't easy as there is so much to learn. The TMAs are okay but the amount you need to learn for the exam is heavy.

DSE212 has started
This may be a bit of a long update as it may have been a while.
DSE212 has begun and I now totally understand why they suggest that you do it prior to ED209. DSE212 looks a doddle in comparison. SD226 starts in february and I have already been warned that it is more like a 60 point module rather than the advertised 30 points although to be fair with only 4 TMAs and no exam, it can't be more problematic than ED209.
ED209 exam actually went pretty well considering. I had revised 7 topics between Book 1 and 2 focusing on topics which had come up frequently in the past 4 years of exams. Luckily for me, Temperament came up and Gender Identity came up. Seen Question went pretty well although I was re-reading it up to the last minute but it did stick fairly well. Temperament did go out of my head a bit but some stuck enough to put to paper and Gender Identity became more of a ramble.
DSE212 - Have started TMA01 which is due November 9th and have made a fair stab at it. It is based around identity theories but not like in ED209 although some of the ideas are similar. Going to use next Wednesday to get it done. The Ethics part is pretty much okay, just need to break down what I have in to 3 answers.
Am looking for another job again and possibly looking at moving from car sales in to Recruitment Consultancy only because I want 9-5 Monday to Friday but has downside of no company car. Started looking properly today and have had calls about car sales job, one of which could be quite interesting.
