Reflections on DD101

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.
