DSE212 TMA01 Submitted

Okay, I know that the submission was due at midday today but I have only just submitted it and in the past it hasn't been an issue. The topic for part 1 was not really my cup of tea, it was about identity which was broached upon in DD101 and ED209 although in quite different ways. I get the feeling it is a rather central theme in Psychology so I guess that I am going to have to get to grips with it. I picked the psychosocial to compare against and maybe wish I hadn't as I think SIT would have been a better alternative. The psychosocial perspective appears a little warped which makes comparisons hard. The ethical part of it was interesting and the study involved was rather interesting especially when you google the real experiment and read in to it further.

On to TMA02 now and I have already highlighted the chapters which are relevent although I haven't quite decided which to do. I initially though that biological psychology would be the way to go as it deals with disorders however after ready the chapter on evolutionary psychology, I am quite interested in it. Think I might just start on the statistics side of it today whilst I watch two and a half men (the Charlie Sheen version, the new one is rubbish) and anything else on Comedy Central.

I am not working at the moment although being paid up till 30th November and although I was have my own crisis, I think I am going to have to go back in to the motor industry (kicking and screaming) for the money aspect. I really fancied doing something challenging but think job hunting is too hard right now and that for a while I should stick to what I know.
