Anyone sitting OU DD307 exam tomorrow?

[lunchbox]

Just wondered if I was the only one bored to tears with revising.

What? Procrastinating on MN rather than looking at my notes? Nope. Not me.
I have even NC in honour...

It is v boring isn't it, and I still don't get Groups.

Roll on this time tomorrow! Good luck.

Glad it's not just me

Where are you taking exam?

I've given up for a bit before my head explodes. And staying well away from the Facebook page as it makes me panicky as everyone on there seems to know more than me!

Btw if you could explain to me exactly what an interpretive repertoire is, I'd be very grateful! ( I know it's something to do with discursive, but never quite figured it out properly)

Good luck to you both. I have SD329 on Monday and am really struggling with revision, not getting anywhere. I can't wait for it to be over!

Me too, this is my last course and then I've finished my degree, but have no enthusiasm for it any more.

Just can't wait for it to be over!

An interpretative repertoire is a term used in discourse analysis - if I talked to you about a "pushy mother" you would be able to access a "repertoire" of descriptions that describe the concept of a pushy mother. We would both share a lot of the descriptions and recognise them and in a conversation we could construct a shared meaning for the concept. You could develop a wonderful interpretative repertoire for "typical mumsnetter"!

Webwiz that's really helpful, thanks

Now can you explain to me what the difference between critical reflexivity and reflexivity is!

Erm no.

Actually I'll give it a shot,

Reflexivity is kind of linked to the self, we have reflexiveness of the mind so we can imagine how others see us. Or to look at an issue from another viewpoint.

Critical reflexivity is (I think) using an alternative viewpoint to critique a theory or type of methodology or approach. So a phenom approach may involve critical reflexivity of a soc cog approach, looking at how our lived experience is a more appropriate method of approaching an issue.

Oooh thats good

I think I am past the point of thinking anything useful, let alone verbalising it. Will you two come back tomorrow/Friday so we can compare how nice/nasty the questions were?! FWIW, I agree with both your definitions. I am just thankful I can spell interpretative repertoires. As for entitativity...

erm I'm not actually doing this exam mine's D844 on monday

Entitivity is when something is an entity in its own right, ie a group is a thing rather than a selection of individuals.

This is making me feel better!

Well it's all over finally!
How did you find it?

I don't think I answered the questions particularly well, but I did get alot of information down so hopefully that will count for something!

I'm sitting s216 tomorrow, nowhere near ready, not helped by spending half the day at the docs with dd who needed the nebulizer.

On the plus side.... Come 5.30 tomorrow I have 3 months study free, my first break since 2010

I sat it today hope you all did okay
not sure how I did..... oh well at least we got it done *

oops! sorry DD307 I mean and I was the same, wrote loads, not sure if it was any good, felt quite comfortable though, so there you go. Good luck to everyone else sitting exams for the open uni soon! that was my last one too! Yey, my degree is hopefully done, December cannot come quick enough, 6 years and a NVQ and a set of twins later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, it's over! Well done lunchbox and rodgette. And good luck SummerRain for tomorrow.

I thought it was ok. I wrote loads - over 6 pages for each - but while I think I answered the question, I don't think I was critical of the critical perspectives at all - whoops! I had it all in my notes, but for some reason got stuck in a 'cog social is bad, critical is good' mindset and didn't bring up any shortcomings of pheno/discursive...

Never mind. All done now thankfully

No more boring study! For a while at least .

Thanks IR.

Congrats to all those done already, especially rodgette... 2 years til I'm done with the degree, seems like eternity right now!

Am very that you have done your exam - not only is mine on Monday and so will ruin this weekend, its in the afternoon and so I won't know what to do with myself in the morning.

Done!

Not happy but at least it's over with.

Good luck on Monday webwiz

Thank you IR , worried now you wrote loads more than me, lol!
Keep going SR you will get there, Its like the three driving tests I took,its magic now I can drive my car officially!!! Im sure you have done well SR, I feel the same though, terrified of having to resit i think.
Webwiz, I spent lots of time revising (on ebay, I should say) best of luck for Monday! Monday night will feel great!
Have a great weekend all *

Well, rodgette, someone on the FB page says they wrote 32 pages . That can't be right, surely?! Unless they have VERY BIG handwriting! Apparently the exam paper is on the website now - I don't think I can face seeing it again.

lunchbox - I am hoping for positive marking. I can think of loads I didn't say, but I'm hoping all that I did get down will help .

webwiz, bet you feel better today! Hope it went well.

SummerRain - are we ever happy after an exam?! Hope you had a lovely weekend...

I'm glad its over with but I have lots of "I'll do that after my exam" things to do and I'm far too exhausted to do anything today!

I know that feeling webwiz... I've just spent the afternoon scrubbing the grout on my kitchen floor with a toothbrush as after months of half-assed floor mopping it was utterly disgusting.

Take a couple of days off though, I took the weekend for lazing around doing sod all and had so much energy yesterday to start tackling the mountain of 'after the exam' jobs
