lol I'm in the same boat, I sat and stared at this screen all day yesterday in between shuffling notes around and so far today I've written half the introduction

if you find a solution please let me know too

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 14:11

What is your question can I do it for you?

OP posts:
FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 14:31

I dunno.. you're welcome to have a go

Malthus proposed that three ?positive checks? act to keep population in line with resources in the long-term. With respect to one of Malthus? three positive checks, evaluate the evidence that this phenomenon does act to regulate population growth in the long-term.

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 14:32

On the other hand I'll do mine
'Resource implications are recognised'

Yours sounds a bit deep

OP posts:
FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 14:38

lol

It's not deep, just deadly dull.. basically I have to show why disease regulates population growth with reference to economical consequences.. so I'm thinking malaria or aids in sub-saharan africa or maybe tuberculosis in south-east asia.. god it's soo dreary and I don't wanna do it!

I wouldn't have a clue about yours

say you are going to do it for just half an hour and set a timer. If you work solid for half an hour you are allowed a treat like wine or chocolate or going outsied or MN.

Now - start now. See you at 3.15

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 14:42

Both of us?

Come one FatbellyJones off we go

OP posts:
BBBee · 03/02/2008 14:42

FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 14:43

FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 15:17

how u doing katy?

I finished my intro and started on the main body.. about 350 words so far

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 15:20

Only 217 for me - but I did a table too (which doesn't count)

Congratulations

How 'bout you BBBee?

OP posts:
FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 15:23

I already had about half the intro done so i didn't manage all those words in half an hour, lol

a table would take me forever.. I'm so glad I don't have to do those

how you getting on bbbee?

FatBellyJones · 03/02/2008 15:30

right.. back here again at 4 o'clock?

BBBee · 03/02/2008 15:30

oooh - I got a bit carried away and did an extra 15 mins!

I have been tweaking my methodolgy and it is confusing but is slowly becoming less so. Am going to flit about on here for ten minutes and have a coffee and then try again - how about you?

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 15:34

Yep

KatyMac · 03/02/2008 15:47
