very true and good to know....was bit worried and still learning to navigate...my partner chats on a similar site but its just for radio control nerds (sorry - 'enthusiasts')....he gets a bit addicted but he likes to read more than he likes to post....he's like me i guess (bit shy and can't be...

well "schmo" means (apparently) the complete opposite of who i really am (and strive to be)....i'm not stupid or obnoxious and contrary to the Yiddish definition for the original word 'shmuck' i don't have a penis and am no fool! i actually chose this name as my partner and i have nicknamed...

oh gee thanks clairegirl....yeah i'm not old but i do sometimes feel a bit weird at uni....i mean i know i am like 10-15 years older (arrggghhhhh) than some of you guys but thankfully i've been told (really!) that i don't look it (coz i'm eurasian and tiny - 5'3" about 160cm).... it's hard to...

so lovely - feels like a great big supportive hug from afar - thank you! and yes most definitely that is what is motivating me - the thought of getting through it and NOT failing and NOT repeating (bit like avoiding punishment)...that said, if it's not gonna happen then yep round 2 might see me...

hi iambored i'm still getting the hang of reading through these threads, and trying to suss out the etiquette and flow of it all, it's a bit like a very long, drawn out conversation that lots of people can jump in and out of, moments can be easily lost and it ends up a bit weird....doesn't help...

i heard about BOS through google....i was feeling sooo lost (over PSY222 of course!) so i typed in something random like 'help with PSY222' and it appeared as one of the links.... no chance of being getting addicted to BOS though, i have enough addictions already! (coffee, kettle chips, those...

Hi Steve, thanks for the reassurance with that infor about 90% of psych students similarly suffering with stats, that definitely helps. And to think a couple of decades ago you could just do a BA major in psych and in 3 years then hang out a shingle and call yourself a psychologist and any type...

PSY237....eeek i still have nightmares about that one - did it last year and BARELY passed (ie got 50!!!) thanks Talkie Toaster for your input into this thread - it is all helping reassure me am struggling with assignment 2 but seems from the MQ discussion board for 234 so are a lot of people...

hi clairegirl and boink boink, seems we're all having no fun with assignment 2....if it's any consolation to you guys, it took me 2.5 hours to get my head around using SPSS :( i just had no idea for ages! thankfully now i've managed to answer questions 1,2 and 5 but am a little lost of...

cyan - thank you so very much for making the time and effort with this post...it is absolutely just what I needed to hear....and you have restored my faith in myself as I had been thinking along those lines - cheat sheet, past papers, sitting the optionals. i will definitely sit the second one...

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread! hey anybody else suffer from drastic PMS weight gain? seems i am one of those unlucky ones who gains 2-3kg every period including the days leading up to it....too much info I know! but it is depressing when you hop on the scales and find you've...

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread! hi guys....this thread is far more interesting than my plea for PSY222 help :sleep: okily dokily here's my stats for anyone who's remotely interested: 1) How many kilos (approx) to get down to ideal weight? 2kgs. i'm 5'3" tall (about 160cm I...

Thanks for the welcome Asylum, clairegirl and boinkboink. i am only doing PSY222 and PSY234. I didn't do the optional, just didn't feel ready for it - hope it was the right decision....i saw on WEBCT discussions that some people found it hard, some said it wasn't like the ereserve past papers...

Hi all....i'm a newbie to this site and the whole forum thing so forgive me if this is not the right etiquette...anyway i am (obviously) a 2nd year psych student doing PSY222 and really hoping there is a 3rd or 4th year psych student who might be willing and able to give me (and fellow PSY222...
