DD101 Introducing the Social Sciences - Course Materials - Books, CDs, MAP & TMA

Now that the Course materials have arrived it is all feeling very real, but as the course does not start until the end of January, a bit remote as well.


I have flicked through the assignemnet booklet and the first two TMAs are covering areas I know nothing about and have never given much thought to. So it should be a fairly steep and challenging learning curve completing these assignments.

The first part of the third assignment looks to be about manipulating and understandiong statistics which is far more in my comfort zone, so much so that I have started entering the data on to a spreadsheet in advance. The second part is a bit less familiar - so a lot of reading to be done.

So between work and Christmas/New Year te plan is to get as far ahead of the study plan early, to allow for time management problems later on.......

How many TMAs were there for this course? We're they due in every month?

There were 6 TMAs and 1 EMA, so 7 essays in total, about 6 weeks apart.
