Gahhhh first assessment stress!!!
Posted October 30th 2013 at 04:43 PM by LlamaLlamaDuck
Spent the past 2-3 hours trying to do my first assignment for Introducing the Social Sciences.
I'm watching the DVD again (3rd time now, and I've read the transcript for it) and it's getting me nowhere.
I mean. It's on Winners and Losers. And the one example I have is the same event that affects two people making one a winner and one a loser. I have other examples of losers. But no more winner examples and certainly none that are connected like I did with the first one.
I want to make my examples connected for the sake of consistency.
But if I decide to make them not connected I lose my first example because that IS connected.
Unless I do something like "Not all events on City Road create both winners and losers. Local takeaways disposing of their leftover oil down the drains means that the fat congeals in the sewers, leading to local council workers having to clear the blockages created by the congealed fat, so nobody 'wins' in this situation, especially those affected by sewage leaks caused by the backup of fat."
But that doesn't make a lot of sense!
I really don't want to fail my first assessment, I need 40% to scrape a pass, but I'm aiming for a B (70%-84%)
Please GOD let it get easier after the first one. PLEASE let this just be inexperience/nerves!
