You will have spent a long time on your essays, familiarising yourself with an area to exam-level detail. Fortunately, you only have to do an essay per course for coursework. Unfortunately, for exams you need to know lots more. One shortcut to familiarising yourself with all this other material is to read each others essays.
Last year many of the Level 3 psychologists compiled their essays on an online hub. Essays were uploaded along with the mark they got, any important comments made by the marker and without any identifying information.
The beauty of this is that you can quickly use the legwork done by others to get to a good level of understanding. In addition, you should be able to improve your own communication skills by noting in others what is effortless to read and what is horrible.
It's a great little resource and last year's was very successful but its power rests on you lot uploading your essays. To do this, first, remove your name from the doc, add your mark in a nice fat font size at the top (plus any marker comments you deem necessary), make sure the document is saved with the essay question in the file name and then head here to MediaMax and enter these details :
After this navigate your way to right folder, or create your own if I have left one out, and upload.
Do make an effort to upload guys and gals, we all found it was a great thing to have last year...

hello to you o mysterious and rather wonderful brain milk person. are you able to post the username and password for last years hub as well? that would be amazing!
And hello to you lovely reader.
This is something I am working on.
After exams I was a bit too keen on getting rid of everything. I threw away the web address and password for the hub. Silly me.
Now, I am tracking down the girl who set it up to get the details back. When I've found her I'll put a new post up.
So I have written to her but nothing back yet. Keep all your fingers crossed please...
hey thanks for sorting out last years essay so fast
