DSE212 Revision Weekend

13th -15th May 2011: University of Warwick

OUPS have been running Revision Weekends for OU psychology students for nearly 40 years, so we know from experience exactly what students want in order to give them the knowledge and skills, as well as the confidence, to improve their exam grades. Because the DSE212 exam takes place in June, as opposed to October for the other psychology courses, we have set up a special revision weekend for this course, which will take place in the middle of May, approximately 4 weeks before the exam - just the right timing to get motivated and start off your own revision! It will be of benefit to all students who are studying DSE212.

Aims of the DSE212 Revision Weekend

A weekend of lectures which aim to aid revision and improve students’ chances of increasing their final grade.

What does the weekend offer?

This revision weekend offers a full programme of nine talks, running from Friday evening until Sunday tea time. As well as covering revision of all the exam chapters and key issues and themes, the sessions also give advice on revision techniques and how to tackle the exam, as well as providing a comprehensive set of handouts to support your own revision sessions. If you have a specific problem you would like to discuss there is also the opportunity of a one-to-one session with a ‘floating’ tutor. In addition it is a chance to meet up with other students studying your course.

Feedback from past students has underlined the value of having several different tutors on revision courses, giving you the benefit of a range of specialised knowledge and advice, and offering you a variety of complementary styles of tutoring to keep you focused. All the tutors at our weekend are highly experienced and include course writers and exam markers. .

• Professor Frederick Toates
• Dr Graham Edgar
• Dr Graham Mitchell
