Just lately I’ve spent so much time in the library that I might as well move my bed in there and be done with it (welcome to third year!). I was in there the other day (second floor yellow zone, obviously) staring out across Leicester’s very orange skyline, trying to ignore the fact that everyone […]

My January exam results came out on February 10th but I know that some subjects have only very recently received theirs, so I think what I’m about to say is relevant to many. I’m not going to lie, but I wasn’t expecting great things from my PS3002: Brain and Cognition exam (I wrote about […]

Yesterday we didn’t have our Clinical Lecture because of a commitment that involved all our lecturers. They decided to call this “Reading Week”, which to be honest only meant we didn’t have two hours of lectures. Not much. Reading Week is something I’ve heard about since I came to university, but never really experienced. In […]

I’m pleased to report that despite my struggles with the library website last weekend, the book I ordered duly turned up. Having just taken a quick peek it seems rather useful, so I suppose I’d better get on with reading it now! However, at the end of this week there’s the annual course conference taking […]

Last weekend saw me submit the second and final assignment for the Personnel Selection and Assessment (PSA) module. I can’t say that I’m sorry to see the end of this module (I’m not!), but I’m cautiously optimistic that I’ll get a reasonable grade for it having had a very pleasing result on the first assignment. […]

As I wrote just before Christmas, I’m now working my way through the second module of the Occupational Psychology MSc – Personnel Selection and Assessment. I also appear to be on track as far as my own personal schedule is concerned, having read through and made copious notes on the module materials, suggested readings and […]

Unlike school, when revision for exams involved reading over classroom assignments and learning information given to me by my teacher, university exams involve a great deal more independence. When our exams are marked, to achieve a high grade, lecturers expect to see evidence of wider reading. One area I have been taught about this year, […]
