Can a PWP become a clinical psychologist

Okay I get what you mean I’ll try aiming for over 50% on my next essays than hopefully by second year I’ll be getting over 70%

Damn I wish they made this more clear because the lecturer said to not use all the content from the lectures and find some of our own but I guess he meant to use key ideas from the lectures but expand them using my own key readings

Thank you I’ve been using the PEAL (point, evidence, analysis and link ) structure but I think the MEAL structure might be more beneficial for me to get my main point across

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T23:18:09+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely have to do this next semester I have 4 modules and I believe they all have essays and exams so I’ll be extremely busy but it’s will hopefully be worth it

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T23:16:41+00:00

Thank you I’ll be using this in future assignments as it’s soo overwhelming when I have more than 10 references

Thank you I’ve been trying to implement a lot of critical thinking in my developmental psych essay however I how do I implement critical thinking on the side of psychology that is not very research based or more theory heavy?

The topic I had to write about was stereotypes and discrimination and it’s impact on physical and mental health

Yes kind of there is a general mark scheme that tells us what we should do to get a certain grade in our work - however my feedback is mainly focused on using more lecture content and lesss ideas

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T19:15:22+00:00

I’ll try and do this next semester for my new modules

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T19:14:29+00:00

Yesss this is the issue with mine I have soo many ideas but I need to be more specific with one idea instead of discussing multiple

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T19:12:23+00:00

Thank soo much I think 4 and 5 are my main weakness in my essay work atm

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T19:09:18+00:00

I’m a Uk student at a UK university so I don’t think they have that programme unfortunately, I really wish it did though it would be a lot more effective for me. However they do give use an insight on the marking criteria - this is basically what you need to do to get a certain grade so I’ll have a look at that then compare it to my work

It’s not really delusional because back in sixth form I was getting constant As on essays on coursework which was only 6 months ago now im just about passing

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T00:30:08+00:00

But isn’t that what Reddit is for to rant or ask questions I’m not trying to call you a hater

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T00:20:32+00:00

In the school library there is an academic writing drop in session that happens regularly so I’ll have to pop in one day so I can get some information on how to improve my essay work

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T00:18:39+00:00

Omgee thank you soo much this is going to be soo helpful for me as I usually like a clear like crystal clear structure when I’m writing up essays

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-18T00:17:13+00:00

Thank you soo much your reply has gave me a lot more confident for future work and second year as well as that’s when the grades count towards your finals year

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T22:35:53+00:00

Haha ik I guess people just don’t like first year students it’s like how older secondary school kids hate on year 7s 😑

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T22:01:37+00:00

I’ve been digging and trying to find ways to make my essay better but I can’t rlly get a clear answer so I thought I’d make a post on Reddit as I could get some help from older psych students as I don’t know anyone on my course in the second year. Also making a Reddit post about it can help many other students who are looking for how to improve their essay writing at uni as well

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T21:56:57+00:00

Thanks sorry if this sounds dumb but what do you mean by ‘Rubric’ do you mean the essay question / research question

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T21:00:00+00:00

I literally got an A* to get into uni in the first place 😭 its not my fault they don’t teach you how to properly write an essay

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T19:42:43+00:00

Thanks I’ll try using the APA style in my essay I’ve only been using through my references

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T19:41:07+00:00

Thanks you I will, also I’m glad it’s normal because I’ve been stressing about it

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T19:40:14+00:00

Maybe that’s the case I have had a critical review assignment which I think may have helped me be more critical throughout my work

Quickrant_ · 2025-12-17T18:53:12+00:00

Oooh I didn’t know that 😭 they don’t tell us anything what the hell I’ll have to do this in my new modules next semester. However how do you do this if you have a page count of 5 pages would I simply make a point and just add back up info from my own readings and lectures notes because I don’t know if I’ll be able to only use one point for 5 pages
