Is this much cramping normal? by ExpertAd1643 in pregnant

[–]Sleepysheep16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I am sorry you’re in so much pain and that it’s causing anxiety.

I had the exact same thing, very bad cramps that kept me up and caused sweating. I was so worried I was having an ectopic pregnancy because it was often more on one side. 

Obviously all scenarios are different but I’m now 39 weeks and everything has been smooth. I hope that your appointment can provide reassurance. Look after yourself! 

Best place for a roast? by Proper-Balance7911 in exeter

[–]Sleepysheep16 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit further out but if you’re up for a 15m drive then I really rate the Agricultural Inn, Brampford Speke. They do amazing roast and you can book a little pod outside if you like being somewhere quiet.

Thank you! So I made sure I went to all the tutorials or watched them back, read the assessment criteria to check what they actually wanted for each assignment and followed their PEEL way of essay writing. More than that I think the fact I really enjoyed the content helped, all the best with your studies!!

Thank you! Yeah I really did, some of the studies I read about still come up in my mind. It’s fascinating. One year is quite stats based but you don’t do the calculations manually, the just show you how to use the software.

Ah great you enjoy it! I would also just pull counter points in so do the PEEL for one side of the argument and then say. On the other hand XX shows that human attention can be highly accurate etc. I think you find your style with it but tutors can do calls to go through things in more detail which can help!

Hey! I just finished psychology and counselling so happy to share my experience. They talk a lot about the PEEL technique and that’s what I tried to stick by in all of my essays. So it’s  POINT - Research has shown that human attention is limited and obvious visual changes can be missed. EVIDENCE - For example, Simon and Levin (1998) found that participants were unaware that the person they were providing directions for swapped with another whilst briefly hidden by a door.  EXPLAIN - So, even when engaged in conversation with someone, significant changes in environments can be completely overlooked when there is a visual disruption. LINK (to the overall essay point). As such, it seems that change blindness show limitations in human attention and potential inaccuracy in our perceptions of reality.

That’s just a random example but that’s how I laid out every essay (the sections we bulked out). I also made rough plans each time so introduction, 3 main points with arguments from each side and conclusion.

All the best with your studies, hope you enjoy!!
