DSE212 Notes

Six chapters of notes from the DSE212 February 2007 presentation.

Please note that this module was revised by the OU in 2008 (when what had been book 3 (Applying Psychology) was turned into a standalone 15 credit course, DSE232). So for current students these notes may not be all that helpful!


Book 1 – Mapping Psychology

Chapter 5 – Personality: Individual Differences

Chapter 6 – Perception and Attention

Chapter 8 – Memory

Chapter 9 – Psychoanalytic and Humanistic Perspectives

Book 2 – Challenging Psychological Issues

Chapter 1 – Lifespan Development

Chapter 4 – Consciousness

    thank you so much for the wonderfully organised notes. i know you say that these are old notes from 2007 and before. i just wondered though at the time of writing your notes was there not a chapter on three approaches to learning, it is chapter 3 of the present DSE212.
    thanks

    Thanks for the comment – hope you find the notes useful.

    I’m really not sure if there was something on learning – there may well have been something like that! However, my big mistake when taking DSE212, which was the first OU course I took for the psychology degree, was not to start making notes until very late on in the process. Given the amount of time I had for revision, I decided to try to strategically pick chapters to go back over and revise.

    I was lucky – my questions came up – but it could have gone horribly wrong.

    Thank you very much for these notes. I am currently revising for DSE212 and finding both chs 5 and 6 hard!

    Thank you so much, I have major health issues and can’t concentrate for long because of medication but you have made this so much easier for me.

    Hi Nicola,

    Just click on the “Chapter n” (blue) links on this page. You should see a PDF appear when you do.

    This is fantastic thank you, my notes are atrocious but your layout looks like it could work for me. Also scares me a little as to how organised you were!
