Tim,
Oh my I can not thank you enough for these notes I have had so much going on in my life this year I had no idea how I was going to even start sorting revision notes, even contemplated deferring the exam, I may just pass this exam now THANK YOU
Hi Hilary,
You’re welcome. All the best for the exam!

Hi Tim
It’s taken me a while to get round to doing this, but I wanted to thank you for your 209 notes, they were very very helpful when I was preparing for my exam and helped me prioritise my subjects and develop precise revision tables for myself. This was the final module for me as I did my choices in an unusual order. Primarily this was because of exam fear; I much prefer course work. I sat my exam on 18/10/11 it was the first exam I’d sat since 1975. I got my result; a Pass 1 at 95% so the revision strategy worked. Thank you again. I have my BA with Hons and start my Masters in Childhood and Youth on Oct 2nd this year with the OU. I couldn’t have done it without your help
Janet
Hi Janet,
You’re very welcome. And 95% in an OU exan is amazing – really well done! Hope the masters goes well.
Tim.

You’re welcome! Good luck with the course.
Tim.
Tim you are a legend! These notes are great thank you so much, just one more question can I borrow your brain for the exam?!? Thanks
Hi Tim
Thank you so much for these notes. Another student friend gave me the link and I am so thankful and thank you for sharing!
Hi Sonia,
You’re very welcome. All the best for your exam.
Tim.
Thanks Tim,
I have next to no time to revise so your notes have become a real game changer!!
Hi Tim,
Your chapter summaries are great, and extremely useful. Would’ve struggled these past few days without them. Just a quick Q when to quote ‘w.r.t’ does that stand for ‘with reference to’?
Hi Saima,
I use w.r.t to mean with respect to or with reference to – so you’ve understood me ok! All the best for the exam.
Tim.
Thanks. Your notes are still being used and soooo helpful. I’ve learned to be more concise instead of rewriting the textbook.
Hi Michelle,
Glad they’re still useful – and all the best with the module. Apologies for not publishing your comment sooner but it appears that the anti-spam software I’m using was being a little over-zealous on Friday
Tim.
Hi Tim, Fantastic notes. Thank you. Do you have any idea what determines the final grade on ED209? Is it a straight 50/50 split between the exam and TMAs or is it the lower mark of the two? Im getting lost in the forum. Thanks again
Hi Pearl,
Thank you – you’re welcome. When I took ED209, the final grade given was the lower of the continuous assessment (OCAS) and exam (OES). However, it’s not quite that straightforward as the exam boards do have discretion to change where the boundaries lie in any particular year. So although I ended up with a grade 1 OCAS (87%) and a grade 2 OES (80%), I was still awarded a grade 1 pass overall for ED209.
Tim.
Hi Tim,
Thanks so much for sharing your notes Tim
I’m just about to start book 2.. I found it very difficult to consense all the info in book 1 but from now on I will be consulting your notes prior to making my own!!
