Other people’s notes:
Arnold has produced a really nice set of condensed revision notes for a strategically chosen set of chapters in this course – see: http://www.foreignperspectives.com/revision-notes/ (09-12-2009)
Congratulations on your blog!
I find your notes really useful.
Would you consider publishing your notes for DSE212?
Thanks
Hi Tim. just got here via the link on your posting in the ED2909 forum. Great to hear that someone else has got procrastinating down to a fine art! Just read your notes for Chap1 Bk2 – they’re great!
Hey Tim,
love the blog, love the notes for ED209. Well done and keep up the good work
Brilliant indeed Tim. The only problem we’re going to have with them is that you’ll only be doing notes on one of the book 4 options!
Arnold
Hi Tim,
Your notes are brilliant thanks!

Tim Sir…. You are an inspiration! Thank you for providing further distraction to my already rather chaotic study schedule. If you don’t mind, I shall be printing out your chapter summaries & perusing them with greatest pleasure over the next few days. I’m really loving your blog. Keep the anecdotes flowing – it’s all most refreshing.
Kate
You’re very welcome, Kate!
Tim.
Hi Tim,
Your notes are great. I am a little behind but due to the reason that I have just got back after getting married in Las Vegas- so still trying to plough through Chapter 1 of Book 2 . Very many thanks for you publishing these notes to assist others.
Finding it rather hard to keep up on this course anyway – not like DSE212.
Best wishes,
Karen
Tim, have come on here for the first time to read your notes on chapter 3 of book 2- they are fantastic.It has clarified so much of what i was struggling with. Can’t thank you enough.
Brilliant notes for ED209. Thanks for blogging them!!
Thank you very much, Tim

You are a darling, deserving a cuddle
I’m trying to gather as many notes as possible alongside mine, and your notes are the best.
Take care xx
Hi Tim,
You’re a life-saver when it comes to trying to organise thoughts that are all muddled up in preperation for an assignment. Many thanks for all your hard work!!

It just struck me seeing as the seen question has recently turned up that 80% of the people who’ve been turning up regularly at this page are going to be disappointed. Somehow I can’t see you having quite enough hours in the day to write up notes on all five topics!
Or, of course, we could all do whatever option you choose and thereby completely throw the OU come exam time
thanks for the note…they are brilliant…its all because of ur notes i pass my assignments
Hi, Please re-submit your notes on C.3/Book 3. I cannot access them and so far ALL of your notes have been invaluable. Many thanks
Hi Angela,
You can’t access them because I haven’t written them yet! Have a look at this blog entry and this one to see why.
Tim
Your notes are excellent Tim, thank you for sharing all your hard work with us. I for one truly appreciate it
Tim
I am grateful that there are people like you who can subsume vast amounts of material and produce it in a succinct form for altruistic distribution.
Hi Tim,
I can’t believe I have only just discovered your notes for ED209- they are fantastic!! I don’t suppose you have them for DSE212 by any chance? I know it’s cheeky but I have to ask!
I’ve no notes that will help anyone with DSE212 – I did it before the format of the course was changed in 2008. Good luck with the exam!
Just wanted to say you are a complete legend! Thank you so much you may have actually saved my exam. Thanks again!
This is so useful thank you very much. Well done for your contribution.
Tim, what can I say!!! life saver. I love you!!!!
Hi Tim
Many many thanks for your fantastic notes, what can I say except for thanking you for saving me another 2weeks of note taking before I can actually revise them. They are set out so well and understandble. Wish I knew this website existed before thank you once again you really are a hardworking star xxx
I say! Steady on!
Good luck for the 21st.
Tim.
Hi Tim,
I have used your notes to revise from and l wanted to thank you for saving me so much time.
A BIG thankyou.
Regards
Jane
Hi Tim, just to wish you all the very best for the 21st- have been reading the blog and also wish to thank you for notes which I have found a tremendous supplement to my own revision notes- they are a bit pathetic by comparison!
Kindest regards to all who have battled ED209…
J
Thank you so so much for all your hard work Tim – you really are a star!!!!
Your notes are brilliant and so easy to use – I have no excuses for not revising well now…..
All the best for your future,
Kind regards,

Thanks for sharing your fantastic notes!! where do you live? I’ll buy you a drink after the exam! Fran
Hi Tim,
My first visit to your site. What a pleasure and a treasure trove! So grateful for your willingness to share with us. Given that I was bereaved of any tutorial interaction (non existent in my area) it is a refreashing to have an ‘exchange of ideas’, albeit one-way since I’m not talented enough to produce such a master piece as yours.
Wishing you well and much success on the exam!
Barbara
Hi, Tim,
congrats on a superb body of work. I’d love to know your method, it looks much superior to mine which consists of:
1. skim read chapter for overview.
2. Read study guide for key concepts.
3. Write notes for chapter (Cornell method).
4. condense notes as much as possible for revision.
5. forget everything I’ve just done.
How you produce this quality of work and do your job at the same time, I can’t imagine.
Thank you.
good luck with the exam.
Chris Sutor.
p.s. I agree with you on the ‘mind-map’ thing; I find them useful only for analysing complexity. as a memory aid – useless.
Just found this site….
I think you have saved that day! for me anyway… I was in revision hell, this is such a life-line
Tim, thanks so much for sharing these fantastic notes. I have Erika Cox’s revision booklets but I keep coming back to yours . Good luck with the exam – if your notes, discipline and organisation are anything to go by, you’ll do extremely well!
Regards
Rainey
Hi Rainey,
Thanks for the encouragement! I’m also using Erika’s notes – I find the essay plans she provides and the notes on linking themes between chapters notes particularly useful.
Tim.
Really do appreciate the time you must have put into all this, and for graciously sharing.
I will donate.
Thank you
Thanks Hal – you’re very welcome. You can donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/timholyoake.
Tim.
HiTim,
You are a God- send for some like me who is unable to attend lectures often. Your notes are concise and to the point.Admire your good will. will donate.
Hi there Tim,
Fantastic of you to share your notes like this! I too admire your good will and I feel that your blogg is valuable to me and will aid alongside my Erika Cox revision pack when it comes to exam prep!
Thank you so much!
Regards, Kim x
You’re welcome, Kim. All the best for the remainder of the course (or should that be module?!)
Tim.
