This module tends to be quite overwhelming with regards to the volume and technicality of the theory.  Psych Online Tutors has attempted to debunk, simplify and summarise the theory to be more “user-friendly”.  The notes for this module consist of colourful A2 mind maps (theory) and a booklet that includes exam questions from the past 5 years and model answers.  The challenge with this module is that you never know which area the examiners will cover.  Therefore, Psych Online Tutors has attempted to cover as many of the options as possible, and it is up to you how you wish to go about studying for the exam.
