Yeah I am, I've been out since late May.
Geography was boring. I don't think I learnt anything new... I'm gonna look at my Psychology stuff. I need to know 72 studies in detail (or 36 if I want to take the risk)
no i don't wanna know how much work i have to do for pyschology next year. D:Making a case
How psychology can inform the investigative process
Interviewing witnesses
• Recognising and recreating faces by E-fit (eg Bruce 1988); I know something about this
• Factors influencing accurate identification (eg the ‘weapon focus’ effect, eg Loftus); One of the studies I know almost fully.
• The cognitive interview (eg Geiselman 1985/6). Doesn't sound familiar...
Interviewing suspects
• Detecting lies (eg Vrij 2000); Sounds familiar...
• Interrogation techniques (eg Inbau); Maybe...
• False confessions (eg Gudjohnsson 1992). Sounds familiar again.
Creating a profile
• Top down typology (eg Hazelwood); I don't know much on this.
• Bottom up approaches such as circle theory or geographical profiling (eg Canter); I know a couple of things on this, but the last exam used this already so I won't have to focus as much.
• Case study (eg John Duffy). I slightly know this, but not much.

It doesn't help, but thanksMy friend was freaking out today because she had an English exam. She said I should take her exam because i'd do better than her, even though i've read nothing on what she's doing...
After a guilty verdict
To look at how psychology can inform the penal system
Imprisonment
Planned behaviours once freed from jail. (eg factors affecting recidivism Gillis et. al. 2005); Sounds familiar...
Depression/suicide risk. (eg Dooley 1990); I know little on this.
The prison situation and roles (eg Haney & Zimbardo 1998, 25 years since the Stanford Prison Experiment). I know something, but not in a lot of detail.
Alternatives to imprisonment
Probation (eg Prison Reform reports, Smith Institute report 2007); I think I know something on this.
Restorative justice (The Smith Institute reports and Cambridge University 2007); I'm not entirely sure.
Looking Death worthy, (Eberhart et al U.S. death penalty). I know the simple things like the method and results, but not full detail.
Treatment programmes
Cognitive skills programmes (eg Friendship et al 2002); I know select details, but not much.
Anger management (eg Ireland 2000); Same as above.
Using ear acupuncture with a drug rehabilitation program (eg Wheatley (2005) FOCUS program with ear acupuncture, Cambridge University Institute of Criminology). I know pretty much everything about this study.
I tried, but we're both really confused. So, win.
It may be extremely difficult, but a C is 50%. Maybe less. I'm aiming for a B, so that's 60%. Isn't an A something like 95% in the USA?
Isn't it like 1 AM where you are?
Anyway. In the US, at least in dirty jersey...
F = 0-64
D = 64 - 70
C = 70 - 74
C+ = 75 - 79
B = 80 - 84
B+ = 85 - 89
A = 90 - 94
A+ = 95-100
But my lovely school likes to make it so that:
A = 92 - 100
B = 85 - 91
C = 77 - 84
D = 71 - 76 [I think?]
E = 0 - 70
Yeahhh.
my high school was like the second list you posted, except we had an F instead of an E.
My university's grading scale is:
A=90-100
B=80-89
C=70-79
D=60-69
F=0-59
So where I could get an A at my school, you'd get a D at your school? Wow! That really sucks... It is 1:00 over here, but i'm on study leave.
