Sorry for not posting in the last few weeks. I have to do several exams over the next 2 weeks and I am a little stressed. Yesterday I had my first online-test in the course Mental Disorders and I was very excited. Did I spent enough time with the Comer Chapter? What does my supervisor want to know from me? I was so excited that I somehow read the complete Chapter 5 again and during reading I was thinking - I have read this before?! Until I found out I did to much ... and then I was able to focus on the OCD part.
Well it turned out I was prepared! But somehow I got one answer wrong and I don´t know which one so I hope that I will get the information somehow. But to be honest ... that was a time period of 10 minutes for 15 multiple choice questions for a small amount of text/information. 9 pages and they consisted of knowlege about OCD. I am now a little afraid what is going to happen in the final assignment when I am to know everything. So I guess there will be a lot of reading and learning before the test and I hope that I can remember everything. But yet it is still very much fun participating in the course and I am still enjoying it. Specially because the subject has my intrest. And I do have to smile a lot when I think about the diffrent studies psychs have done over the last 100 years. I mean some of them were cruel but some of them were funny as well. I am still thinking about the little boy with the white rat and I am wondering if he was able to overcome his phobia with white fluffy things. I mean seriously - poor boy that is afraid of Santa!
hi yasmin,
ReplyDeleteI thought that you students should be able to see which items you got wrong in the test. this is not the case? not so good... so, in order to inform you, you got your error in the item:
All of the following have to be present in a person in order to be able to diagnose a Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, EXCEPT
Choose one answer.
a. great distress
b. interference of symptoms with daily functioning
c. symptoms which take up much time
d. the presence of obsessions and compulsions at the same time
where you clicked answer b., but it would have been answer d.
concering your result in this test I think you should not be worried too much about the final exam. sure, a lot more material to learn, but I can assure you - since I had already one running of the seminar - that the grades in the final exam do not differ significantly from the success in the "test exam" on OCD. and if it helps you to read everything you need to... I can live with that! :-)
so I hope that you will keep on enjoying the course, but first of all Santa is almost in front of our doors, so a good thing that you are not afraid of him!
