. Eh... You can get a Masters in Disability Studies (well, the passmark must surely be below 60%) just by drinking coffee and writing one good essay on one of these topics, or getting a pal to compile it for you? -- and obviously without needing to attend any boring lectures, working on a prescribed reading list about DS, taking a course on how to find information in the modern world, or any tiresome kinda textually-fixated- european-male suffering like that? What brand of coffee is it, anyway? m99m > >Subject: In need of advice > I was hoping you could give me some advice on which one I would have the best chance of finding information on and what would be beneficial for me to learn more about. I have to write 3500 words and it is worth 60% of my marks....this scares me a little! I have to choose one of these topics. > >1) 'A disability implies a non-problematic pathological condition intrinsic to the individual; it fails to recognise that the concept of disabilitiy is socially constructed'. Discuss this statement. > >2) Psychology has had an important impact on how we understand disabilitiy. Indeed the psychological test has been used extensively to identify problems and legitimate action. Discuss this statement, locating your response in a particular historical era. > >3) Policy documents are texts that are interpreted by school administrators, teachers and parents. With direct reference to a particular policy, discuss how it has been implemented in a particular educational setting. What tactics and strategies have been used? In what ways have they been enabling or disabling? > >Any advice you could give me would be very appreciated. Let me know if you prefer to meet for a coffee and go over anything. ______________________ ________________End of message______________________ Archives and tools for the Disability-Research Discussion List are now located at: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research.html You can JOIN or LEAVE the list from this web page.
