Choosing your own optional Units? CYPOP
Hi All,
I have another question, not sure if i'm being dopey or not but I have been advised by my assessor to do the following optional units: CYPOP4 CYPOP 14 CYPOP 15 CYPOP 22 CYPOP 30 The only unit in my Penny Tassoni Children and Young Peoples Workforce book is the CYPOP 4, the book stops at CYPOP 7. I know I can get the information from other sources, but I like to use this book as a guide for content in my work. Can anyone advise if these units are covered in another book etc and if so what it is called, if not I shall just start and use other sources. Many thanks :) |
Have you not chosen your own optional units?
only one of mine was in the same handbook you have and i must admit i was a little worried about not having the initial guidance of what to look at and think about to write my work but i think it's useful to use other places for research and your assessor can advise you on what content to include if u are not sure, i wouldn't let it put you off not doing those units because they are not in the book. Go for them and use other sources. it will help you get different ideas and not rely on one particular book for support. People on here can help with ideas if you get stuck later on when u get to ur optional units :) |
Hi NatNoodles,
I didn't choose my units - they were given to me - I found all the info I needed by googling, and looking here. |

i chose my own and i did cypop 4, 6,15 and 30, i found cypop 15 the hardest unit but having said that i was also lucky has i had worked along side SALT, if you need any support on your optionals give me a shout and good luck x |
I think It depends on how lucky you are with your tutor Lyn, my group was told at the beginning we could choose, especially as we all worked in different areas - SEN, Early Years, KS1 and KS2, but then suddenly we had been given our optional units and when we queried it we were told they tied in with our area of work (ha! ha! they didn't but they did appear to tie in with our tutors areas of expertise!). In a weird and crazy way I'm kind of glad because there are things I definitely would not have chosen but somehow managed to complete so I think I now have a broader knowledge. But the advice I would give is push to be allowed to chose your options if your tutor tries to chose them for you because so much of this is knowledge based.
p.s. Lyn - thanks for all your posts - very helpful and supportive. |
the text book is just a guide it has the bare minimum info ion and our college actually bans the use of quotes from it as it is the very least you should read. at A level you should be getting used to researching and using other sources for your work not just a text book

Hi
I'm new to cypw and have been told to choose my optional unit's. Can anyone tell me where i find them all, as there only 7 in my book.And how many do we have to do? think i recall my assessor saying 4. (Probably just wishful thinking) Any help would be great. Thanks for info i have gathered for unit 25,68 so far. |
i have done 4 optional units, CYPOP 13, 14, 15 and 30. i'd advise not to CYPOP 15! it's a nightmare!
