Hello 😊 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! Truly delighted for you. You don't achieve an A* without a tremendous amount of work, so hat's off to you! I'm so glad that the channel was able to help you along the way. 😊 If possible I'd like to ask you a few more questions about your A* - would you mind dropping me an email to [e-mail]?

Where does free will fit into the whole nature vs nurture debate? According to free will believers, nature vs nurture is a meaningless debate since you can just materialize whatever you want in life through "positive thinking", "taking risks", and "working hard".

[@BearitinMIND]

For the purposes of the video series on the issues and debates in psychology, free will & determinism are treated as a separate debate. However, to answer your question 'nature' would be an example of biological determinism and 'nurture' could be an example of environmental determinism.

I don't understand evaluation when it comes to issues & debates. Am I evaluating the debate as a whole or am I finding evaluation which supports each side of the debate?

Good question - working on a resource that will hopefully be out in a few weeks that deals with this, but in short the essay questions in the exam are worded in an exam that ask you to "Discuss [insert debate e.g. nature -nurture debate]". So your AO3 marks come from having a discussion - this can mean evidence that supports or challenges that view, but it can also mean the value/usefulness of that debate, or the negative implications of that debate etc. Hope that helps a little.
