I *think* the SU have a grinds file with a list of people offering them. Best bet would be to contact the education officer. Putting up signs looking for them would probably help too though.
Oh and SS please dont associate Hugh Gough with the lyrics board... he's far too fabulous and intellectual for that! 0 -

Discuss.
In arguing that Prof. Hugh Gough is a great lecturer, one is immediately drawn to cite his charismatic lecturing style as his greatest asset. Gough possesses the rare ability to draw humour from the most mundane of topics and effortlessly caters to his audience, being both interesting as well as informative. His status is lent further gravitas by the reputation which preceeds him, students have heard about him before they've ever had the pleasure of attending a lecture.
Another of Gough's great attributes is his 'pulling power'. Not only is he masterful in that he can capture your attention while in the lecture theatre, but knowledge of how great he is a bound to be can compel you to attend a lecture that you otherwise would've sat out over in Hilpers or at The Wall.
Gough speaks in clearcut and measured notes, meaning that you not only hear every word but have time to take it down. His lectures display a clean thought process of important points surrounded by explanatory information which is easy for the listener to grasp and finally, his 'Terror in the French Revolution' is a small text quick wont break any studen't back or bank.
However, those who approach the Gough question for essays and exams must beware. A trade off to being a great lecturer means that Prof. Gough will expect you to have gleened your basics from lecture material and thus be well armed to do futher reading and make detailed, insightful arguments. While this is ostensibly fair, students the Arts block over and known to prefer subsisting on a diet of lecture notes gleaned and photocopied from some spotty nerd who bothered to attend. Thus remember, Gough is for life, not just for Christmas exams.
****, so below word count....gonna fail this one.

..... spends all her day In the Library. " working " talking to everyone on MSN and writing Vainglory's essay on The Gough. Hackman dont be like Elmo. Just because you are IN the library dosnt actually mean your going to do something.
Oy you! I take a bit of offence to that. I've done 600 words of an essay that's not due for another week in between my msn ramblings. Multitasking dear, it's a girl thing.

Elmyra..
This is clearly a well-researched essay, with a mature and considered approach.
However, you have shown little or no evidence of further reading on the subject. I might suggest the classic text, "I Was On A 2:1 And Gough's Exam Scuppered Me", by A. Student (Oxford, 2002) for your studies before the exam.
Also, please consult the department guidelines on footnotes.
I did particularly like your reference to the spotty nerd. We all need one of those.
60%.
Heh, cool. A 2:1 for 15 minutes work, sch-wing! *thinks Vainglory is best tutor ever * 0 -

I cant talk Im stil in bed. Anyway Hackman probably best if you avoid Elmyra at all costs lest you get dragged down into Libro-cyberspace. Also avoid me lest you get pulled into my bed bacause I havnt seemed to be able to get out of it in days0 -

If it's the historiography one, I hate you. I've spent the last hour looking through those bloody online books to find the shortest one out of the lot of them.
Hackman, welcome to boards. History is great and we really do love it, even though we bitch about it a lot. If I was in first year again I'd apply for pure history too.0 -
