Never found Gough to be too hard a marker. I did his France since 1945 course last year and managed to do pretty well in the essays. And that includes the one I rewrote in a day after my evil floppy disk ate the first one! He does expect wider reading but he always gives good tips for the exam so that isnt too hard to do since you can easily concentrate on just 3 topics.

Oh and the hard part isnt finding 3 historians that conflict with each other (though that was tricky). It's the damn 1000 word limit... Do we have to include the footnotes in that 1000 words? Since on the cover sheet it asks you too include them... It better not! Oh and apparently even though we're told to compare and contrast 3 historians we need to use more than 3 books. Which confuses me slightly.

Is it absolutely necessary to find loads of conflicting ideas? I mean..the question says COMPARE and contrast..

beanyb

They dont have to be totally conflicting, but I dont think they'd appreciate three of the exact same outlooks!

Riamfada

compare and contrast the on topicness of this thread?

Vainglory

True.

So, Hackman, what are your first impressions of UCD?
