Jesus Christ seriously?!?! Why don't they tell us this? I'm about 300 pages in. Takes me ages to read it too. Great. Between this complete lack of communication and the laughable organisation of the Vikings class (1 copy of each book in the library, if any, and obligatory trips to the museum with only 2 days notice)... just me, or are they actually trying to make 3rd year even harder for us?

Did ye get the Culture and Society reading? Got it there, just wanna make sure it's correct.
'Style and medium in the motion pictures', by Erwin Panofsky...?
Bout 20 f*cking pages, blehhhh
Any of it actually worth reading?
incidentally, I'm totally lost in that course... Feel like I have a good enough handle on Vikings, but the tutorials are just going over my head in the culture&society one..0 -
None of the Society and Culture stuff was worth reading... what a load of bollocks! Also wasn't necessary to read it, as we just watched a video in the class.
Finally my laziness has been rewarded by the way! I should probably start reading my chapter of the Kitchen book

How do I get into your seminar?! What was the video about? Anything good?
We had to talk about the notes in our one unfortunately. Not the most riveting 45 minutes or so.
Things look set to get pretty hectic in history the next fortnight with all these essays due. 0 -

My seminars are at a secret place and time
The video was just about Sergei Eisenstein. It was alright... I was actually nodding off during it, which was kind of embaressing cos there was only about 6 of us in the class and Prof Devlin could easily see me The seminar bore not relation to the lecture nor the readings though Well, VAGUELY, because he's a film director -- that's about it. 0 -

Oh right I was thinking maybe you got to watch a cool video on the Nazis or something.
At least we don't have seminars next week though what with it being a reading week and all. I least I think that's the situation...0 -
Well if they're on, I aint goin to them that's for sure!
God I have so much bloody work to get done
Maths assignment due tomorrow... really difficult and I have not started it really. lol. Will do so shortly.
Have to read and analyze some notes from another class that I am struggling in, so that I can get some help from the professor.
Have to read the book on the Vikings, and the chapter/s on Europe, then write the essays.
And finally I have an essay due for my psychology elective. Thankfully that's not due til November.
Oh and I have less than 2 weeks to do a programming assignment.
BALLS TO YOUR UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But more importantly -- F*CKING BALLS TO MY JOB!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Ugh, in again tomorrow night. Thankfully I have the weekend free... to... READ AND WRITE ESSAYS!!!0 -

I feel that I'm learning less with the current format tbh. We don't seem to cover as much (certainly in the Vikings module) material, and that which we do cover is quite vague to be honest. It seems the intention is for us to do our 'fact learning' by reading the textbook (as opposed to previous years where the lecture is about the chronology of events really), which is fair enough really. The emphasis in stage 3 I guess is on 'being a historian', hence engaging with primary sources and being encouraged to think about different readings.
I guess I prefer this format to be honest. It's alot less intense, and I feel like I'm actually doing something different to merely memorizing facts, as I've been doing since secondary school. However if they're going to do it this way then it might be worthwhile messing around with the ratio for each aspect of the course, so that there's more awarded for the seminars. What is it now, 10%? Not much of an incentive to do the reading and get thee to the class. 20% would be more like it
BTW,Yeah I may be in 2nd year, but still just asking:D
INTRUDER!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:0
