Brimmy · 2007-10-07 18:38:09

The core class on the Renaissance on Tuesday/Thursdays, whens the first essay due in for and what are the titles if they've been announced? Been out for the last 2 weeks and it's not in my blackboard so I can't even mail the lecturer.. Any help would be mucho appreciated.

I'm fairly certain they're open.

Is anyone doing they're document analysis on the Royal Commission of the Conditions of the Poorer Classes? If you do any good sources on Jstor save me the effort of looking? I'll be your friend if you tell me :P

hmm... Are the departments closed over the break? I might have to be reasonable and hand this Japan thing in late. Won't get anything worthwhile done on time... But... if there's no way to hand it in...

alternatively; anyone got any good online sources or Jstor articles for Japan? As regards for which essay... I'm open to suggestions, at this stage, but something early Japan, possibly the Meiji one, would be best.

Going by Downey's wording in his e-mail I don't think he is accepting any late essays. "It's the FINAL DEADLINE" etc.

I like my pages short. I used to have ****ty broadband that would take ages to load.

Got that fixed with a 20 meg line though (That's really only 4 megs now but downloads at 10 meg speeds. Upc are weird).

I'm up to 546 words for my document analysis. I'm about to lay the smackdown on the British government for its role in the famine.

By the way when discussing the famine do we use a small f or not? I have a few books and some capitalise it and others don't.

Im doing ok for the moment... Im doing Meji question and there isnt a huge amount you can say, other than they wanted the foreigners out and they were willing to do anything really to do that! So im talking about the Unequal treaties a fair bit! :rolleyes:

Im at 1400 so far, got a bit more to talk about so I think Ill just about hit the word limit. With bibliography and footnotes.

Imo, just do the Asia one and get it in tomorrow. You wouldnt know if he refuses to take them after the FINAL DEADLINE or not. Ill be handing in my Irish essay next week, I cant do both at the same time!

For the Bibliography, it has to be in alphabetical order, doesnt it? Its by the Authors name, right? So what happens if you have two authors?

Power through the fear!

Can a lecturer actually refuse to point blank not take an essay if it's over the deadline? I thought they have to take it anytime within 2 weeks after anyway with the added penalties?
