Not a clue, but I'm giving guessing my best shot!
Everyone's in the same boat on this one, that I've spoken to at least. I'm trying to read up well on one theorist from each part of the course (Gramsci, Marcuse, Goffman and Parsons when I get around to re-reading functionalism - basically the ones that got most lecture time) and know bits and pieces about the rest. It's not easy!

ooh thats a really good idea.. i was just gonna look over the lec notes and then do Parsons and Gramsci in loads of detail and just pray they come up...theres just so much to do for it. Hard to know where to begin!!

Gramsci and Goffman are the ones I've done in detail, Gramsci's handy enough plus the lecture notes are decent too. Am reading over Parsons at the moment and it's painful stuff!
