    what is everyone studying for this exam?

    Black death, Avignon, what else?

    I'm thinking of going for these two as well as 12/13th century...

    Whatever ye do, dont do the Crusades or Investiture. We were told that they arent coming up, as they were essay topics. Most tutors said Black Death is coming up, and constitutes most marks for the exam, so definately look at that one well.

    As for the first half of the module, I'm doing Normans & Heresy moreso, but will quickly look at others too, just incase.

    yeah, i did the Investiture essay so knew that wasnt coming up. was going to have a look at Normans alright - Heresy and Normans both came up last year according to the past papers, dont know whether this make it more or less likely that they'll come up again...

    Mushy, you're wrong. The Crusades were not an essay topic. Investiture controversy and the 12th Century renaissance were the topics.

    There wasn't a past paper last year, I did this course last year and it was entirely essay based.
