    Political theory tomorrow. I'm so screwed.

    I've been looking at past exam questions all day and can't come up with any sort of structured answer. My only hope is to waffle my way through it and hope I show enough understanding of the issues.



    Just learn what each 3 felt on democracy and go from there I'd say.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_Marxism
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill/
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill
    http://www.stoa.org/projects/demos/article_aristotle_democracy?page=1&greekEncoding=

    Few articles on anthenian democracy on blackboard which might help.

    How did the assignments go? If I remember correctly, 40% is done before sitting the exam?
    I (very) stupidly missed one of them, but did well on the essay. I think I need something like 37 percent in the exam to pass the module.

    I'm really worried about this one since it's a core module. I may be alright, it depends how much I remember.

    I will be relying on memory from lectures to do well in Political Theory lol. I'll see how that works out.

    Hey how did you get on? Was easier than I thought..can't believe it. That said, one of my answers was quite waffle-y.

    I didn't like it at all.

    What I wrote amounted to an 8 page memory dump. I don't think I really engaged with the questions at all. They were kinda of tricky. Half of what I wrote probably wasn't even relevant. Feck it, at least it's over. Hopefully I scrapped a pass. Don't fancy having to repeat it.

    1 down, 4 to go.

    1a question on the main objective of democracy saved me. All the other question I had no clue on so had to bull**** the second one like most other people. Still gonna stuggle for a pass though.

    Will your assignments, attendance etc help you? Exam was only 70%. I don't think I'd be overly confident if the exam had been 100%

    Test today went great. Group Theory I found hard yesterday. I hate 100% final exams. Hopefully I got a pass or that I can get compensated. I dont want to have to that again because I found it hard and I wouldnt be confident in a resit. Hopefully I get compensated since its an option.
