    With the exception of today (I was sick), I've had the most productive week of the year.

    We got nothing specific, he went through it and gave us general advice which was good but no hints or anything.

    The only thing that i picked up from the tutor was that you need to know the timeline, if you dont know general events and dates etc youre in trouble... i.e im in trouble.

    My modern Europe tutor said that there'd be a question on the two end of cold war theories, Clash of Civilisations and End of History. She said we need to be able to describe the theories and look at the critiscisms of them and compare them to each other. This was hinted at in the lecture as well, however, the reason she said that she was telling us this was because it is a very hard question to do well in! Haven't looked at it yet but gonna have to do work on it.

    Otherwise for section one I'm looking at the Age of Discovery and Reformation. For revolution reaction revision I'm just doing two lectures from each half of the course, but don't have a clue what type of questions they're going to ask - wish they'd given us a sample paper!

    That sounds nasty. Good luck to anyone doing it though. :pac:

    I'm focusing on the Reformation and the Cold War for that exam.

    SP - I got the impression that the Cold War question would be the question 'offside' mentioned on the two end of cold war theories, Clash of Civilisations and End of History
    Am I wrong in this (would love to be)

    No, those two theories relate to the post-Cold War period which was covered in the final lecture. The Cold War itself was the previous lecture and covers 1945-89.

    That's it, I haven't done any work, I don't know anything and I am going to fail and drop out. Ah, who could know abject failure could feel so liberating.

    First exam tomorrow. If I had a nicer timetable like last semester, I reckon I'd be fine for these exams. But instead I've got 6 exams in 4 days. Not having time to study in between is what's going to kill me. All nighters aren't really an option with exams that close together.

    I ended up going into the main RDS arena because that's where I did the exams last semester. Then 10 minutes before the exam I realised that the UCD exams where actually on in RDS simmonscourt. I didn't even know where it was until then. I had to run like the wind and was totally breathless by the time I reached simmonscourt. I think I was the last person to enter the exam hall for the exam, just before they closed the doors. I was lucky.

    I guess I just another stupid first year. :P

    My worst one is tomorrow also.

    It's one I failed at Christmas as my car broke down on way to exam and by time I got there someone had already left so they couldn't let me in.

    Through assignments I was 3% off passing, now the exam is 100% and broken up into two parts, one of which I'll be grand for, the other I haven't a clue and nothing is coming back to me.

    Why do people apply these supposed steps in the grieving process to the exams? It makes no sense, and I haven't gone through any of those stages, I am just lazy and unmotivated.
