An Update
Firstly, I’m sorry I haven’t been writing much lately. I’m at that strange point where I’m not really going anywhere except Sainsbury’s, or doing anything except revising. I won’t complain about exams – thankfully I’ve been able to choose my modules so that I’ve only had two – but all the same revision is annoying […]
Time Management Tips
Last term I completed the Leicester Award, which is a course you can do through the uni to improve skills like working to deadlines, self reflection, public speaking, and giving presentations. One of the skills I chose to focus on then was time management, and so here I am, ready to impart my knowledge on […]
How to work during the holidays
Christmas is really a time of year where nothing appeals more than sitting under a blanket filling your body with chocolate. But why not do that whilst also catching up on seminar reading?!?! Working over Christmas is horrible, but it’s something you have to do. Even if you have no January exams, going over […]
How to Impress Your Tutor
There must be a myriad of articles and blog posts telling you how to get extra credit by convincing your tutors that you’re a brilliant student who knows everything. However this will not work at Leicester. Due to the anonymous marking system the only way your tutor will know that you wrote your essay is […]
Degree Done – Exams #2 and #3
So I officially finished my degree on June 3rd, but I’ve given myself a bit of time off over the past couple of weeks as I felt that I hadn’t had a proper break for so long! After relaxing for a while – I’ve mostly been watching Euro 2016 – I definitely feel ready to […]
The Gobbet Paper
So, my first exam is called a gobbet paper, so it isn’t the traditional ‘answer two questions in two hours’ paper that I’ve been used to! A gobbet paper is an exam where you are presented with extracts from primary sources that you have looked at throughout your module. You have to write an […]
Home for Christmas
Term is over and it’s time to go home for the holidays. I’m back in Norwich now and I’ve already settled back into a familiar routine – I’m back in the job I had during summer, reuniting with friends and generally taking time to relax! The real trouble is, I don’t really have much time to […]
Don’t Panic! It’s exam season…
People are always saying that one of they key’s to successfully preparing for an exam is not to panic. Well, personally I think that’s easier said that done! Despite the fact that I am feeling pretty good about my preparation so far, with 4 days left until my (one and only) exam, every now and […]
What’s the best way to revise?
With exam period starting today, many people at the University will be continuing to revise for their up and coming assessments. My one and only exam is on the 1st of June and I’m already well into my revision. At the end of the teaching period, lecturers seminar tutors often try to give revision tips […]
Where Gloves Go To Dry
Greetings all from what many people call moderate freedom. Sorry I have been away for a while but revision has been number 1 priority… and my laptop broke again. Let’s hope this time it is feeling a bit better as I ONLY HAVE SIX MORE MONTHS! A most scary reality. I’ve been busy applying for […]
