Revision
An Update
Posted by Jaipreet in History on May 23, 2017
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 […]

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.

Posted by Jaipreet in History on December 13, 2016
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?!?!

How to Impress Your Tutor
Posted by Jaipreet in History on November 28, 2016
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.

Degree Done – Exams #2 and #3

The Gobbet Paper
Posted by Shannon N in History on May 18, 2016

Where Gloves Go To Dry
Posted by Grace in History on January 23, 2013
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 […]
