Finally, exams are over! I don’t think I could’ve written any more essays, I swear, I was utterly done! These exams were really different from the ones I had in January, for a number of reasons. First of all, last time exams took place exactly after I got back from the Christmas holidays. And I […]

Unlike school, when revision for exams involved reading over classroom assignments and learning information given to me by my teacher, university exams involve a great deal more independence. When our exams are marked, to achieve a high grade, lecturers expect to see evidence of wider reading. One area I have been taught about this year, […]
