    Ask About X Course in Here!
    So I thought I'd make this thread for up-and-coming 3rd, 5th and 6th years to ask about certain courses and qualifications - ask about course content, work load, and how we found the courses. etc.

    Thought we'd make a little list of people who would be willing to answer questions so that people asking questions can have someone to quote and talk to about the course.
    If you fancy volunteering to let people ask whatever questions they have, just leave a reply saying the subjects and level you'd be willing to be asked about.

    I'll put myself forward for Higher Admin since it's likely to be less well-manned

    I should have specified that this is for asking about what the course is like, what you study, how the workload is, not for subject-specific help. Use an appropriate subsection or thread for that please

    But I'll let you get away with it this once and direct you here.

    Found this on Google, checked out the Powerpoint slides and they're definitely good. Look on the left "PPA Revision" it's all there

    At prelim time it's not out of the ordinary(I have 3 but 2 of them are poems)


    By final exam time you will need at least 3. I personally will probably have 2/3 poems, a novel, one or two short stories and a play.


    Random aside, did anyone ever look at the TV/film questions?
