    Re: The Uni Revision Thread: Summer 2012!
    Still not started revising due to an excess of coursework and IS.

    IS: (10 - 12k)on 7k already still got results and discussion to finish due 20th April
    Wildlife Conservation should be finished by end of day due 4th May.
    Microbiology: 2 essays, one finished and ready to hand in 1 essay to finish by adding references as have about 20 references so need to add another 10-13 references to even out 30 for both will be finished by end of the day both essays due 17th.
    Vocational Module: a 3k report and log book from a work placement to write out not started as yet both due 30th.

    Exams: Only have 2 as I took a module worth 100% coursework.

    Wildlife Conservation 15th May
    Microbiology 18th May (seen exam paper as module is so varied and is the final running of the module).

    Really need to get good As on these exams as I got Bs last semester and need to get a 2:1. Aiming for 2 As with the IS as well.

    It's so mean that they give people essays to do so close to exams. The amount of time you actually get between the last lecture and the first exam is already really short at uni. I'm so glad I have all my essay deadlines in term time.

    Need to do Laplace transforms today...thank gosh they're easy!

    Given up on mechanics for now. I realised yesterday everything I didn't understand was mechanics 5 of further maths at A Level so bought the A Level book and hopefully i'll be able to study 120 pages in 5 weeks!

    Semester 2 has gone really quick 5 weeks until exams begin and 7 weeks until my first year is over

    I'm motivated for my Politics and IR exams, but my American History essay is starting to get on my nerves. I can't write it til I get back after Easter as I need to go to the library again, but I'm trying to do the reading I can do now and its rather boring, plus I hate having to spend so long on one topic now.
