    If I don't cite key theorists will I still pass
    I have an exam tomorrow that I'm very nervous about, I picked sociology as one of my module choices (I study English Lit) and have regretted it for most of the year. In our exam we are expected to both cite key thinkers and key ideas. The problem is I'm not confident that I'll be able to remember the names of the thinkers/not mix them up! If I write two solid answers, with good arguments and use of theories will I still pass?

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Nope, sociology is an evidence based subject, if you dont quote theorists you won't do well. Sociology is not an opinion subject.
