    I think mine said the same, but do we contact the tutors or will we get an email later with the tutors contacting us?

    Assess either the social or the economic impact of the Industrial revolution on Great Britain.

    I want to focus on the social impact.

    Is anyone on here going to the a2b day on the 6th July?

    cool.
    I am...
    Were we suppose to email her telling her which title we were doing? She's going to organise something to help History students out. (i emailed her asking if we'd get any help)

    Oh right, I dont think so... I just emailed her about my assignment title just in case

    I assumed that the A2b day on the 6th July was to help History students out, and that we would meet our tutors...now it seems a bit pointless to be going!

    I really hope whatever she is sorting out dosent involve us going to Birmingham to meet her...because its enough effort for me to get to the A2b day at 9!

    Which question did you pick btw?

    I think its for everyone who didn't get to experience a shadow day.. its compulsory i think so you'll have to go...

    Lol i know i really can't be bothered to go anywhere or do anything. My exams have sucked the life out of me!

    The Cold war option. Was your offer ABC?
