LSE100

Hahahhahahah the biggest joke of a course ever. No one I know takes it seriously, even as the exam approaches. Everyone I have talked to is only revising enough for a pass. Should tell you what it's like.

Hah don't even worry about the lecture time, no one ever goes because you'll realize it's boring and a waste of your time. Just pick up the slides before class. I didn't even bother doing that and just showed up having done the readings and was more prepared than half the people in my class.

Surely they put the slides on Moodle, or this is their way of increasing lecture turnout?

Thanks,

Nope the slides are not on Moodle. I asked my teacher why, and he said he doesn't know why they aren't doing it.

Cool, thanks for the swift response.

Can LSE100 in any way be academically interesting, if you want it to be, or is it bound to be as dull as I hear?

Sure if you want to really try your best it can be academically interesting. I just wasn't interested in any of the modules except the Cold War one so I hardly took it seriously. You only need a pass so I wasn't going to waste time on something that doesn't count towards my degree. The lectures are presented in an extremely boring way, the classes are not stimulating, and the assessments are a waste of time.

Gosh, LSE100 was such a waste. Absolutely hated the course. It was hardly challenging and the manner of doing well had everything to do with essay structuring and format and little to nothing to do with what you actually knew and understood.

I lost all respect for the course after my 1st assessment. I got a Merit on it and when I asked my teacher where I went wrong, she told me that the content in my essay was Distinction-worthy, but I didn't paragraph it appropriately and my citations were "clunky" in the footnotes.

Do they record the lectures? And slides available before class time? Not lecture time right?

By the way, how is everyone revising for the exam on Friday? Just going over lecture readings? I don't have any lecture slides from last year filled in!

Hah revision. I've skimmed the readings and am going to attempt to memorize a couple names from each module to quote in the answers.

That's exactly my plan, I'm only focusing on 4 modules and hoping that'll be okay. I don't even have lecture slides for most of them!

Hahahh same. I have like one set of lecture slides for each module. Whatever. I'm sure if we walked in now we could easily get a pass, so I'm not too bothered about revising that much.

Should I kinda break the exam for you guys? Cause I'm pretty sure I can predict the questions for Friday =P this is based on the questions from last 2 years
