Understanding crime module help

In first year of uni studying law and criminology. Finding it fairly hard as not overly intelligent, but finding law easier/far more interesting (even tho I would argue crim is wayy easier)

I have exams in Jan on both law modules and one crim module. Wondering if anyone has took an exam for the understanding crime module before, and can give advise on what sort of things will be asked within, as struggling with the module/subject in general.

Or any advice in regards to uni In general/studying.

Hi

I would recommend talking to your lecturers as they will be able to guide you on what to potentially revise since they will be the one writing the paper.

One study technique that I used to prepare for exams at uni was Study SMART Not Long: It much easier to implement a regular and successful study schedule if you are studying SMART.

S: Set yourself goals for study. For example, make up an exam/essay question and work towards answering it.

M: Remember VARK. Are you a Visual learner, Audio learner, Reading learner or Kinetic learner. Use study techniques that will promote the best learning for yourself.

A: If you are struggling with anything ask your teacher for help. Their job is to help you with your studies. Alternatively, use study guides or the internet to help breakdown tough subjects.

R: When you hit your goals, complete work and meet important deadlines reward yourself with treats. For example, make watching an episode of your favourite show your reward for completing tasks.

T: When you’ve finished studying take breaks. Go for a walk, hang with friends or get a cup of tea and watch TV. It’s important not to overdo revising.

Hope this is helpful.
