I just want to know why a non-geographer is in the geography forum :p:

Hazards play a large part? Is this some weird little degree like "Hazard Prevention" or something like that which I wouldn't guess in a million years? (Unless it is actually "Hazard Prevention" in which case I've just guessed it?)

My revision technique is to type up every single one of my lectures so they're all neat. Kinda works 'cos I'm learning stuff I never knew before (particularly from the lectures I didn't go to and am now lookin at the powerpoint slides from them!).

But it's also pointless. Should do some reading...but that's even more boring than typing up lecture notes. Oh well....only 60 lectures to go.... :rolleyes:

....geophysics? :wink:

Blimey!! ive got seismology notes to write up and learn :rolleyes:

Eek GIS! Lol we've been doing that this year...they've taught it really badly - lectures were pointless (they followed the story of an alien who didnt know how to use a car - meant to be a metaphor for students not knowing how to use GIS ???????) - and then the assignments were stupid...

Step 1. (This would explain how to put crap loads of layers on a map, change from raster to vector, change colours, gradients, size, and put loads of things like legends, a North arrow, etc. on)

Steps 2 to 10. (These would explain how to save the file and close the program)

It was so annoying. However....after 1 exam and 1 assignment (of 2 exams and 2 assignments in total) I have achieved 41% lol...so I'm not worrying about that module anymore! :biggrin:

blimey again!! sounds exactly the same as what happened with me :biggrin:

except we had to answer silly questions as well like why water was present, 9 times outta 10 it was because it was the sea! :redface:

and i got 48% after an awful multiple choice test... Even the people doing a GIS degree didnt get it! :rolleyes:

Haha...a question we had recently in a little assignment was "What is the grid reference of the coastline to the West?"....which went from the top left, into the centre of the map, and then back out to the bottom left! It was like "errrr....which bit of the coastline do you want the grid reference for??"

The exam we did was open-book...told we could take any notes we wanted in. I laughed! So many people find it so hard...but it's really simple stuff, especially when you've got you're notes with you! :biggrin:
