Haha.. as long as he's passionate about something, its all good

Edit: I wonder if Tom actually knows theres a mini-discussion going on about him haha..!

Edit 2: Where the hell are all the other contributors to the previous thread?!

I know, lol. I couldn't contribute because I was banned in the week leading up to the exam. But I was still lurking; peering over the posts like an inquisitive pidgeon.

You know your probabaly right haha..

Some of us still have exams

As for the paper, I thought it was ok. Question 2 was a gift, I wasn't quite sure what the focus of question 1 should have been, originally I thought it would just be the difficulties in managing particular issues but I then thought it was looking more for a something along the lines of balancing environmental needs with those of people.

I was also surprised about question 3 asking you to propose strategies. I didn't want to repeat what I'd written in question 2 about Glenshee and I didn't think there was enough time to delve in to other strategies when the focus of the question was on fieldwork. Tbh, I think it was a pretty poor question. They clearly decided they wanted a question on fieldwork, but not a full 20 mark question on fieldwork so they adapted it to include strategies, much of which you could already have covered in question 2. Wouldn't it have just been easier to have had a question based on structuring a fieldwork exercise on the impacts of your chosen proposal on Glenshee and the surrounding area? Plenty of stuff to discuss and minimal overlap.

I can't say that I was a fan to be honest

I thought question 1 was a bit awkward in what it required, but I put in everything I could think of to answer it, so I just hope that it was right. The second question was ok, but I just struggled for time with this one. I could have spent the whole two hours writing an answer to that one, but instead I felt I'd rushed a bit! And I really just didn't like the third question, because I couldn't decide how to write enough for 20 marks.

I just hope that I have done better than I think I have :|

But it's over with now, and I'm extremely thankful!

Luckily my 'God-like' teacher predicted these question so it was a case of remembering what I'd wrote before. As for the fieldwork question, we watched a video on the Cairngorms that was used for a previous exam which showed fieldwork done by Aberdeen Uni about calculating carrying capacity by the number of tramples in a given area.

Question 1 I wrote about deer, heather burning, agro-chemicals and climate change for enviro. Social = population change, rural deprivation and climate change affecting skiing and unemployment etc.

Questin 2 was pretty straight foward.

For the last I chose Objective 3 but think I may have made some absolute crap up for strategies.

Did we have to take each bullet point and think of a strategy for each one or just kind of generalise a few points?

I did what you did, took each bullet point. I would assume that would be the best way to tackle it because then you're taking apart and dissecting the objective
