I have periods where I feel ok and like maybe I'm prepared and won't do too badly, then I open my revision guide/textbook and bam...I realise I've forgotten half of it!!! Anyone tried reading previous examiners reports, I find they're quite useful..

most of the time in the ERs, they just talk about how students don't really answer the question and therefor dont gain high marks

BIG QUESTION TO THOSE DOING WORLD CITIES!!

What does it mean by "Planning and Management issues"
Is it for re-urbanisation specifically ? Or for all of them?
Can someone please explain - baffled by this. :eek:

Planning and management issues for re-urbanisation would be traffic congestion and pollution I think.

I am doing geography at uni...at Exeter uni....but in the Streatham campus :frown: wasn't overly ken on going to cornwall, I would rather stay in a larger city


Aww man we are so close! I went there for an open day but i didn't like the lecturers much at the time. Its a really nice campus though!
I'm more of a rural girl hence why I chose cornwall. Plus I think they added a module on natural hazards! And they do a lot with climate change which i'm interested in.

For all, don't worry too much it's just small things like issues of re-urbanisation might be original residents can't afford to live there anymore when people move back and house prices increase, management = certain percentage of affordable housing. that sort of thing! :smile:

Yeah, it came up in the 40 mark essay which is a shame because I think it's the easiest to remember. I think it's probably going to be transport management in the essay this time round.

I don't think it would actually be that bad if it came up in the essay, sorta like urban regeneration theres a lot of case studies you can talk about like the Manchester Metrolink, Freiburg (in the revision guide) and Mumbai.

Anyone got any tips for writing the conclusion on the essay question? I always lose marks on the conclusion

I always go with, "In conclusion, I agree/disagree with the statement because it can clearly be seen in this piece of evidence that the statement is supported. Although this piece of evidence suggests otherwise, it is not significant enough to compare with the original piece of evidence. So overall, [statement] is true/false.

I don't know if its any good, but my teachers haven't commented on it yet? So it can't be awful
