Does anyone else write their own textbook for the harder modules? I feel like it's the only way to truly understand all those proofs.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Need to start working soon, it's a month in and I haven't even gone over one lecture :eek:

I tend to make my own notes and turn them into massive outlines. I guess they're kind of like textbooks. But I do it for most my modules, regardless of how hard/easy they are.

Finished quite a lot of reading today but feel as if nothing's parked in my head, since that's elsewhere...

Guys I am new to courseworks. I have never did a coursework in my life. Can you please provide me some samples or resources to make me understand how a coursework should be ?

I write notes for all of my modules but for the hardest one, I rewrite everything and turn difficult Maths notation to everyday English. I even have my own made up exercises there as well as the class problem sets.

You're degree sounds so much harder than mine lol.

Sounds pretty standard though. I know some chemistry students who do stuff like that for their more difficult topics. Anything that helps you understand the material is good though.

We just read through everything we can again and again and just hope it sticks. We just have lots of pointless information to remember. Not too hard to understand tbh

It's just that one module where I rewrite everything so I can understand it.

With the others, I can get a 2.1 or a first by just studying the notes, the textbook chapter and doing the problem sets. Mainly because everything in the lecture notes and textbook is in plain English and easy to understand.

In the library ready to crack on with reading on regulatory theories for my essay. Would help if there were more sources on it.

You can get a first just by doing that? I'm so on the wrong degree haha

I wish law was in plain English. Judges go on about how the law should have clarity then they write forty pages explaining the reasoning for their judgment and then you get to the end and the judges are like 'just kidding, I just felt sorry for the claimant' and I'm like :angry:

What ideas do you have? My friend had a problem like this for her dissertation so she went over her past modules and looked up obscure articles which discussed topics of conflict and debate.

I'm so glad I'm not doing a dissertation though. I wouldn't start it until the night before haha!
