Gonna be writing coursework on that this year 

[Adam]

for history? is that the one where you can choose the title of the coursework yourself? if so, i did mine on the same thing 

[Blasted]

 :lol:

Yeah there are two questions:

1) Assess the significance of popular pressure in bringing about improved representation and greater democracy in Britain in the period 1830-1931
2) What in your view was the short term significance of ....... in bringing about improved representatio and greater democracy in Britain

We're also doing Nazi Germany    I wish we did somethign else though, I did Nazis for my GCSEs.  Then again, this is way better than the Arab and Israeli conflict last year

[Adam]

you're well copying me with your A levels  

we did nazi germany a bit too, which actually annoyed me a bit for the same reason - it was interesting and all that, but it was really no different to what we did at GCSE level. i took a unit last year on nazism and WW2 though and that was a million times better because they actually do it properly at university i think. Alevels are really too similar to GCSEs i think.

we also did the Cold War and Civil Rights in America. Cold War i liked but i'm not really into american history. i prefer european stuff

[Blasted]

Can't help it, my History/Politics teachers are the only ones who like me in college

For History last year we also had Franco and Britain 1945-1970.  I did so shit on Franco/Arab-Israeli conflict  :lol:  Got a D.  I did get an A for Britain though 

We're doing a bit of Civil Rights and racial equality in the US for Politics right now.  I wish we could have done America last year though, we could have followed the election.

Utopia

also today I got a copy of a book printed in 1948 (?) called Invert, about homosexuals and how they need to be fixed. Goes well with my book about why we should never give women the vote
