    Quick question regarding any essays we have to hand in early/mid December.

    I assume they are all going to Charlotte Holland as usual, and that we have to have some form filled out before we go in? Procedure as usual?

    I haven't actually been able to go to any classes because of the essays, and the module outlines I have don't specify enough. ;)

    If in doubt, email Charlotte. She always replies! Tip for those essays: rather than reading whole books, try to find journal articles instead. Search JSTOR for your key words and phrases and you'll be pleasantly surprised with what turns up.

    I would have thought the point was to use both books and journals.

    I did say whole books. In my experience, a lot of undergrads haven't a clue how to tackle essays properly. But please, suit yourself.

    Thanks for the help, but I use both books and journals regardless, and never actually read whole books. Completely pointless, I agree. ;)

    Anyway, how are peoples seminars/essays going?

    Yeah I have it done (bar the annoying as **** footnotes), on Vietnamization and Nixon concluding the war. Pretty straight forward stuff, defintely the easiest of the three I've had to do.
