Why third year modules are so exponentially harder than second years I don't really know. The business school admin must be mentally retarded. You know the 2 days cramming right before exam? Yeh it won't work anymore. Well this means a few things:
Don't understand the seminar solutions? You won't be the only one.
You start recognising the real power of the internet. At least for me, typing in 'immunization' led me to other random lecture slides, notes, journals... a very long process but you can get your questions answered.
The lecturer's email is bombarded with so many queries that s/he will probably just let it get overload and say to all: I am NOT going to reply
You get to recognise just how many different study methods there are. Currently I found: Reverse day-night strategy (so you can talk to noone and no-one talks to you), Repetitive work strategy, workload-sharing (everyone spot all potential questions and each prepare a piece of essay and if you are in the 'scheme' you share answers); notes-trading, notes-write-up trading (I write out points, you type it up), Utilising the library (apparently the reason is to prevent distractions of food and water. Act of desperation I would say) and the current champion of all strategies: reading lecture slides in reverse order! Er... not sure how that works, but apparently if you are able to understand it, it means you are ready
Uni is such an interesting place...
