LLB/GDL Revision Thread

[gricole]

As we all know, excellent academics build the foundation of an impressive application. With exams coming up, I thought that it is a good idea to have a revision thread to help us get through these two/three months and provide support to each other. I always find contributions from friends at other universities very creative and thought-provoking given the slightly different syllabus in different universities. I will be recording my daily activities here so to provide some motivation for others and to help my organisation. I encourage you to do the same. This year, I'm covering Contract Law, Land Law, Tort Law, and Public Law.

Recording N1:
- Tasks to complete: Tort Law Essay 2000 words on police negligence by April 2nd; Public Law PQ 3000 counter-terrorism and human rights by April 26th.
- What did I do: read and took notes of the three key judgements, still reading commentary on police negligence and the Robinson case in particular. (If anyone has a reading list or any reading recommendations on police negligence, I will find it very helpful).

If you guys have any ideas on how to organise/structure the revision thread, please do share them in the comments.

Now, let's go work! Have fun revising and remember - it's never too early to start!

I actually compiled an essay/exam checklist that I devised in my second year to ensure I was hitting key criteria to achieve the best grades I could. In an exam, the pressure can often lead candidates to forgetting things they do habitually when writing essays for coursework/formative assessments. Noting down the checklist before you begin to prep an exam answer can help to deal with those initial five minute nerves and get you in a good headspace as well as helping you to frame your response better! I was a history student at Warwick so apologies if not everything is necessarily useful or relevant to your assessment style but maybe a few things will help I shall post it this week for you all

Recording N2:

- Made brief handwritten summaries of the majority of police negligence cases to develop a case-bank that I can use to support my argument in the essay
- Read and noted 5 articles
- Created a plan for the rest of the preliminary research to allow 3 days for writing the paper (700 words a day) and a day for editing and improvements.
