No. Never.
Although it depends on what you mean by "good".
but come the third year a lot of courses have disserations or research projects, and then you have to do a shitload of non-stop reading/research.
it all depends on the uni/course, how quick you pick things up and your subject.
You don't have to start with much, read a little, then gradually build it up
Oi, cheeky!
Actually, you do have a point. I'm doing accounting and actually, there's only so much reading around the subject that you can do - it's very much a right/wrong answer sort of course. But i read the FT a lot. And the business pages on BBC News.
I suppose at some point i ought to invest in my course books. Gah.
How come you have to read all this philosophy? Is it still for Politics or are you taking some kind of outside course in Philosophy as well?
Actually, I've just remembered I've a friend from Manchester who did all about ultilitarianism and so on for his A level Politics, so I guess I've just been unlucky!
Bow to me having Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle and Machiavelli on my shelf.
i got chemistry textbooks and maths ones, well mainly shortcuts in mathematical techniques, cause it helps in exams
Bog standard course that anyone who does a vaguely political degree does.
When you've done a dissertation on Plato get back to us.
We do too.
And we've read them!
Bow to me not having them.
I read Plato
It is standard for the degree but I get to choose a bit more if I want to do more next year.
Way to make me feel unspecial :crying:
That was the general intention:p
Kermit my friend you are one hell of a bitter man
