I just got this:
It's less than a week until the goddam exam for a subject that I really fracking hate - since when has the whole bloody course not been examinable?????? I'VE ALREADY REVISED SEVERAL POINTLESS TOPICS. GRR.
I repeat:
PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE PEOPLE NOTICE OF THINGS.
I had forgotten that last year I indicated which topics were potentially examinable. The point of the exam is to test your skills at commenting on sources rather than your memory, therefore it is pointless to have you revise every possible topic. Therefore, this year I shall do the same.
Topics potentially examinable in the Sources Exam
Section A
Canon Law – sources of law, structure of the court system, marriage
The legal and political importance of the Holy Roman emperor; the concept rex est imperator
The concept of the just war
The sea laws, the law of jettison
Sumptuary law and its enforcement
The writ system of English law; trial by ordeal
Section B
Legal humanism, including attitudes to ancient sources of Roman law
The impact of the Reformation on the law marriage
Early modern legal education and the legal profession
Institutional writing in Europe
The New World: including the legal arguments used to found territorial claims in the New World and slave laws in Colonial America.

Yes. This is stupid.
Like our:
"Every year for the last four years there has been a question on Edinburgh and Dublin. I can't tell you what is in the exam, but use your common sense."
Actual question:
"outline the differences in, reasons for and consequences of levels of state control of architectural and physical developement in early modern LONDON AND PARIS."
erm, no.
