Slideshows

I have uploaded a number of slideshows/presentations to the excellent slide sharing site, www.slideshare.net. Other students who are sitting your exams have left messages to say that they have found some of them helpful (and some not so!). Here they all are in one post. Remember, they are all intended just to support your other revision, and do not simply “play” them, but click through each slide at your own paste. Feel free to leave a comment to say whether or not you have found them useful!

Key Words

I am slowly uploading all the key words as flash cards on an excellent site that I have found called Quizlet. You can practice your words, then test yourself, and they seem to really work. I now know that the capital of Alaska is Juneau, which I’ll probably never forget after having a go with another set of cards. You can also sign up and create your own flashcards for any subject that you need to learn either key words for, or you could just make them questions and answers.
