Following the exam on 20th May 2008 at 9.30am some concerns have been raised about the clarity of the information we were given regarding the neccessary revision for the US Global exam. So far the concerns we have heard are:
*We understood the course to be focused on Post World War II
*We were told we would not be examined on legal aspects
*The questions given in the revision session did not resemble those on the paper: We were advised the first section would be theoretical rather than historical
*We were under the impression that a selection of case studies covering a range of aspects but not neccessarily time periods was sufficent.
*We were only given two one hour lectures on pre world war II but they formed half of the paper
If you had the same problems and would like to bring it to the attention of the University please sign this petition
The exam was totally unfair. We were told one thing and then the paper was completely different. Spent all my time on post-war stuff only for half the test to be on pre-war. So frustrating.

Ridiculous. Waste of time attending those revision sessions if they were just going to lie about what to study.
