Hi Lisa, i'm on the internet on my mobile so i'm not sure whether this message will work but here goes. I did revolutions and absolutely loved it. It is an extremely rewarding, fascinating and interesting subject if you are willing to be an inquisitive, hard working and dedicated student. It certainly is not a subject for the faint hearted. I completed the American and French revolutions. America was often straight forward in nature due to the simplicity of the events and details, yet it is important to go beyond a peripheral and basic understanding and search for a deeper meaning in regards to the events that occurred. France was definately more challenging any many of the lecturers said that it was the most complex and content heavy revolution. The French revoltion can often be daunting due to the myriad of content that must be learnt and analysed, yet if dealt with in a systematic manner, it is more than managable. You will find the content of area of study two for France the most difficult in terms of the amount of content. You must also be able to become familiar with a range of French terms which pop up along the way. I actually prepared an advice thread for Revs early in December which I never got around to posting. I will post it when I get back from holidays on January 15. I'll be visiting an internet cafe tomorrow to post a list of holiday pointers for this subject. I hope this will be adequate for the time being. Given that I am on my mobile phone, I hope this posts.
