Course Method

Classes involve discussions on issues related to the content covered the previous week and an introduction to the part of the specification to be covered in homework during the following week, directed particularly at developing key conceptual understandings. They also involve guidance and shared practice in writing exam-style essays.

The aim is to create a relaxed but purposeful atmosphere in which students feel free to ask questions and to share ideas with each other. Guidance is given on note-making, and templates are provided for students to use in structuring their own notes. Students should expect to spend six to seven hours per week on note-making and other set tasks.

Students will need to acquire the following coursebooks:

  1. Modern Europe, 1750-1921 by G. Goodlad (ISBN 9781108733922)
  2. Stalin’s Russia, 1924-53 by M. Lynch (ISBN 9780340965894)
  3. Hitler and Germany by W. Simpson (ISBN 9780521376297)
  4. Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust by A. Farmer (ISBN 9780340984963)

Tests of exam-style questions are set at the end of each topic and marked by the teacher. A bank of questions is also provided for students who wish to do extra practice and answers to these can also be submitted to the teacher for marking.

If notice is given in advance of a lesson that a student will not be able to attend, a video recording may be made, to be temporarily available after the lesson.
