Editor's Notes
- #4: First a quick reminder…. Kortext and reading lists. Kortext are in the Quad this week 9-5.
- #6: Due Week 4 – Presentations will be during lecture/seminar hours on Monday 23rd October. Slides must be in by midnight the day before (Sunday 22nd October) A Google site: - Good for getting an overview of the topic, different aspects, what they might include. Image results are useful for this too! Some sites are GCSE / A level Others e.g. Sky Sports. Telegraph, Huffington Post may highlight issues but not in great depth. Also date – Sky Sports report is 2012. Good starting point but need to go further
