Swett, P. (History)
So I'm in Hist 2ii3 (Modern Germany) right now and I'm freaking out about the exam. My prof's Pamela Swett, resident German history pwnage, she also does the Nazi course (Hist 3FF3).
So can give me any general tips? Even if its for the Nazi course, it'll help me get an idea of what to expect.

She's actually -not- German, she made a point to tell us. |

I'm in Modern Germany too, and have had Sweet before for Historical Inquiry. Her exam will likely be tough, but fair. I'm assuming she'll do a review on the last day of class, and I know my TA is more than willing to talk about potential exam questions with us in tutorial.
Think about the terms she had gone over in class, and what they mean to the greater picture of modern German history. History courses always challenge you to draw overall conclusions while stating the significance. The essays we have already had to write are good practice questions for drawing conclusions.
Don't panic! Just make sure you go to lecture, as she's giving HUUUUUGE hints as to what will be on the final.

Thanks. 
Does she tend towards SA and Essays, or is there usually also some sort of detail component (like MC)? I remember Dr.Streeer would have an MC part in addition to an essay, so you had to know details as well as general concepts/happenings. |
