Lecture 1. This is what they called a taught masters, and it is part time, one evening a week which initially seems ok, that's in actual fact just the tip of the iceberg. The first evening dealt with using the online journal system but I have to write 200 words in one journal explaining the features and benefits and in a second journal explaining what effect it has had on my chosen thesis topic. Was a nice easy glide into the course.
For the next week I go over the concepts now and over and over again as it slowly sinks in that for the next two years most of my waking hours will be spent working on this Masters. Personally I think that is fantastic.
we learned about primary sources and secondary sources and official sources and some other stuff. we get to download powerpoint slides that are really useful and good for nudging your memory.
My thesis / dissertation is about the middle parish but it will be honed down, I am already thinking about 1845 - 48 reference merchant princes during the great famine under the laissez affaire doctrine. brain is exploding, and I have to go on holiday to Spain tomorrow, will fill in the journals on the beach, and chill.
