I guess...it's weird. We keep asking but they keep saying "ohhh wait till after your exams...you dont need to know now".

Because my class is 50-50 moden and ancient students, we're doing both JFK and Tacitus. I must say, my teacher is pretty brave doing both, but they'll pull it off...

I don't think this approach is too common, but it kinda makes sense. The modern people might have trouble with Tacitus, and ancient students would have problems with relevance with JFK

The ancient people in my class are doing tasitus...the modern people are doing JFK, so I'm doing JFK :D

The people that do both ancient and modern get to choose which one they'd prefer

well, for me I am an ancient history student who was sorted into Appeasement...Im a bit like a fish out of water...but despite that I have found it quite interesting...was Churchill always so verbose or is that just a personal thing of mine? Its so strange to have sooo many historians...in ancient Im just used to one or two...
