This is a key module in their A Level studies and was an informative event that allowed them to hear from experts in their field: Dr Daniel Beer, Royal Holloway, University of London: The Collapse of the Romanov Dynasty: The Russian Empire in the Reign of Nichola II Professor Robert Service, University of Oxford: Revolution, civil war and the rise of communism Dr Catherine Merridale, Institute of Historical Research: Vladimir Lenin, Shaper of the Revolution Dr Simon Huxtable, Goldsmiths, University of London: Utopia Postponed: Why Nikita Khrushchev didn't build communism Dr Martin McCauley, University College London: Stalin, his dictatorship and legacy Further to this, the students had the opportunity to hear from Dr Robin Bunce , who gave invaluable advice on how to structure exam answers and how to avoid making common mistakes. Dr Bunce is especially relevant as he is the person who wrote the textbook that we use as a foundation to the course! The students behaved impeccably and were a credit to TENC. They were all able to make useful notes and were full of praise for the event, and some of the feedback is below. "Really good" "Good contextual knowledge - really brought it to life" "To the point - really good to hear from experts" "Dr Huxtable was very applicable to the exams" Thank you to the students and to Mrs Bowers for making the day run so smoothly - despite London traffic making the return journey 4 hours long!
