Curses on helpful A-level booklets.
Jan. 13th, 2007 11:45 amWhen we were studying Shakespeare at A-level, my English tutor who may possibly be the best teacher *ever*, printed, photocopied and wrote all kinds of background info and books and webpages which he got bound into booklets for us. Brought mine with me for this year figuring it might be helpful and it is, hugely so.
Only, he probably never expected us to be referencing it in university-level English essays and so didn't include all the book and author names with each photocopy. The webpage printouts are fantastic; the web addresses are right there at the bottom of each page and I've found one book through searching the title at the top of the page but one, the really useful one... nope, no title, no author, no clue. It's very, very, very annoying.
Of course, he did give us his phone number in case of exam revision emergencies and I, somehow, happen to still have it saved on my phone. It was only what, coming up to three years ago? It's entirely possible that it's still the same one.
... I'd be more tempted if I didn't suspect that, on re-introducing myself, there'd be a long pause and then "... Who?"
