I think your teacher wants you to discuss in detail what the source says about the french revolution and possibly how it links to the events at the time.

Off topic, but is that university work? wow that looks quite complicated and difficult from how it's worded, but not to
hard.



It's community college work but not university. The difference is (if you don't already know) community college only offers 2 year degrees while universities are 4 years. The first two years at universities are usually similar to the two years of classes that community colleges offer. The point of community college is to keep the price down. Two years at a community college is going to cost 6,000 USD or so and the last two at a university will cost me 66,000 USD. Compared to four years at a university would be 132,000 USD.

I think it just seems complicated how he worded but whatev... he'll get what he gets.

I've never heard of community college before, what one do you go to? But that is alot cheaper than university. University is a rip off in the USA, it's only a maximum £9000 ($14000) per year for 3 or 4 years in the UK lol. But from how you described community college, it's just a cheap and shorter alternative of university.

LOL @ your point. 

Bolded: yeah I wasn't sure if there were any in the UK. Community college is state funded and each district has their own. Unlike universities as long as you live in the state you'd get in state tuition cost. These smaller colleges are really just for people living in the different districts. I go to Joliet Junior College it's in Illinois and I think Joliet is the second, maybe third, biggest city after Chicago. They also deal with a lot of technical training too. Like if you want to be a mechanic/nurse/electrician.

I agree school is a complete rip off. I actually looked up schools in Ireland and such because it would have cost me just as much in tuition... but obviously the relocating expenses would be far greater. However, the price I quoted is for the school I'm transferring to so that I can finish my four year degree. It's a private school which are always more expensive than state. Also private schools don't change the rates for different students and I wanted to move somewhere that I wouldn't get a chance to otherwise. Marquette University is 32,800 USD per year. Compared to University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) would be 16,000 to 18,000 per year (but if someone out of state were to attend UIC they would be paying closer to 30k). Reason I chose Marquette is because they are offering me 21,700 USD in scholarships and grants (which you will never be offered at state funded schools). So of the 72,000 USD of tuition I will only actually be paying 22,000 or so. Also, private schools offer better education.
