I also was not very interested in this unit, but it was one of the humanities unit I had to do to qualify for the Arts degree. I was just just hoping for a pass, as I did not consider this to be my best writing, but I was very impressed to get a distinction for this essay.
From the tutors feedback, I think my essay scored so highly because it was well structured. They told us only 4 or 5 of us wrote a proper introduction?!
