A summary on how to revise Consciousness:
1. Get sorted on the philosophy. Do you think functionalism cuts the mustard? If not, make sure you have a strong case for it. There's always a question on this.
2. Organise the various theories; get intimate with them. If you're clever you'll create your own (psst: steal little bits from everyone else's and call it yours). A3 paper might be handy here.
3. Go through the evidence - stuff like behavioural data, neuroimaging, brain damage, sleep and wakefulness, attention and arousal - and match it to the theories. What supports what and what undermines what? Now you can write about good and bad theories. There is always a question on this.
That is all.
