our teacher never talked of modernism vs. post-modernism. Even the study guides I talk about are very vague about the way they cover post-modernism. I guess you can't talk concretely about something that is similarly ambiguous; there can't be a definitive explanation of post-modernism, when it...

There's no best historian - historians and historiography is best studied comparatively. That being said I like the argument of Richard Evans versus the rest of Post-modernism e.g. White, Vincent, etc. . "In Defense of History", 250 pages of historical bliss. There's also Macaulay, Scott...

^ My trial essay was rather chronological spanning from Macaulay and Ranke to the modern Annales and social science history. Got me 20. So I guess you're right. I think last year Clendinnen was talking about history as a science. Richard Evans discusses a lot about that in his book "What is...

re: The Official F1 Thread Disappointed. Lewis choked. But someone quickly remind me that he is only a rookie. Not yet a Jackie Stewart, but he is far from being a Stirling Moss. I guess it's retribution for Kimi, losing the title in 2003 by 1 point, losing 2 points in the 03' Melbourne...

My English teacher was saying that's been happening the past couple of years, I remember seeing a speech-type in 2004's paper, but that's a long time ago. I didn't really consider that they were all essays until someone told me - probably I was too focused on one question. I guess a lot of...

sometimes shutting the fuck up is a better idea.

What a left-field question. But I thought I answered it well, but with such a boring personality (Leni Riefenstahl) it was hard to stay awake and keep writing. I did a lot of describing in both questions, even when the 15 mark one was more of the analysis bit. I needed to discuss and...

What I thought was to talk properly about 1923 I had to revert back to why 1923s social structure was that way - i had to talk about the 1918 revolutions, rise of SPD/KPD/USPD, fall of conservative authoritarian rule, etc. I'd studied a lot about the Weimar, but not much on cultural life...

are you still a citizen of a country if you don't have a passport from that nation? about the 5 citizenship thing.. I believe you have the option to be either one of those 5 nationalities when you are 18... I guess some allow dual citizenship so there is the option to be 2 of them. I don't...

So what would be the equivalent of 1 page of HSC exam booklet page? I haven't had much experience of using exam booklet pages, when I had some in the Modern Half yearly and Trial I just wrote "see attached page" and wrote in the pad provided...

re: The Official F1 Thread Bathurst?! They don't even bloody show it. Yourtv.com.au says it's just a load of more RWC replays. That's a load of shite. But it being in the holidays will soften the blow a bit. I hope Lewis wins in here so that Brazil won't be as significant, because it's 3-4...

you should've lost it walking around the city :D great place to visit, but a week would probably be stretching it. I've been there a couple of times, next time I want to visit neighbouring KL. They've not opened decks of any one of their 280m skyscrapers have they?

re: The Official F1 Thread Alonso will most likely go to Ferrari next year, if not he'll be there 2009. ITV were talking about that, the problem would be where he would go in 2008: seeing as he's not in talking terms with the owner and his team mate, he'd be rebuilding a lot of burnt bridges to...

right now it's about 2 hours. really pathetic, but with all the F1 and the footy gone I'm gonna get stuck in. Fortunately some of my exams are a week or two in from the HSC.. so I'm pouring all my efforts atm at English and Business

The syllabus is very general as it gives flexibility in terms of options in studying a key issue (for us it's Napoleon, the popular choice is JFK or Elizabeth). Ask whoever will be your history extension teacher what he/she plans to study after Historiography/What is History part. For me doing...

multiple choice business studies is a lottery. sometimes you get two answers which in a short question you could probably get the marks. 17 for multiple choice for me is pretty good.

Let's not delve into the postmodernist "history"- that's like calling nazis, democrats: all for the sake of destroying democracy itself. I don't see why Australians should be ashamed of their history; for starters it does nothing helpful to actually solving the problem (which I'll go back to...

In hindsight, tutors would have given me probably a chance for 95+ UAI, without it as I am now I'm just aiming for a 90+, then again I never planned on doing Law or Medicine.... If you want to get 80+ UAI then you're probably not going to get insane by the time the HSC begins.

for someone who writes approximately 10 words to a page, i write a page with 1-2 paragraphs in about 10 minutes, less if i'm in the zone. i say in a 45 minute essay aim for 4 pages. absolute minimum i reckon

Was that for the trial? Jebus, that must've been an absolute bitch. So you actually had to discuss structuralists versus determinists?
