    looking for history extension tutor !

    You might wish to ask your teacher what case study you'll be doing, as it's probably best to find a tutor who did the same one. I might be tutoring for History Extension, pending my HSC mark in the subject.

    USYD Scholarship Application

    I haven't received anything either. I'm guessing that means we're either on the reserve list, or we've made it past the first cull.

    USYD Scholarship Application

    I was under the impression that only one faculty (science, I think) requires an interview.

    Confirmations are usually mailed around this time of year, so whoever got shortlisted should know pretty soon.

    A god amongst Bosers...

    I'm not defending gorgo in particular, genius. I just detest tall poppy syndrome with a passion.

    Dude, with every post you're making yourself seem like an egotistical, arrogant and jealous fool. Just quit while you're behind.

    I believe envy is a sin.

    A god amongst Bosers...

    Yes, I suspected it was gorgo when he said his EE2 major work (great stuff, by the way) was an examination of the emotion of grief. His achievements are truly something, especially when considering they were all amid the HSC. And playboy, your negativity is truly sickening sometimes. Lighten up.

    Official school rankings...sooooo?!?!?!?!?

    Also, it's worth mentioning that the bigger the school, the bigger the mediocre student population (usually). The smaller the school, the more committed the students owing to the dedication of the teachers and the smaller class sizes, which are more conducive to learning. That said, there are...

    Official school rankings...sooooo?!?!?!?!?

    At the moment your assessment marks are non-existent, as they will be someone else's HSC exam mark (or your own). Long story short, all that matters in regards to HSC assessment is your rank, not your marks.

    I lost my pin!

    Type in the wrong pin THREE times to make it invalid, and BOS will send you another one in the mail. I learnt that...the hard way.

    Raw mark of x should give....?

    Indeed, I'm gunning for at least one of us three to make it into the 2005 Modern History Student Answer Book ;).

    Raw mark of x should give....?

    True, but to argue as such in a Modern History essay would make it sound, in my opinion, more like an Extension History essay (the subject for which I usually save such profound ideas). So yes, while I agree that the idea of calling Nazi Germany totalitarian being anathema is quite trite and...

    Raw mark of x should give....?

    I concluded that German society was superficially totalitarian up to 1945, but was, from within, actually a morass unworthy of being classified totalitarian. Our good friend Kershaw supported my conclusion :p.

    Raw mark of x should give....?

    While it is completely true that historiography is, under most circumstances, essential, what is even more important than its use is putting forward an argument and thesis. For example, in regards to totalitarianism, some evaluation of Germany's status as a totalitarian state must be made, not...
