Ok that's good. I have to say that for some reason not having my results published has taken away so much angst. I really do think they should stop it altogether. Marks are such a personal thing, and I know it is recognising achievement, but at the same time it's highlighting 'non-achievement'.

Oh you don't have to, but my teacher just said it was a good idea - makes it really obvious, and you get more marks. I did it in the trials (in which I faked a great deal) and it easily showed me how many people I'd put in - I was counting hahaha.

It's ok. Just try to use those historians and write after their names (BOS source book). Apparently you get more marks that way. My teacher just made us take a few quotes from a few. It's just showing off, essentially. Like Ranke, the classicists are in there, and you'll find Carr-Elton...

Mike85 can the essays be emailed? SOMEONE MUST BE DOING THIS Respond damnit !

I started doing pomo because last night I managed to convince myself I didn't know anything about crime ficiton. My teacher is not overly competent (the only crime ficiton she's ever read are the prescribed texts). When I got to the exam, I was like, shit crime fiction question, nice pomo I'll...

I didn't think this was such a bad question but I fucked it up by misreading the question. So I wrote about a made up character. I was about to start my second booklet, when I looked at the question again, and realised how HIDEOUSLY wrong I was. So I had to do a creative response in 15...

hahah, gloria* most people would say manic and idiotic, and shake their heads slowly.

WHo is doing that? I go to SACS and don't know anyone who does all those subjects together.

blahhh I am now in a panic too. My school chose crime fiction - I totally hate it and haven't watched the movie or read the novel in entirety because they're just so fucking boring. And so, being totally irrational, I think I will do pomo in the hope of actually getting some marks in the...

Maybe we can send you some out - like a relief agency or something. :)

I love the writing booklets. I am so tempted to steal some. Ohhhh the soft paper feel.

your principal finds out??? I thought it was never told to the school - they call you and you tell them if you want?

oh that is so good. They should stop publishing the marks altogether. It's shit.

Yah totally. Ancient is the worst. The syllabus is far too fucking big, exam a total bitch, for many of the topics the textbooks suck, most teachers are shit, and, at the end of it, the scaling means it isn't worth the effort. Anyway, I guess we all did learn one thing from the...

Ohhhhh I know who Tyler Durden is! Hiiiiii Michael, it's Emma. Glad you got through the exam... I was just relieved there was a persian fucking wars question.

No-one has been mean to Meh. She said "ur all living in a fantasy world ... ya idiots" when all I said was that 'Olympia' should not necessarily be considered in terms of Riefenstahl's promotion of Nazi racial ideology. I never accused Meh of not researching - I pointed out she'd...

You don't necessarily have to watch the films to know what you're talking about. My point is, don't copy out slabs of study guides to pretend that you have. Most wouldn't agree with this - Stephen Schiff in his "Leni's Olympia" Vanity Fair Sep 1992, writes: "critics who have tried to find...

meh have you really watched 'olympia', or have you just read p. 40 of "Individuals in Modern History" by Samantha L. Frappell?

Historiography WILL make up for not knowing anything. I did it in the trials for Germany - had about 5 'facts', the rest historians' analysis (which I basically made up).

No. It is going to be FUCKING SHIT. I hate ancient. :(
