Nothing was mentioned to us bout uniform or otherwise, so Im just going in regular clothes and taking a jacket in case they decide to turn the aircon in the study centre on (they have a reputation for freezing the year 12's to buggery during the exams)

No probs :) What you are looking at is an historical debate or different interpretations of events through different schools of historiography. Or you could look at an historiographical school on its own and explore how it has impacted the study of history. I looked at revisionism and its...

And this post in itself is something that modernists rebut, saying that postmodernists are all about fancy and confusing jargon and not about historical research.

I thought all schools were like that? We were allowed to come late and leave early if our free periods fell that way.

I believe that everyone will have a different answer to this (I don't do maths at all so naturally I would say history, but thats not the point). People's minds are geard either toward the maths (logical) side or humanities (analysis) side. Whilst it is possible to be good/bad at both, there...

yeah the issues are like the sub-sections you study within the topic

Im really suprised that none of you seem to have the case books, they are small textbooks (we have two each) that list relevant cases for relevant chapters. I just assumed everyone had these books.

Nope, leave it out. Just address the question and mention your issues. Its a mere formality, leave any form of discussion or explanation to your body

Nope, I don't find it hard, but then again I love it so I don't mind studying for it!!

Don't bother getting the English advanced all texts study guide, its shithouse and only gives you a plot and character outline. For the modules get the individual excel books, they're really good. I can't help you with AOS cos it changes for you guys and they haven't written any for...

These are off a sheet we were given at the beginning of ext hist to help us decide areas we wanted to investigate (remember the better projects look at issues of historiography within the chosen area, not just fact alone): Changi, the mini series Joan of Arc, myth, history? Catherine d...

Yeah heaps of schools have 8, but I like 6 cos they're evenly spread out all day. Two in the morning, two after morning break, two after tea.

It was in our trial, but I didn't answer that questions cos I hadn't studied any of it (mind you I hadn't studied half the syllabus, it was a dramatic couple of weeks!). But yeah needless to say I am all studied up on it and could answer a question on it.

\ Not necessarily. Its only been two years in a row so you can't really call it a trend. The history exam writers were told to be 'unpredictable' this year so I wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't one. After all, if it was guaranteed there would be a crisis question every year, why would...

I'll be selling my textbooks and burning my notes. I don't have a hate for legal, but for the HSC as a whole.

Thats actually post structuralist. Post modernism doesn't believe in one truth.

Postmodernism is a general concept (that is, not just related to history) that purports the notion that fact is not possible. In the historical sense of the term, postmodernist historians say that historical objectivity can never be achieved, that we can never fully know the truth, as the...

Many people get full marks for their major works, only having two marks in the thirties doesn't indicate the high standard you seem to be reporting your school to have. It doesn't matter if you have a heap of people equal, it just means their HSC results will be similar (and that doesn't...

yep well said Funky. No one thinks you're good.

Just state what was asked in the question, make a doublr judgement (that is there are areas that are good as well as need improvement), and then state the areas you will talk about. Don't go any further on your intro, they aren't marking that, they just want you to have one.
