Well, the first definition from dictionary.com is "The principles, theories, or methodology of scholarly historical research and presentation." That summarises it pretty well - different ideas about how history should be constructed. Different historiographical views debate -whether...

I already posted the URL for the Book of Readings ... look up.

It's a big collection of articles/excerpts from historians. You can get it as a PDF at: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/history_ext_readings.pdf

And also how thorough the teachers are marking it... We handed in ours on the first day back this term, and have about 14 people in our class. They're apparently being double-marked so that will make it take a bit longer. They might be ready now, but we have trials, so we won't get them back...

Handed mine in Tuesday. It was more of an anti-climax than a real relief though, because now so much work has just come to an end.

Isn't it synopses?

Since it's marked internally everyone getting bad marks shouldn't matter at least. I can see what you mean..ours is getting marked by another teacher in the history faculty at our school who has had no involvement with the projects, although he probably knows who we are.

Student 1: If we can see the moon during the daytime, then on the other side of the world, where it's night, what do they see? Student 2: They see the sun!

What is c/c? :confused: Mack there were probably several people that came first - notice the word ranking - it's like several people get 100 UAI, but they don't all get exactly the same mark. We found out from my high school principal, by accident ie. he showed us, not we had to find out.

Thx for the vote of confidence. Autographs on sale $7.99 :D (btw didn't mean to brag in previous post, just a fact!)

I made it into selective, I agree with +Po1ntDeXt3r+ about selective schools creating a good environment for learning. No-one at my selective school (teachers etc.) ever say what sort of UAI you should be expecting or make you feel that you will have failed if you don't get 95+, it's just...

Everyday, but we don't get them until term 3.

Need: 96.5 Aiming for: 100 (realistic chance I can get this, as long as I work bloody hard - I was ranked equal first in NSW in selective test but that measures potential not performance :rolleyes: ) Happy with: 99.9 + I agree that it's kind of stupid to focus on a target rather than...

Yeah the same with us (sort of). Over a few weeks the teacher set us about three each week to read and summarise - the main ones eg. Jenkins, Evans, Reynolds, etc. We had a bit of discussion in class but no real study of them as such. We did the rest of the topic as a series of debates between...

omg I am a complete bogan. Sorry.

Don't forget you don't have to agree with the statement. You could talk about all the other reasons for Greek victory (strategy of confining Persians to mountain passes and narrow straits, inspirational and competent leaders, troops better suited to the terrain, overstretched Persian supply...

I agree, quit bragging alfalfa. In any event no external exam requires you to write a synopsis so having done lots of practice will be of little importance. As long as you can write a good conclusion and introduction, which are not the same as a synopsis, you'll get across the summary of your...

Yes, they handed out notes. Out of the three speakers, Stuart Macintyre gave a good overview of the history wars and some analysis of Windschuttle's arguments. I have put his notes here. Lindall Ryan was useless, she just told us about her research methodology and then gave a lot of...

Firstly laracroft, it is not necessary to PM me calling me a dickhead. I posted and I am capable of reading a thread to see what other people think. I don't PM people every time I post because I am not under the misconception that my opinion matters that much to everyone else. To refer to my...
