    Assessing with Essays

    I've come to realise that my weakest point in most subjects right now is with Essays, It only seems to be lately since in past years I've always excelled with essays but recently I just seem to miss the point a lot, especially when asked to "assess" - I can't seem to register it in my head and...

    Ancient And Modern?

    I do both and I think I prefer Modern, but it really depends on what I'm doing at the time, like I just finished Russia for Modern and at first I liked Modern most, but now I'm doing Greece in Ancient and I prefer it..lmao so it's a hard decision, normally I like Modern better though.

    Question...

    I guess putting in something about Stalin and his purges might be good to add in, a big part of Stalin's position was based on fear, people were too afraid to speak against him so he had no competition and the little sign of competition he did have, he killed.

    HSC timetable is out!!!!!!!!

    oOoh I'm pretty happy - My exams are all spaced out, start on the 18th and end on the 12th and I only ever have on exam a day. I like it. Although the fact that it's so..close..is a bit of a reality check. I seriously didn't think we were close enough for a timetable yet.

    gothica

    I've heard mixed oppinions on it - it looks alright - mainly I was interested since it's a "psychological thriller" but like Lazarus said, the only psychological part seemed to be the main character being a psychologist. Either way, I think it just depends on how you like your movies. Everyone...

    Stalin's Policies 1928-1941

    ^ Yep I mentioned that in the essay draft already, pretty much just said that another reason for Stalin's pursuit of economic change in Russia was to support his ideology of socialism in one country as it was believed by Marxist theory that socialism can only be fully introduced in countries...

    Stalin's Policies 1928-1941

    Clerisy - It is a bit of a bitch to write, especially when it has to be four pages worth *hits head on desk*. I think I'll throw in a bit of info about his policies with religion and education though..I think overall a lot of his efforts were to strengthen the USSR against future threats (eg...
