    SDD - A Major Turn Off

    I got 71% in major project (no one else bothered with documentation) and 24% in trial and topped the class which has a grand total of 3 people, none of us too enthused about it. It fails.

    Section IV - Historical Periods

    Greece 800-500BC: Why didn't I study more of Cliesthenes?! Had a feeling that would be in there and I neglected it! Only remembered the boule, his radical way of thinking and that citizenship was granted by locality (?). So 2 out of 12783091263 things, left out all his other reforms... I'd be...

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    Pomp & Herc: Herc streetscapes definitely my weakest answer on this section. The archaeology question: talked about Spinazzola (sic?) and Amadeo Mauiri's ideas of documentation and 'in loco' preservation and how they influenced 21st century archaeology. Pretty lucky actually, only studied Core...

    Section II - Societies

    Sparta (Lycurgus): Nailed the helots qusetion, my answer for Spartan women was a bit shaky though, not the strongest but still pretty good I felt. Only thing I remembered about Lycurgus was Spartan upbringing, and that he wrote the Rhetra, but not what was on the Rhetra! Except that the...

    Section III - Personalities

    Personalities - Xerxes: Just threw something together about his revolts, his aggression in battle etc. Remembered about temple building and Persepolis, just threw something together. Wish I'd studied his building policies more in depth though. Not too sure how accurately I answered each...

    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Overall I thought I did pretty well although a bit shaky, but bombed out in one of the sections.

    how is your teacher/class for this sub?

    Our class has 6 people in it (though 1 guy only shows up like 10-20% of the time.) Our teacher used to be a programmer himself, so he knows what he is talking about. If we ask him something involving our major project he will work with us to find a solution, and if all the class are having...

    How do you Study?

    I usually pick a topic (eg: trig) I have trouble with, and work through each part of the question and see how it all goes together. I then do questions. Once I think I have each part of the topic down, I pick another one and repeat. Pen and paper, the computer is too distracting...

    How were your trials?

    As luck would have it, I caught a cold the weekend before the trials. I won't use that as an excuse though. Ended up coming 5th in my class with 56%. I know what to expect for the HSC though, and just finished summarising each chapter in the HSC course. Now to study those...

    CSSA Business Studies Trial 2007!

    I got 56% for my trial. I was a little disappointed as I was hoping to break the 60% barrier. I just find the whole concept of Busines hard to understand and put together. Oh well, Business is the subject that I don't think will count towards my UAI (10 from 12 units do). So I'm just plugging...

    '07 It Students

    I'm doing IT next year. I feel relieved knowing that only 26 or so people got 90+ in it. I was aiming for that, I still think I will, but I'll probably end up with 80 or so. If I get that, I'll still be stoked :). We'll wait and see.

    Do you like Business Studies

    I chose Business over Physics and Art. To be honest, I find it hard. Just the whole concept of it. I'm good with memorizing information, but not with the concepts. I got 58% in Preliminary if that's anything, I wish I had known how to study but we cannot change the past.
