Re: Howd you find it?

I sooo think they should've provided more writing space for WW1 questions. It was so annoying everyone asking for the hole puncher at the end so they can join all their booklets together. Like seriously, no one can write only two pages and expect to get ten marks! Its so stupid!

We used staples to avoid the bias...http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?p=3861341#post3861341

Re: Howd you find it?

i haven't had a chance to read the whole thread.. but i thought it was okay - except for the indochina questions!

is it just me or were the time periods for each one really screwed?
ie. for a) the time period was 54-79, which is massive - so i didn't pick that option cos i thought i wouldn't get enough time to do it all.
for b) it said 68-79, but it was about 'communist victories', so wouldn't you think that it should end at 75' when the communists take over in cambodia? i know there was the whole 3rd indochina war but thats not in the syllabus.
basically i think it should only have gone to 75! oh well i wrote a paragraph about pol pot's regime anyway.

and personality question was great for leni riefenstahl

I write about 12... but my handwriting "style" can be described in only one word.... messy :S

fudge it though, by the end of the day we all write as much as we can. I have a friend with grinch/Corpse Bride handwriting (in that it looks like a Dr.Seuss/ tim burton drawing in letters :S) and she does well, even thoough she doesn't fill up many pages its compact and well written.

Re: How was modern Exam?

Leni was clearly a loser. Yeah, although her dancing and acting and films were good, think about what history did to her. Basically she had a nervous breakdown after being de-Nazified 3 times, and then to top it all off for the rest of her life she got abused and called a Nazi sympathiser. I'm not on her side, i'm just saying the majority of historians are pretty judgemental of her so that's gotta have some impact on her. It's probably the reason why she was so stubborn and refused to apologise.

Yep, she's a loser.
