seen the source before

my hist ext teacher had told us to read as many history text relating to the course as possible...

i was glad to see jenkins (for once) as i had read the text the source was quoted from... and knew alot about the context etc surrounding jenkins....

i had also read in defence of history and what is history...amongst other texts...

i also knew alot about carl becker which was great...


all in all i thought it was a great paper and i think ill get the marks i deserve.. hopefully...


we had also done some work in class on perspective questions...

i do think that we need more time i could have wrote a thesis on both...as most people could on such broad questions...

how many areas of debate did u all do? i did 2.. hopefully that was enough as it didnt specify :)

I thought that it was a good exam. I loved the source and was able to use all my historians in one way or another. I thought that the question in 1 was very open as well, and it was a matter of using the source well.

I found teh second one a little bit harder, only because I forgot about the quote until i was quite a bit onto my case study..

Otherwise I felt great coming out!

I thought the exam would be easy like the trials...I was so wrong. And I think I forgot to mention Becker in the second one so I am totally screwed!! I got 1st in extension at my school and yet i found that exam so hard and I was the only one!! Totally screwed!!

Well i managed to screw up yet another exam (most basically)...goodbye Uni!!

Pretty average. Blitzed section II, but i thought section one was narrow minded and almost stupid. There were so many other great exerts they could have chosen from such a mammoth pool of source information.
