How many debates are you doing in the Case Study?

The syllabus lists 5 debates for each - are you doing all 5 or what?

eg (from the Syllabus)

Option 8: Tacitean View of the Early Principate
Principal focus: students investigate the way in which Tacitus constructed the history of the early Roman Principate.
Students examine the approaches to history and interpretations (including recent historiography) that have resulted in historical debate in the areas of:
– context of Tacitus and his purpose
– the notion of principate
– tyranny and freedom
– Tacitus’ characterisation of women and men: similarities and differences
– the impact of archaeological, epigraphic and iconographical sources.

We're doing all 5 of these debates on Tacitus - is that what other schools are doing on their case study topic?


Note I mean case study, not Research project.

For example, you might be doing JFK, Tacitus, The Crusades, Elizabeth I etc for your case study

we are doing tacitus and our teachers making us do three topics however we only need to actually know 2

umm is this just me or have i seen this before?

Edit: Im sure I've answered this already. I said we're covering 5 in class but we only need 2-3 in the HSC

I must be hallucinating

 

[Ziff]

Covering 2-3 in school.

Yes Sarah 168 - it's Deja vu all over again!

I posted this before but I buggered up the heading so it didn't seem to refer to dates, just what case study are you doing. Since there was already another thread asking this it all seemes a bit redundant, so I thought it best to start a new & properly titled thread. Sorry for the hassle

It seems like most people are doing 2-3 debates, not all 5 loke we are.

cover all 5 but 2 more than others i think.

 

[Sarah168]

i just said we're doing 5 as well

I have no idea...why is my class so disorganised??

 

[Caratacus]

~dEjA vOuX~, get hold of a copy of the syllabus, go to your teacher, show them the bit about case studies, & ask them straight out what debates you are doing.

we've covered all 5 in class but we're using only 3 in the exam. we did JFK & some of the areas of debate overlapped so if we did all 5 we'd just be repeating ourselves
