Is this just me...? (1 Viewer)

Ok I do Ancient History by distance education and I'm doing all the civilisations I didn't want to. I really wanted to do Egypt and instead I'm doing Greece and Rome - the two I really wanted to avoid. :mad1:

I thought you were supposed to have a choice in the matter. Has this happened to anyone else or is it just my teacher?

:burn:

Er, no, your teacher choses. How could a teacher be expected to teach something if they haven't learnt about it in advance?

Technically, in the HSC paper, there is nothing stopping you from doing whichever options you want -- just like there is nothing stopping you from not answering the paper altogether...

If you have any specific issues, just make sure you follow them up!

You may have heard friends from other schools saying they have a choice regarding what they do in the hsc exam. which is true to a certain extent.

when i did the hsc we had to do 1 Personality, 1 Society, 1 Historical Period and 1 additional period. We learnt about 2 personalities (so we got to choose between Xerxes and Hatshepsut), 1 society (we had no choice in the exam), 3 historical periods (out of which - egypt, persia and greece - we had to choose 2).

because you're going it by distance education, i don't think it's going to be as lenient.

don't be quick to give up on greece and rome. A LOT of students choose egypy, and often it is good to choose a topic not many students do, so you don't get compared to others' answers. more of a chance of getting higher marks (this is wat a hsc marker told me)

plus ancient greece is fantastic!! full of sexual innuendos and incest!

Ah, I totally forgot about that. My school did 3 -- Ramses, Akhenaten, and Agrippina.
