Making ancient notes (1 Viewer)

[senso]

How does everyone write their ancient notes?
I just don't know how much to put down, and i just end up copy out huge parts of the notes i have..

i try to do mine based arouns the type of questions i can get, also include mostly historiography and sources. I think this thread has been done before, try and find it, it has some good ideas.

see the 'writing ancient notes' thread - think it was started by persephone

i have an essay for each syllabus point :S

 

[shelley]

go off your syllabus pionts, in other words organise them, trust me the questions come from those pionts, infact my essay question for my histprical period was a syllabus piont word for word, know em, organuse your notes that way, cos the BOS cant examine u on anything else!!!!!!!!!!! Plus youll probebrly find your teacher taught the course like that so its easier to put your notes together

I use dot points under each topic...it's much easier.

 

[SarahMary]

i go according to the syllabus dot points

then for the essays i have them grouped into possible question areas (eg. for NKE army/ queens/specific pharoahs/ empire/building progs/ amun etc) adn have around 6 done for each

yeah i made some the other day on julius caesar, and basically went off the dot points, while thinking what i would need to put in an essay if i was asked about it.
But i've done like no study for ancient yet. I have the 6 days before hand to study about 500 years history along with physics and ext. history!

^ I'm basically in the same boat as you are senso....I havent started studying for history and I have 6 days aswell...

two columns - one column for a point and the other for the source to support the point/s...

the syllabus is your friend!

 

[silvermoon]

ugh, the syllabus is not your friend! it is an evil, diabolical creation from hell that wants me to know waaay to much! i mean, come on - there's only so much info that my little brain can handle before it explodes...oh...too late.

yes...the syllabus is evil, but when ur preparing notes it's great, coz you know they can't ask you anything OUTSIDE the syllabus. So if you know everything off your syllabus, you're doing ten times better than what i am right now

*pulls hair out* my timetable is a bitch
