I'm stressing.

We're only two-thirds of the way through Russia (our second topic) and I know there's only a small amount of time left to do our personality and conflict study.

We have an awesome teacher who really knows his stuff but he's so unorganised and it's making me 100% nervous, especially with such a content-based subject.

Anyway, what's everyone else up to in Modern?

dw we're behind too.

we've only done WW1 + 3/4 of germany, we were meant to do the personality (all of it) on our own - so no class time to do that
we'll be finising the int'l conflict after the trials

Well that makes me feel a bit better, we'll probably do the conflict after the trials too.

But, you have to do the personality by yourself? I've never heard of that before.

We're doing Russia and Trotsky so it kind of combines which makes it a bit easier...

mmm...i guess it's our school's way of saying "sorry we can't manage our time to fit everything into the syllabus...here why dont you do this whole module on your own? " ;)

I find Russia really interesting, but, whatever floats your boat.

Have you done your personality study yet? Or have you just done WWI and Russia?

Yeah dont worry. We have done WW1 we are nearly finished germany and apparently start the personality (Albert Speer) on Monday. hopefully we will finish 'conflict' before the hsc. our teacher reackons the topic is so big that all teachers have trouble getting the course taught in time... not including revision.

I guess when worst comes to worst, modern history is the kind of subject you can teach yourself, so I could learn the content before we do it in class...

I agree with your teacher here.

I usually finish the course with about two or three periods to spare.

I have finished WWI, 80% of Germany, 70% Leni (I teach these two similaneously), and 10% WWII (the German foreign policy as a lead up to WWII).

I will finish it about the 21st September if all goes according to plan.

Ditto, we're up to our National Study aswell, Germany. Don't worry, you'll finish the syllabus by the time HSC hits
