I wouldn't worry about it too much. My Modern History teacher came back from marking saying that they're marking it Ultra-easy. People who write 2 or 3 things for a 10 mark question are getting 5's and 6's. And that's across the board...

My teacher dictated what we did for our case study, because I did it by distance ed. We only had 2 courses he would be willing to teach, Tacitus and the Julio-Claudians, and The Historicity of Jesus Christ. I would have preferred to do the latter as there is A TON of info on it, and the...

Ah, k then, I signed out today :D

I did a study of the Pacific War and how it's being taught to kids in textbooks. The results are interesting to say the least...

There were 3? I can only remember 2. One was some radio wave thingo, and the other one was something to do with shampoo and liquid soap and pH

Ur option d was what I did for my assignment. U gotta be careful with that one in your essays, though. That actually looks like the best option out of ur options in my opinion.

The pacemaker one I don't think we even did in class... Also, the one experiment my teacher said 'they won't test you on in the exam' was the wave modification. Luckily, I knew a bit about it because I work at a radio station, but I pity the rest of my class...

The case study question was a real bitch, 'cause not every case study had 2 areas of debate...

It took me about 10 reads to wrap my head around the question, but even then I didn't fully understand what it was trying to say.

Yep, I'm from Forster High. Which school do u go to?

The source threw me a bit, but I reckon i got it ok. The case study was a bitch in my opinion, my particular case study (Tacitus and the Julio-Claudians), was mainly focused on only one area (tyranny and freedom), with minor references to other areas such as women and wars. :mad1: Ah...

Can you please open up a forum for History Extension in the Exam Thoughts Forum?

I won't, there's another thread on this subject if u want to have a read of that, though.

The prescribed texts should have been the first thing you were given when you started the course. If you don't have them....:(

This exam was WAY too short. I finished after an hour and a half, and apparently NOBODY out of 32 ppl in the course was left in the exam room after 2 and a half hours. Anybody else find the same thing?

My exact question was: "At what point does historical bias become historical distortion? A case study of howthe Pacific war is being taught through textbooks in schools in Japan and Australia"

No they don't, I do it voluntarily :cool: Pillar are easily one of the best bands around at the moment, and I'm the leader of the Flicker Army down here in Australia ;)

Yes, I did Leni, although I can't remember what the question was...

I would have just said Hitler came to power in 1933. :confused: I really don't know the exact date...

The weighting of the Assessment mark depends on the teacher. It was worth 80% for me, and although I got a shitty mark for it, I still ended up 3rd in my class because I got 100% for every other assessment task. The advice I was given was that you need to get over 30/50 as a total assessment...
