Is this a lecture solely for Modern or is a part of those Edassist thingos?

[Tenille]

[Sarah168]

They do. We have the notes for WWI and abit of Germany I think... I still wish we went so I can take my own notes

 

[Tenille]

I went today.

The albert speer guy was really good. B.Bennet was his name. Also the guy who did Germany 1918-1933.

The others were a bit repetitive

I went on Friday. Went to Indochina, Using Sources, Peace and Russia. I thought it was really good. Using Sources wasnt that great and Peace was shit boring. I shouldve gone to Trotsky with the other half of my class instead of peace, coz it was the same guy who did Russia and I thought he was excellent. Overall, it was good.

hey was anyone disapointed in the cold war lecture?

 

[EroticCity]

I went to the cold war one on Saturday - and damn was that absolutely fantastic!!! I forgot his name he has been a HSC marker for about 35 yrs i think. I cant remember but he teaches at Baulkham Hills High School. He was full of energy and was obviously passionate. He didnt talk to us about things we could find in text books which was great as he told us that we have to concentrate on cause and effect (not a narrative). i would rate him 200 out of 100 - all the way!!!! Everyone was so imersed they didnt want to take notes!!!

So when is it, and how much will it cost?

Do they just lecture on the subject?
