it's been a rather interesting subject, but there's a big workload, i find, with all the readings and notes to do!

Re: What are the main topics for this subject?

Globalisation and internationalism & power in the asia pacific were the most interesting topics by far for me. However, G&I could get pretty depressing at times as you explore in detail how people in developing countries get fkd over... Bhopal... Ok Tedi... Nike factory etc etc.

I was disappointed about global conflicts, as I had much higher expectations for that part of the course. It may have just been the teacher i suppose...

Lastly, AFP wasn't too bad...

Re: What are the main topics for this subject?

to everyone who's actually doing this subject now (sorry freakygirl), how are you all going with revision? how are you doing it?

i'm just compiling super-summary notes and doing practice questions at the moment, especially practising extended responses and essays...

would love to hear from you!

I've neglected inters. study... However, i've only got two exams left (the first being friday week) so i have quite a bit of time before the 18th.

I plan to create summary notes for each AOS tomorrow. From there, write practice plans (and possibly a few essays) for Section B & do prac questions for the other areas, whilst revising summary notes. The focus will be on BM for the 40+ raw ss though...

I just can't wait until i walk out of that exam!

It's hard to decide how much time to spend studying for it, as it is probably going to be my 5th or 6th subject. After each exam this week i haven't been able to stop myself from checking the suggested solutions, so at the moment i'm on track for a 40+ ss in further and psych. Also, i'm ranked either 1st, 2nd or 3rd for BM and have put much more work into it over the year than inters.. However, inters does get that +3 scaling whilst business went down four for some raw scores :0

Not looking forward to my inters day tomorrow
