General Thoughts: Modern History (4 Viewers)

[A Poisoned Seed]

Those were really good questions! Indochina, America and WWI were all really simple and the America question was the same as the trial haha I didn't really like the personality question though, it just wasn't the best fit for Hoover or my essay points. Still, wrote 9 pages for that and I think only half a page of that was waffle

WW1 - OMG could you be any more yummy

Tehe

 

[sam2263]

pretty happy with it all probably one of my best.

so what does every1 think the band cut-offs will be??

 

[smelnizzle]

it was a fair test. really good questions.



i just had momentary blanks.
*crawls into a hole*

 

[absorber]

I could not have had a better exam.

 

[Scinery]

lol damn! another exam that EVERYONE was happy with = low scaling? i hope not...

National:
So Russia Totalitarianism = regurgitate rote learned predicted essay

International:
Cold War Arms Race = regurgitate rote learned predicted essay

Core
Comprehension = lol
Usefulness = didn't write much + didnt like the photograph source though
Stalemate- how much/what did you guys write on this? i couldnt think of more than 2 pages worth?

TROTSKY -
a) = lol

b) i DISAGREED with the question profusely, thinking that's what we're supposed to do, but everyone seems to have agreed with it. what did you agree'ers say?

I said yes contextual elements are important i.e early life, but it was his passionate ideology that contributed more significantly to both his success and his demise. I don't think its that bad to disagree but if everyone agreed then =\

Overall an easy exam obviously, but does anyone know what the band cut offs have been in the past?

I didn't sleep at all last night lol, cramming the *entire* course. and then they tested my memorized essays __emo__

 

[annabackwards]

How did you find the paper?

Aced it

I wrote like 9.5 pages on Trotsky, 11 on Bolshevik consolidation and 8 for Cold War. Much more than i did for trials which was 6/6/6 so i'm very happy XD

 

[muscleman09]

Thoughts?


FUCKIN GREAT LADS!


My questions were absolutely beautiful....

Russia: Significance of lenins leadership in bolshevik consolidation!!!
Indo-china: Geneva conference and its significance on the devlopment in Nth and Sth Vietnam! <----

WW1: LOL very very easy

Personalities.... wtf

 

[wsm91]

Tehe

LMAO! We like looked at each other, jumping up and down our chairs! hahahas...

 

[0hNivlek]

Apart from the heat and cicada's it was an awesome paper! Loved it!!!!!!!

 

[hano]

the exam was good i ,however, was not.
argghhhh i stress out too much. I was hoping for different questions
and i kind of branched out from the way i normally write nazi rise to power essays (chronologically) and instead went issue by issue.
i think i screwed up leni. i dont think i answered the question properly.
hope i didnt accidentaly fall into 'narrative' style answers.

im just hoping i am pleasantly surprised with my marks because i tend to be overly negative and then do quite well. I had to make my cold war response fairly brief because i mismanaged my times.
Im not going to feel positive about it until i get my marks....hoping they are okay....but still thinking they wont be

 

[MrsLucia]

I thought it was all pretty great
-South Africa (9)
-Nelson Mandela (14)
-Indochina (6 :/ )

With the conflict stuff though, I don't know about other topics, but in Indochina you learn SO much. Like insane amounts of stuff... and the questions were both about minimal things so if you've brushed over that you're honestly screwed.
I picked (a), because I had NO idea what to write about teh other one. I mean I know that protest existed but I don't think I could write a substantial essay on it.
But overall I did pretty well, I think.
My hand is ruined until next week though, haha.

 

[Cinnamonster]

LMAO! We like looked at each other, jumping up and down our chairs! hahahas...

Yeah but like CONFLICT IN THE PACIFIC! Seriously.
I cannot believe our luck.
I very much appreciate our trial questions now, haha.

Lol when the superviser told us to "Check the pages" our whole class screamed "OMG!" and clapped and jumped out of our chairs and screamed and the superviser was like wtf?

lol coz we all did the same gamble

That's awesome!
I wrote more than I ever have too

 

[d3vilz]

i think it was ok

ww1 = meh, could've done a bit better
germany = (b) pretty much the same question as my trials; should be ok
albert speer = question b was G A Y!!!
cold war = arms race, should be ok

hopefully i can get >80

 

[annabackwards]

That's awesome!
I wrote more than I ever have too

Go us! Now let's just hope we did as well as we think we did :rofl:

 

[Cinnamonster]

Oh I can only hope.
I really don't want to make a fool out of myself because I ran out of the hall after the exam and almost hugged my friend because I was so happy about it, haha.
