While I did a magazine for my MDP, you might want to look into the programs Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Quark. They're the ones used predominantly within industrial settings. In terms of printing, I got mine printed at a place called 'Lindfield Print'. I'm sure any printing house (not a...

Not much in regards to regular/weekly homework (in my experience, anyway), but there are quite a few huge assessments. Also, the sheer amount of content you actually have to learn is a little frightening at first. In comparison to other 2u subjects I've taken, it's probably the one which covers...

Read notes aloud over and over, then try saying/writing them without looking down at your notes. If you can't do it, keep reading aloud. Always works for me :)

I'M DONE! :D I think I'm in shock lol. It's just so unbelievable. I can finally watch movies without subconsciously looking for related material :p

Re: Something that made you say "my parents are so naive" Oh, sneaky reverse psychology... nice :p At least they manage to motivate us somehow! (On a totally random note, I can officially count down the hours :D *dies from happiness*)

Re: Something that made you say "my parents are so naive" Lol I'd get the "Well it's your life" guilt trip if I said that :p Nah, they're great though.

English (& Ext 1): Literally the god of all english teachers. She's just incredible! I've had her for 3 consecutive years, and I couldn't be more thankful. Seriously... best teacher ever :D She always makes the effort to respond to our emails within about 0.2 minutes, and she's constantly...

Re: Something that made you say "my parents are so naive" Haha yeah I do that a lot. They always just ask "So how are the past exam papers going then?" ;)

Oh, definitely the worst. As soon as my internet slows down even moderately, I freak lol.

Mine tend to be ridiculous fits of simultaneous crying and laughing haha. I had more throughout the course of the year actually. I think I'm so used to them now that they're just becoming my normal behaviour :p

Gah, I'll be done in... *calculates*... roughly 18 hours :D Totally tired of studying lol. I just want it to be over already!

Thanks so much for clearing that up :) I'm a little less stressed now.

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Haha I love it when subjects conveniently overlap. Makes the pain a little more worthwhile :p

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Aww, your teacher sounds quite horrible :( Mine is literally a walking encyclopedia. So passionate about history, so dedicated to his job, and he somehow manages to teach us in a manner which actually allows information to sink into our brains. When it comes time...

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Yeah, no WW2 :( We actually did a little on the Boer War as part of another module, and I remember it being quite interesting. If your teacher makes learning boring, do your own learning :) Half the fun in modern comes from extra reading and your own independent...

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? WW1 is by far the worst, and each of the following subjects get so interesting later on. Each of the modules has a lot more diversity than the core topic, so definitely... it gets better :D

I think both the 'personal background' and 'historical context' are pretty much integrated with a discussion of the individual's life already. In regards to personal background, I took that as Trotsky's early life, development of beliefs, early political work (eg school in Odessa, son of two...

I saw that the 2007 paper had Gorbachev and his policies as one of Russia's extended responses, so I neglected to study that section ;)

I always wear my two lucky bracelets to school, and then take them off just before the exam (because they actually interfere with my writing :p ) Oh, I'm definitely the same. I find it so scary lol.

That actually made my head hurt. Nah, I like crime fiction :) There are definitely some dull parts to the subject and the conventions can get a little tiresome, but that's where the extra research comes into it. There are so many genre-blending and convention-subverting texts which are truly...
