    General Thoughts: Modern History 2008 HSC Exam

    Re: How was modern Exam? Me too (wrote an extra for Section 1) All these obscure facts came back to me and fit the Q perfectly! Not sure how many pages I wrote for each section, didn't exactly count. It never seems to matter anyway. You can get 25 for an essay and write 6 pages, or you can...

    Modern Teachers

    That is so lovely and dedicated <3 My mod teacher is wonderful and all the modern teachers at our school are so passionate about history. And I do agree, they tend to care more about the exam than any of my other teachers.

    IPT Study Thread

    Not completely accurate; in the context of some information systems such as a WAN packet-switching network like the Net, a switch can determine the best path for a given data packet to take. The IP address of a packet informs a switch as to which output port it should send it to, on the packet's...

    There was a question like that in a past Catholic Trial.

    National Studies HISTORIOGRAPHY

    Re: makin up historians?? Excel Modern History is notoriously unreliable as it is often subjective, as evidenced by the Ringer quote. If you are going to use Ringer's quote then omit the textbook name at least. Textbooks are simply collations of ideas into a form suitable for a syllabus and...

    Modern History is nearing.

    I have never been to the Jewish Museum but I really do want to. I agree, the Germany study can be very harrowing, especially the persecution of racial groups, homosexuals, intellectuals and the like. But hopefully people learn from it. Cold War Qs could be ANYTHING. I am more apprehensive for...

    Germany Questions? Will they plit them weimar/nazi

    +1 Logical. Prepared for anything that way. Studying one or the other is going into the exam pretty unprepared and risking good marks.

    Misadventure / Stress

    He could probably apply for Illness/Misadventure as that sounds like a pretty extreme response to pressure. However he would have had to get a certificate or something on the day (I think, that's just what our school kept repeating). I don't know much about what they could do if he succeeded -...

    I'm doing everything you're doing and I LOVE Gorby. Fascinating as a historical figure and he fits SO well with Cold War. Germ's my favourite though. Effing best historical period on the syllabus <3

    Modern History is nearing.

    Me toooo <3 Love it. I do WW1, Germany, Cold War and Gorby. The last two fit together so well and even WW1 and Germ go together quite nicely. Pretty excited but also scared. Hoping for an excellent, straightforward paper with room for individual argument. Good luck to you too

    Exactly. It's not probable. Methinks Women, Home Fronts. And as for Russian Withdrawal in WW1 - of course there have been Qs on it. Turning points two years in a row. Not likely they'd do it again.

    Modern History is nearing.

    Yeah, a short one-sentence overview would be good, I think. ie. "Intentionalist perspectives of the Nazi State hold that..." and then use a supporting historian: "Bullock supports this contention by asserting that..." according to the question of course.
