Hey Greeninsanity, I didn't do a lot of research before hand, all i done was a bit of back ground reading and just thought about what I would want to know about this person in terms of historiography. In a way there are some general questions you can have, but I think it would help to be a...

look there might not be anyone on this site atm who does that time period

pompeius magnus

what i was saying generator was that you don't have to have a provided source in front of you to answer a question. You would not have a source in front of you to give you guidence in answering the question and the question would be marked soley on you knowledge without the assistance of the...

hey, narrator haven't you paid attention to the whole thread? i thought everyone had actually concluded that Windschuttle isn't a postmodernist. On his website he clearly states that he is against postmodernism, so i think unless you have gone and researched the topic properly than i wouldn't go...

As Ms 12 said you don't have to stick to the source booklet. I think, in regards to your question of how many historians you should know in detail, you should have a pair of historians on the many different aspects and parts of historiography. It might sound like alot but unless you have ESP...

i dont think i'd mind at all if they didn't give us a source becuase then i wouldnt have the trouble of having to refer to it all the time and keeping in mind what the source actually says. You (in my opinion) would be able to focus soley on your answer and not trying to remember to refer to the...

i prefer doing ancient Rome because i studied alot of ancient egypt from year 7 through to year 11 and found that i enjoyed Roman society more. I don't mind the Greeks either. if you end up doing Agrippina, Greek world 500-440 BC, Roman society from Augustus to Titus or Augustus and the...

i can send you some notes on Greek world 500-440BC if you want, but i can't on any of your other topics because i didn't study them; so if you do want the notes just let us know.

You could do Guantanamo bay, but it would be very difficult because it is, as you said "too recent" not much research by historians would have been completedas of yet. The best thing to do i think is to do a bit of preliminary reseach, if you really want to do Guantanamo bay. Find out what...

I think it would be best not to do something someone else has suggested for you to do. The best idea is to do something you'll enjoy researching. If you enjoy ancient history start there; decide what sort of history you like e.g military history, personalities, societies etc and go from there...

I didnt think that the title of the source didnt relate to the question at all. you see in the question they asked about the purpose of history and the title is 'history as art and as science'. Some historians like Edward Gibbon and Herodotos wrote history as a form of literature/art and Ranke...

I was quite suprised at the questions, i was expecting them to a fair bit harder than they actually were. I think i done fairly well, i flew through the case study question without a problem, but now we just have to wait and see.

I go to a public school, but i have never recieved a mark higher than 19 for my essays, some say my teacher marks hard but i dont think so. This is an extension course and high marks are supposed to be hard to achieve. All those people who get full marks all the time i think have teachers who...

hey guys, good luck with the exam! I think we'll all do fine aslong as we answer the question and not get of track and talk about something totally irrelavent. best wishes and i hope you all get the result your hoping 4!

i think even if i didnt know the windschuttle versus deanne debate very well i think i would be able to still pick up on the oral history part of the debate and still use herodotos and Thucydides.

I havent failed any of the essays i have written to date. I am quite used to writting my essays following the source provided, since we have to refer to it because the question asks us to. See if the question asks about the use of sources and in the source the author mentions the debate between...

i suppose it would be easier to follow the chronological approach, but i think with about two days left before the exam i will stick with what i know.

my teacher places alot of emphasis on us not writing in chronological order. He says that by doing that it looks as though we have written a pre prepared answer and markers frown upon it. So the best way apparently is to answer the question by following the points raised in the source. The first...

Keith Windschuttle has his own website where he discusses his view on the aboriginal history debate, 'isms' and 'studies' (postmodernism, environmental studies, gender studies etc.) other historians, books etc. the website if you want it is: www.sydneyline.com
