As Cem said, it's basically an introduction to your essay, about 300 words long. What follows it what the Board of studies says in regards to the essay: The Essay The essay should contain: synopsis – this will be a brief description (300 words) on the development of the precise question...

Re: Were Cleopatra's relationships with Mark Antony and Caesar romantic, or political Have you been doing research prior to this point? If you've been handing in your logbook with your current research and ideas, then yes you'll be able to finish it off in three weeks easy. The hardest part is...

It's really up to you and what you like. :) Though, its good to make note of the opportunities that are possible. IF you do English Extension I, then in year 12 you have the opportunity to pick up English Extension II (which requires a major work), and if you decide on Drama, this also...

The two verbs aren't the same thing, and they do require slightly different apporaches when answering the questions. Contribution is like what the school of thought ADDED to the religious tradition, so any new additions, and what it did to the religious tradition. Whereas Impact is like how...

I agree with the other members, in this instance it isn't cheating, just a bit lucky and using your studying techniques effectively. I know with my school they had to make up trial exam questions as CSSA / Independent have not been released this year yet, and your teacher should have also...

Only by making them visually more predominant in your notes, different fonts, colours, highlighting, text, etc. By interchanging between a system of font styles and colours, you'll grow used to looking for the quotes in a particular style, as they'll standout. What I do to learn quotes and as...

Best to check the Modern History Syllabus for what topics are covered in the preliminary year. Although there is a CORE that looks at the causes of World War I, and also a unit which is entitled the student's 'historical investigation' - this is just a big assignment that the student undergoes...

lol, I'm doing trials now so they are pretty important to get before the exams. ;)

Woah that's really gross. Why on earth would your school put English and Chemistry on the same day is beyond me ( I should know, just did English Paper 2 and Earth on the same day, was a killer!). I wouldn't be too keen on those double days with the Histories either, Ancient and Extension have...

No worries. :) Glad it was useful for you.

Oh Hai there! n_n I see you also do Earth and Environmental Science, how are you finding the course? Not many people on here do Earth, so I don't get to talk about it much. :)

Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: just wondering... Ah yes, that's how my teachers conducted the first section, do very little, and then BAM next thing you know a million more things to read at home! I suppose as long as you're learning the content, then they're doing something right! n_n...

Sure will be! Going this Friday with school! :) Hopefully it will be good.

Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: just wondering... Woah big class. >.> Bigger than my whole Modern class actually n_n'' Well, mine has umm 1 person, give or take :P Nah, just little ol' me, chilling with two teachers. >.> Was awkward at first, but now the two teachers just chill with each other...

Trials have the biggest impact on your assessment mark as an INDIVIDUAL task. Trials usually weighting around 30-40% of the assessment mark (at my school anyway, weighting varies from school to school). However, you still have to perform well at the other 70-60% of the assessments in order to...

Ahh, thanks a bunch May-Cat, this site will be very useful in the years to come! n_n

Look at the syllabus for each subject, then coordinate your notes and summaries around that format, using the dot points as headings and groupings for the information. After you have a succinct and comprehensive amount of notes, then look at past papers (from board of studies, or even...

Let your teacher know about it, or perhaps a head teacher if you're really concerned about it. But in the end, they will fail (or do poorly) at the HSC. Let them be fooled now, they won't have learned anything for the duration of the year, will have no experience in studying nor with...

Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: just wondering... No unfortunately I'm not looking at those topics for Modern, my teacher is most confident teaching the German case studies, so that's what we are stuck with. (along with conflict in the Pacific, which I'm so revved up to start next term!) And in...

Finally I can access BoS again, sorry about that. I have sent through a copy of the notes, let me know if you don't receive them! (Though remember to check your junk folder!) Plutarch's 'Lives' is a book, I'm not sure if it's online at all, but you will more than likely be able to find a copy...
