ben,

get your facts straight before you try to rock sif not 99

See for our PERIOD - we have to cover the numerous personalities. two of these personalities in the amenIII->ramII period happen to be personalities of their own!

thats no justification for wasting extra time on doing extra personalities because the depth required for the personality section is way way more than is needed for the historical period and the opportunity cost of pursuing such a course of action is far outweighed by the cost in time that could have been spent on studying the other parts of the course in greater dept.

We are only half way through the fourth option but we have been working constantly flat chat all year and last term of last year, in fact a bit before. We will see who is laughing after the hsc marks come out and I suggest it wont be you.

ok, sorry - i didn't mean to make it sound like i think you were stupid or anything!

but yes, i see what you mean. of course I'm not going to study both personalities in tremendous detail! what i mean is we have covered two personalities in class.

and the period actually does require a significant overlap of the personalities.

Hey my ancient comrades,
I'm doing;
Spartan society
Greek world 500-440BC
Roman society (Augustus to Titus)
Xerxes.
The way I study is to write all my notes out on the computer following the syllabus. Then I print it off and highlight important bits and add stuff if I need to. It really works for me but each to his/her own.
Is anybody else finding the Greek world very difficult? The development of Athens into an empire is driving me mad! Anybody feel like they understand it enough to help me out?

if it's not too much trouble, do you think i could possibly have a copy of your greek world notes please? my trial is on monday and i'm really struggling - i'm not sure what i'm supposed to have learnt in this topic ...

my email address is - definitive_moment@hotmail.com

thanks so much

 

[sif not 99]

yeah i do the same as charlibrown

that way works for me but everyone studies differently i suppose.

by now u really should have some idea about how best u study, if u dont well perhaps u better figure it out damn soon

 

[Lullaby]

well i stratigically place myself at the kitchen table set up all of my work and then decide id much rather listen to music and forget all about it trust me it works

 

[sif not 99]

ahah yeah sounds great but it wont get me 95 in ancient tho, if it will for u then plz spill the secret =)

 

[Lullaby]

it doesn't actually work im just sick of worrying about history so i decided to take things easy

 

[|YaKuZa|EyEz On]

Everyone one are doing elements of what i'm doing, but no one has the exact same combo, its very interesting!

I"m doing Persian Wars, - Athenian Empire
Personalitiy and Period Fall of Roman Republic and Julius Caesar and for society Sparta

 

[smegger_em]

I know what you mean about the Greek world, too many names to learn!!

The worst part is my teacher, who has an amazing general knowladge, will stand up there and talk for a whole lesson, but he forgets to tell us which events he is only talking about for bakground and which ones are actually in the period.

I study by making up folders of notes, which i write and decorate by hand as colours and prettiness eems to help me remeber. I use Excel, text books and primary sources to make my notes.

i am doing verr close to you except not eprsina wars, we are doing peloponnesian (war) and delian leagues. i believe it come under Greek world category

suggestion to those hwo study from syllusbus. my teacher told me not to do that cause you need to know heaps nmore than whats on the syllubus.

 

[syd17]

I'm doing:

Personality: Julius Caesar
Ancient Society: Sparta
and Fall of the Roman Republic 78-28
and the Greek World 500-440 (i am so screwed 4 this, we did it just b4 the trials and now ive gotta rite all these essays on it now)

are ne1 else doing all these essays to study????

 

[sif not 99]

lee whats the point of learning more than whats on the sylabus? they arent going to ask u something thats not on it,

just learn whats on it in depth i guess

thats just my 2 cents

 

[jojogirl~]

i'm doing:

Pericles
Roman Society in the Time of Cicero
Greek World 446-399 BC
Fall of the Roman Republic 78-28 BC

too much stuff to learn O__o what i'm doing for studying is just going through each topic at a time, trying to make timelines and stuff

does anyone use the Ancient History excel? Beware, it has mistakes...

 

[smegger_em]

MISTAKES??????????????????????
WHAT MISTAKES????????????????
EXCEL HAS BEEN MY BIBLE BECAUSE MY TEACHERS IS INSANE AND TAUGHT US NOTHIGN RELEVANT.
HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
