Not really. Look at past questions.
It's usually along the likes of "identify two areas of debate and do whatever the hell you want".

Lol, I hope they tell us to do whatever the hell we wantnwatts said:
But, is it likely that they will ask us for 3 (or more) case studies? Because, in that case, I'm probably screwed. Like I know they've never done it before... but still...?

I don't think so. The case study I did doesn't really even have three key debates. (Hah, it only really has one, but oh well.)llluullaaa said:

I think there's only two other schools in the state that teach it, so yeah.. very few.llluullaaa said:
JFK is popular.
Okay so 2 debates and 2 historians for the case study is normal but we really should have a third. What about for the what is history part? how many historians is everyone preparing and learning? Or are people learning texts?

There's significant debate surrounding the accuracy of Josephus's Antiquities, a historical text which chronicles the life of Jesus. It's argued that religious scripts/translators have inserted evangelical elements that weren't present within the original text. Basically, it contains a whole bunch of random "Jesus is God" and "He was the Messiah" comments that seem very out-of-place.Libbster said:
It's actually a more interesting debate than whether or not he existed, because critics/historians are totally polarised on how they think. So there's little interesting debate, because it's essentially "he said this, she says its wrong" for three pages. And, the way I see it, the evidence is irrefutable that he existed. Whether or not he died and rose again is more pressing, but is ultimately a matter of personal faith.
However if you have any notes at all, I'd be more than happy to have a browse.

It's nice to find more people who do Jesus - I was starting to think that my school was practically the only one, apart from the Catholic schools...I got a bit worried when everyone was talking about how they didn't do jesus (on the forum earlier in the year), as the more religious schools would be better suited for it, but it's turned out to be okay (I hope...).Libbster said:

the post modern age
yh im the same.. my teacher has also labelled me a marxist historian as i plan to study economics and history next yr @ uni and when i write my modern history it is primarly focused on economic policy.
my case study is Napoleon... i think case study hardest part... its so confusing ...
i have an idea.. since we r living in a post modernist times can we write nothing and call it post modernism...j/ks... i think who ever did that deserves full marks as they truely understand the course... postmodernism sucks... thats my theory
good luck tomorrow
