[mira.mourad]

I did Egypt New kingdom to the death of Thut IV. Answered question a) on Nubia..

I also done New Kingdom Egypt. picked choice b) i thought it was easier

 

[Skinneth]

Augustan Age - extent of propaganda - such a godsend. Filled the booklet.

Agreed, was a great question, so broad that you could almost talk about anything he did and evaluate it in regard to its propaganda value.

 

[kaytee91]

I did greek world. Hit up some Themistocles.

 

[jessmooka]

Julio-Claudians... I loooved it! i wrote a booklet n a half, tiny writing, probably about 1500 words... amazed myself what a great Nero question!

 

[Thecorey0]

Rome 264-133BC (Punic Wars)Horrible questions. Way too much content to cover. Conquest of Greece? Not in the syllabus.

Agreed, a) was way too abigious. I ended up writing about just about every single consul and general. Only way I could do it justive was with 15 pages of information. Greece is in there. Hellenisim is mentioned specifically. Ambigious dot point can also be linked like "impact of wars of expansion on roman politics, economy and society".

I wrote about three roman leaders; fabius, scipio and cato. i looked at fabius + cato as military leaders and counterbalanced it with cato and his conservative ideals etc.

Classical Greece is not about Hellenism I don't think? I thought the question was asking about Phillip V of Macedon and Antiochus III - looking at things like the aetolian league. i did not see connection to the economy, society and politics dot-point. It practially asked the same thing as the first question - the duration of the 2nd punic war. Really disappointed with the questions.

Greek World 500-440BC
Did question B for the Delian League's aims.
Very simple question. Had heaps of quotes, but I wasn't sure where to finish talking about it. I ended up just finishing my essay @ Peace of Callias and briefly mentioned what happened afterwards with Athens moving to an empire...

 

[vantastic]

I did Amenhotep III to Ramses II question B, the one on the foriegn powers but i don't think i went very well. good bye band 6

Cato? Wasn't he in number 3? I spent over an hour on it, and talked about everybody, fabius, scipio, micinius, macellus, longus, scipio's dad and uncle, flaminius and probably more. I basically just compared and contrasted the above.

 

[naisAtoN]

I did Greek World 446-399, question b. I was shocked (and happy) with how broad it was. After the Catholic Trial I was shitting myself thinking we'd get something uber-specific.

 

[InaudibleMelody]

I did Amenhotep III to Ramses II question B, the one on the foriegn powers but i don't think i went very well. good bye band 6

Same. I did question a but, I found it much easier to answer.. as I did not know anything with the external relationships between all the kings- the only thing I don't know out of all of.

The more I think about what I wrote for a, the more paranoid about it I'm getting.. I didn't really analyse.. I just described more.. and I didn't go into much detail.. I just talked about how each pharaoh after Akehnaten tried to not associate themselves with him etc. Ahh well, it's all over..

I feel kinda sad knowing I'll never do ancient again.. If I had to choose a favourite subject it would probably be it.

 

[Becccc]

wow, not that many people did Persia (Cyrus - Darius III) going by the looks of it. sweet.
full booklet on the significance of the building program. Almost exact same question as our trial.

 

[S o r - P o r]

I did the NK to death of R2. I dont know why i didnt choose the second question because it was basically my assignment.

Instead, I stuck to Amarna crap because of my mental state.

I don't think it was a very simple question that invoked a pure recount of events.

It was asking you to make a judgement 'to what extent'. Hence factors that DIDN'T fulfill their aims should be considered ie stuff that happened during the transformation. The question had quite a huge scope of ways to answer it though.

 

[Book Freak]

I did question B on the Greek World 500-440 BC, was really easy for me
Do you think 5 cources was enough to mention though? :s

I Bloody wellhope so, cos I did about 2 (Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!) B was the Delian League one right?
