Re: Thoughts on CAFS HSC Exam 2014

I liked it. I didnt like the male 5 marker question, and the 15 marker. It was very poorly worded. Also what did you guys write for the 7 mark research paper question? I wrote about title pages, contents page etc...is that right?

Same! I think if you made remotely any reference to adoptive, foster etc you should be fine. Most people fucked up the question TBH. I'm just glad its over!

The report writing question is how you write analysis for irp you need to link it back to primary and secondary research impact it had on hypothesis whether it changed and relevant image or graphs to support it it had to be clear cohesive with a body intro and conclusion

but the answer should be related to male role model and that kind of stuff, decreasing gender stereotype etc T.T a teacher in another school just confirmed that.

Re: Thoughts on CAFS HSC Exam 2014

You guys wrote about presentation
title page, contents, abstract,acknowledgement, body of report-literature review, research methods, analysis and discussion, summary and conclusion. bibliography and appendices. and explain each one briefly i guess

I said something like that. I said in conclusion determine if hypothesis was correct, in primary secondary use sources blah blah. I roughly wrote about it. Shit, I completely fucked up! What did you write for the male 5 marker? I did it wrong.

I think the question was worded very poorly. Or maybe I am saying that coz I am mad, but whatevs. When I read "implications" and "social parenting" I immediately thought of the social implication of foster etc. I'm going to verify this with my teacher and get back to you, because I am having a heart attack.
