wait theres basically no hope omg

literally, its like we literally needed to experience this in order to remember

This is so true bro. When you read through the syllabus, you think “oh there isn’t a lot of dot points” but each dot point needs 3 lessons to be covered each.

yeah fr its probably why i enjoy p+h the most, prolly cause it hardly has any quotes and its like general knowledge of archaeologists + cultural life

Yes omg and I actually like studying their ways of life. Greek world is Boring because I sersisouly do not care what tactic they used in what war. Sparta is also interesting because their generally weird And Agrippina is meh.

agrippina i'm pretty confident on, mostly cause the questions are pretty formulaic. most likely there's something on her early life as a short response, and the big 15 marker either on impact/legacy, or on the assessment of her character influencing her time

i do sparta and aggy too, sparta is the biggest drag of all time, i keep getting it mixed up with pompeii and herculaneum and its so dry

yep we do sparta as well, tho instead of greek world we do julio claudians cause it marries up perfectly with agrippina.

same with the augustan age except there is an insane amount of sources and stuff to remember

nice, i can hardly remember ancient / modern historian quotes + names for sparta. my teacher is telling me to integrate ancient, modern and archaeological evidence as my sources. all i remember is "asses under great loads" about the helots

 

[thelmalouise]

HAHAHAH, and our grade average is sooooo bad too so theres nothing dragging us up

 

[chlolowery11]

what does anyone predict Julio CLaudian essay will be on??

rip, im lowkey dreading tomorrow cause looking back last year's paper wasn't all that tough. i hope that doesn't mean they're going to beef up this year's one, even if it makes scaling in our favour

Oh yeah you can definitely bring in a skeleton response and easily adapt it to the question.

lets gooo another fellow julio claudian studier. they always give us two options to pick from. my guess?
option 1 - importance/impact/significance of the praetorian guard
option 2 - expansion/consolidation based question

i also imagine they would like to alternatively throw a curveball where it's 'assess the reign of X' and we have to compare him to the other princeps

Ok then im failing this... i honestly dont know anythingggggg

 

[nitto]

im not, because i feel like it screws you over if you prepare things that arent flexible. you need to be able to remember all your key evidence and readily assign it to the question youre given

 

[Serenawilder]

I am only doing that for Greek world

you wont fail, just try looking over the syllabus (download from online) and look at what sources fit each point
