    Possible questions for Heinrich Himmler?

    So the question i have chosen is "Assess the role of Heinrich Himmler in the implementation of the Final Solution." Any advice as to how i could make this a better question? I have done most of my research and my proposal is due in 4 weeks, so there is still time for change

    how significant are these early assessments?

    I feel as though in English i screwed up with a creative writing assessment and am looking at around 70%, i also didn't do as well as i would have liked in economics with an 85%. The weightings were 15% and 20% respectively, how much of a bearing does this have come this time next year?

    removal of time limits on exams

    If it is in reason, and there is a page limit, then i can't see why not. The idea is more practical and it brings out the full potential of some people. It also allows those that are slow writers etc. to show that they have the writing skill...

    Exam Results?

    Quality over Quantity...

    thanks mate. It is also the problem of me being able to do all the work and if the exam today was split up into the different topics and were done as separate assessments I would have no worry in the world of getting 90% plus. What is annoying me right now is that I know that i had so much more...

    Quality over Quantity...

    My Modern exam today has really been niggling at my mind. There was a fair amount of things that were covered along with an essay, four extended responses, and two usefulness and reliability. The problem i had was not with my structure or content, it was that i was unable to finish the exam. I...

    2009 Preliminary Yearly Results Thread

    umm each extended response was worth 15 marks, usefulness and reliability 10 marks each and holocaust essay was 25 marks. What i noticed after exam was that the top 2 students in the course finished it just in time (im currently ranked 5th) then the rest of the top 10 were unable to finish the...

    Israel and Palestine

    Re: Israel & Palestine The way i see it is that the Palestinians got the short end of the stick. The British promised to create an Arab state, yet they just picked up and left after the creation of Israel. The Palestinians have every right to be pissed off, my views have nothing to do with...

    Picking Up Ext. English in Year 12?

    That really annoys me, especially as I know i can do it and succeed. Just the other day i asked the legal teacher if i could have a past paper to do (I don't do legal) I gave it back a couple of hours later and she replied "even though you passed with flying colours, don't try to pick this up...
