    His Ext Major Work - 2013

    @History 101 - the teacher does not need to read the book. If the project is done well then any realtivley compedent student of history should manage to decipher it. Please all remember that you may thoroughly enjoy your subject matter and may have a vast knowledge of it, but that (sadly)...

    Essay writing

    His Ext Help

    Certainly provide context for your content, what the historians views points on it (though don't be excessive) and of course why and how they hold these views. I shall rephrase my earlier remarks: REMEMBER be wary of how much you write in terms of content.

    His Ext Help

    REMEMBER You are not supposed to talk content, merely what the historians views are, how they come about, how they are shaped by their temporal context etc etc etc. I got 23/25 for my Major this year...

    How did we go on the CCSA Trial?

    Title. I felt the first question was worded to be purposefully tricky. Despite that it was easy to tact on what 'needed' to be said. The second question I felt was a sinch. It was very easy to bend your essay to the question and was very much what the entire case study was all about, so it...

    Who should win the next election

    He promised something, pushed into it by the kitchen cabinet, and called it 'the greatest moral challenge of our time'. You fly the flag for you believe in, that means, going to DD.

    What are the most interesting facts you have learned in Modern History?

    That A.J.P Taylor thought it inevitable, given the 'unnatural' developments of German history, that there would National Socialism / Hitler. This is called the Sonderweg thesis.

    Who should win the next election

    2pp was up, yes. But the satisfaction question was in the 30's.Of course the satisfaction question means nothing really (like who is the preferred PM, ugh), but this combined with Rudd'd 'great backflip' put him in an untenable decision...
