Anyone want to take a punt on the content of this year's source or the questions? I think it could relate to something on the History Wars this year, and the question might perhaps link to either methodology and approaches to history.

lol, I wouldn't think so. If I were to ask any of my friends that do Physics, they would not even bother with History at all. All they can think of is just massive content and essays after essays after essays. But thats whats so good about History :)

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Not really, my Modern teacher's pretty good. And my History Extension teacher, who also teaches Mod, is very passionate and dedicated... she would not take a day off if we had a lesson. I did Germany, Speer and the Pacific. Though, Conflict in Europe would have...

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Boer War as in South Africa? And yep, they're modules. If you're dissatisfied with your modules, theres always the possibility of doing them on your own. Only if you're motivated and got bucketloads of interest :)

Did we all get 4-paged booklets?

Time constraints I guess.

Re: What's Yr 12 Modern like? Yep, definitely. I personally found WWI to be deadset boring, along with most people I think. But as you progress through the year and go through the National, Personality and International Studies, thats when it gets fun :) What modules are you doing?

Re: How was modern Exam? lol, the problem was that 4 pens ran out after 3h :(

Re: How was modern Exam? My hands were smudged with ink :/ And nearly every pen that I used ran out lol.

Talked about Speer being a winner- rise through ranks from obscurity, close friendship with Hitler, escaping the Death penalty.... and related to what means he went thru to achieve this 'success' - slave labour, demolishing of Jew flats, Final Solution blah blah blah.

Re: Howd you find it? And desertions?

Re: Howd you find it? Pretty good exam. I started off by planning my answers and that took about 10 mintues. And then Personality Study. Pretty good q's imo. Then Germany - totalitarian Q ftw :D I looked over my essay for that in the morning, but didn't really expect it. And then Conflict in...

The actual social independence of women and the benefits from the war is debatable, but their contributions were crucial to the war effort. It really depended on the class and social status of women, as there was a difference for working-class women as opposed to middle-class and upper-class...

Outline the reasons for the stalemate on the Western Front.

Just forms part of the instability and political machinations that led to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor.

Well once the Depression set in, you've got more people in the general population voting for the extremist parties, who seemed to offer a better alternative to the SDPs and parties that supported democracy. And you have to remember that von Schleicher was a leading army rep who exerted a great...
