rofl am l the only one who did the enlightenment historians (gibbon/von ranke) because their the only ones l studied D:

l felt like l sat a different exam from you guys lol

I used Von Ranke

I found Q1 to be quite tricky simply because of the historians I'd studied - very few postmodernists, and I knew NOTHING about the History Wars - I did a lot of work on ancient historians instead, so translating the question was quite difficult. Hopefully it turns out alright in the end. In other news, it was my last exam!! *Dances*

I did Ranke too! With Bloch and Bede.
What is Post Modernism? Our teacher never taught us that! Woops....
The Second question was pretty good for JFK! Wrote about 9 pages each
Thank god HSC is overrrrr!!!

Hey i did both Gibbon and Ranke for the first part!! I started off my argument with some nonsense interpretation of what Foner was saying, but developed a thesis as i went on, so i guess it was ok - wrote 9 pages

The second question sucked according to me, didnt lend itself to an analysis of methodology or context of historians in the Tacitus case study. Not a horrendous source, just not the best they could've given us. Its funny because i looked at the past HSC papers and all Section 2 quotes were pretty decent, except 2008! And this years quote was very similar to the 08 one so yea..=/ Wrote 8 pages

ITS OVERRRRRR THOUGH =D

I did exacty what you did!!!!

 

[Morgan1234pooki]

[Galladrim]

Had so much to talk about.

It's over now!!!!!

Loooved Question 1 - it was kinda different so it allowed you to be a bit creative. I talked about Herodotus, Bede, Ranke, Renaissance historians (Machiavelli), Martin Bernal, Carr and Elton.

Question 2 was shit for the crusades - not pleased haha but I think I got through it okay.

Question 1 - I referred to E.H.Carr mostly and then some for Herodotus and then a little on Natelie Davis.Only write 5 and half pages for this but well over 1000-words. I even counted!

Question 2 - I waffled on this with JFK a lot.I didnt really link it the question a lot and just went on about JFK and the debates.Wrote 7 pages worth of waffling on.

THANK GOD HSC IS OVERRRRR.
