Does anyone actually do these?

 

[= Jennifer =]

no...

i dont even look at my textbook not even for notes, our class notes are better much more easier to understand than heinemann

 

[Ziff]

We make notes from the textbook and occasionally get notes from the teacher in class...

Sign, I guess I'm going to have to rely on the good old internet this year for all my Legal Studies needs... hurrah for Wikipedia!

 

[~*HSC 4 life*~]

Wkipedia? ....do tell

yeah i agree heinmann is SHIZER! they make everything complicated when it's not...i agree with jen, class notes and listening to lessons r the best

 

[santaslayer]

try the excel hsc legal studies book...its rather siimple and consice

www.wikipedia.org
It's an online open-source encyclopaedia, it has a lot of American stuff in there which is still sort of relevant, especially when they talk about the historical basis of it in British law and they also have quite a bit of British stuff there too... even the odd bit of Australian law!

The biggest problem is you get off topic, away from the syllabus for hours and do nothing but read other law related stuff... a word of advice - DON'T GET LOST READING ABOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION! It's long, complex, huge, and extremely interesting lol

Heinemann sucks and doesn't cover some things properly, e.g. legal positivism, covered poorly. Look it up on yahoo or google and read the USYD article on it, that's really good.

What's the Maq. study guide like? I flicked through it and it looks better than Excel plus it's cheaper...

I had the McMillan. Never answered any questions from it, they were way out of reach to actually understand them.

 

[Tenille]

Yeah i have that textboook, the questions in there seem.. odd??
Never do them unless i have to

 

[adamj]

I just summarised the content of the sections.

Heinemann was way better than MacMillan. Macmillan sucked! I also used Longman which was good for some things. I did practice questions out of the Macqaurie and Excel studyguides.

 

[adamj]

Smart idea, that's another reason Ms 12 did very well in Legal Studies.

 

[Ziff]

My school had better give me my book vouchers soon or I'm going to snap!

Then I'll buy some study guides

 

[adamj]

Excel is very good.

 

[Tenille]

Ive got the Maquarie one, its been good when i have used it.

 

[MiuMiu]

Yeah Macquarie is very good (its law & society section lacks a bit, but not too bad), excel is good too (the best in the excel series, imo) but you definitely can't rely on one textbook for everything

 

[= Jennifer =]

yeah i have the macquarie one very helpful i am planning on buying the excel one soon

 

[adamj]

Good move

 

[SKA]

[MiuMiu]

[Tenille]
