Re: Paragraph Length - Should I split each concept over two paragraphs, two texts eac Ok thanks! I haven't decided yet; do you reckon the markers will hate me for having a 3 page paragraph?

Thank goodness! Haha, such a relief to hear that, thanks so much :)

Thanks heaps for the reply! I think i'll include it just to be safe :)

Should you say 'Joseph Heller's 1961 novel Catch 22' etc? Or just not worry about the date, because mine looks a little bad because 3 of my texts are from 1961 and 1962, oops haha. I know i should've found ones which spanned the period more, but these ones worked best with what i was arguing...

Ok i know how there's no specific length a paragraph should be or anything, but my teacher said i should look at each of my concepts/arguments in relation to each of my four texts (two prescribed/two related). This is going to end up making each paragraph 600 words! Is it better to keep it...

The idea with multiple choice is to pick the MOST correct answer. The whole reason organisms need to keep a constant internal environment is so that they can function properly. Proper functioning requires full metabolic functioning. Metabolic reactions are catalysed by enzymes. Enzymes function...

Ok so for all the people who haven't read through this forum and realised that pretty much EVERY question that people aren't sure of has been discussed and solved (except the punctuated equilibrium because there's still debate about that), here's a summary of the main issues and their solutions...

If they did look at this, as enoilgam said it would be an analysing question. Perhaps 'Assess the impact of the way the Weimar government dealt with early threats on the [ultimate collapse of the republic] OR [growth and rise of the Nazi party].' So basically they'll probably take one dot point...

I think it's really likely that they'll ask one about League of Nations because it's never been assessed. Something along the lines of 'Evaluate the impact of the failure of the League of Nations and collective security in the growth of European tensions that led to the outbreak of war.' For...

But there ARE transitional fossil forms that have been found apart from the usual archeopteryx and crossopterygian, we have the COMPLETE fossil record of the horse, including its transitional forms. This in itself supprts punctuated equilibrium.

These were my exact predictions! I'm really hoping with the Weimar one that it's based on the collapse of it, i don't really care what they emphasise too much because whichever one they do, I just say yes that had an impact (give some indication to the degree of the impact) then say BUT it alone...

Well i'm just finishing my hsc this year, and i dropped down to 10 units as soon as i could. Personally i found the idea of doing 12 units as a back up to be a negative perspective, and allows you to fall into the mindset of not having to do that well because you have a backup. This could...

This. Macquarie doesn't even mention anything about the fossil record. I had C but i didn't realise at the time that they were probably insinuating that there are many fossils showing this rapid change, when there aren't. I just think it was a stupid question because this wasn't even looked at...

Exactly. Extension is about concepts, not texts - your texts are there to supplement/support your discussion of the concepts of the module. The reason they could do it in Module B was because the module WAS the text/texts (being a critical study). I do After the Bomb and i'm really hoping...

It's more about the dominant concerns and thoughts of people (paradigms) within this period (Cold War/After the Bomb) and how these are shown in your prescribed and related material - hence the title of the module 'Texts and ways of thinking'. Hope that helped! Also, i would seriously...

The thing with the punctuated equilibrium question is that the answers were sort of vague; because c) said 'The fossil record shows that there are periods of rapid change in fossil forms', which there are (it doesn't say that we see the transitional forms, but just that there is a rapid change...

Tbh, no one from my school even knew this skills section existed! We were given a copy of the syllabus for each module and i thought that was all we had to know :S I'm really annoyed about the data logger thing, because we never used, or even discussed it! It's just frustrating when you spend so...

They pretty much always specify to only use 2, so unless they ask specifically for 3, i'll just use 2. You can go into way more depth :)

Well at first i was going to try to go to bed no later than 10.30, but after having two nights of about 3.5 hours sleep, and two nights of 5 hours (each for the night before a morning exam), i've given up. I now aim for 11, because there's just no point for me going earlier. I've had insomnia as...
