    HSC Modern History 2016 Marathon

    I can't crack the 23/25 barrier in Modern. I consistently achieve 23s and have got one 19/20 but the 24-25/25 for essays within exams continue to elude me. I would consider myself to be very well versed in the actual Sylabi so I think this is a perhaps a literacy or comprehension problem, how...

    Atar estimate

    They are completely unrealistic and inspire false hope.

    The real joke is the estimates on this forum

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    I'm competing with this one guy for 1st in Modern. I do at least 10x the work he does but he writes in this impenetrable academic jargon which gives the marker the impression that he might know what he is talking about, despite him having no idea. Obviously it's far more effective that my plain...

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    So am I. How far can you really get in English without reading your texts?

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    Yeah but critical thinking in the weakest sense of the term.

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    Not all subjects promote critical thinking to any degree, some are almost entirely rote.

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    I find that the subjects I am doing very much promote critical thinking, depends a great deal on what you do.

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    Deeply disappoints me that people do this. English is about fostering a relationship with English literature and its influences not only superficially in the artistic sense, but in the political and philosophical. From a purely academic perspective. If you do the same amount of work as someone...

    Conflict in Europe

    Anyone feel this is biased towards the west? There is a almost unconscious sense of parity between the battle of El Alamein and Stalingrad that similarly applies to the equalisation of "'D' Day" and the "Russian Counter Offensives" which BOS is perhaps referring to Operation Bagration. (Plus...

    Opinions on your character of study

    If she had a fixed dedication to the Nazi cause why didn't she join the Nazi party or help them in any real sense during Third Reich's largest conflict, the Second World War?

    Opinions on your character of study

    Your claims are the unsubstantiated ones. Leni protected a friend Eduard Kunneke's Jewish wife as well, orchestrated the release of Ernst Jager's Jewish wife from a concentration camp, and prevented Robert Herlth's (a colleague) Jewish wife from being arrested by the Gestapo. Quite anti-semetic...

    Opinions on your character of study

    Her criticism of Jews attacking her IMO is warranted. Her films are in no sense anti-semetic and she has never been herself. There has been a concerted effort by Jewish organisations to boycott her films, for no other reason that she was connected to the Third Reich. If everything connected to...

    Opinions on your character of study

    Doing Leni as well and I have to sympathise with her. You're a director and the bloke in charge of the country gives you the biggest budget for any film ever and virtually unlimited resources, do you take the moral high ground and refuse, perhaps at the penalty of death? Or do your eyes light up...
