Can I retake a course after graduating? Like a single (1) course and if so will it affect my ATAR?

How does it feel to be free
Pretty good - would def recommend it. Best part is I get to try guess my HSC marks now and nervously put them into atar calculators for the next 6 weeks or so while freaking out about my atar. Gonna clean my room for the first time since I started study for HSC and throw all my school stuff out.

Did anyone do history extension?! What did u guys think of the questions?
Section 1 was awesome, it related super closely with my major work (Historiography of Twitter) and was a good question overall. Source B was really useful for me, I didn't really understand Source A so I just refuted it and said it was limited in it's representation of the role of the historian as purely "academic".

Section 2 was kinda confusing though, 2 debates and a hella short source? And "squishy ground"? That's on the same level as "nailing jelly to the wall" and "history is not a screw". Still managed to explore the idea of historical debate fairly decently though, although my integration of the source probably sucked. Curious to see how it goes.

What about you?

I found the complete opposite ahaha, found section 1 really difficult but section 2 fit in really well with our topic (origins of christianity), since all the debates in there are basically about historians trying to make sense of iffy, obviously biased facts.
w section 1 I started the essay and midway through I realised oh shit I don't agree with my own judgment but ended up having to go with it anyways and hoped it didn't show in my essay lol. hopefully it turns out okay, I'm more worried about disappointing my teacher than about my mark lmao

Yes lol that was me as well liked the second one hated the first- I was sorta confused on what evaluate the significance even meant (for q1). Like were we supposed to say whether it was a good or bad influence or just say how much of an influence? (I did the second one) but we can’t do anything about it so guess we’ll just wait and see!
