can they nominate? (1 Viewer)

[jibba]

hey fellow ext history people.

having just rang the advice line, im now kind of freaking out!

contary to what my class teacher said, the guy on the advice line reckons that in the case study ( mine is JFK) that they can nominate the focus areas that you have to discuss for example man and myth, public and private, indochina or kruschev.
whilst i would be sweet for man and myth/public and private and indochina i would be screwed if they nominated kruschev.

is every one else aware of this? do you think they could nominate. i mean they can if the wanted

ahhh so scared now

I dont think they can do this, as the Question is the same for each case study - therefore not allowing them to specify. They haven't done it before, and i dont think this year they would change.

They have never specified in a case study - the only specification is regarding the question itself. Although this is not the case in Q.1. long answer short: they can't and won't.

theres too many options for them to specify a different question for each topic...there would be pages and pages of exam for about a quarter of the page u needed to get your question. i highly doubt they'll do it...and if they do, this year better not be the year

 

[laracroft]

technically they can do it, just like in english they could have specified which frontline episodes u had to discuss,
but they've never done it b4
but trusting the board of studies, i wouldnt rule it out completely

 

[Suspense]

Never done it before and I'll eat my computer if it happens tomorrow. There's 20 something case studies so they'd have to go through and do that for each one. If they do, I'm screwed as I've only learnt 2 out of the 4 (or is it 5??) issues in mine.

 

[ujuphleg]

generic question for all case studies: hence, answer = NO.

 

[senso]

im certain they won't

 

[silvermoon]

dude, they COULD do lots of things. the advice line guy can't give you advice that you could then turn around and say was misleading. the real question is would they do it? and the answer is no.
