Is anyone doing 5 units of history? (1 Viewer)

[iceman_leith]

I'm doing modern, ancient, and extension and boy is it challenging, but so worth it, i reckon history is the bomb...

nope. i was going to but i dropped modern. so for the hsc i am going to be doing 3 units.

* i dont think it would be that challengeing though ( doing 5 units of history?!?!?) because if you didnt you would have to do other subjects like chemistry or ecos. or something.

i think doing 5 history would be helpful actually as you could use the skills learnt ( ie evidence and sources) to help you with the other histories you do

glad you are liking your history ( history freak!) hehe)

hey i do 5 units of history and am only one in my year that does. i absolutly love history so i think its just the best.

it is a real challenge though because its all based on facts and essays and there are so many dates so i dont really think u could say it is any easier

but when u love it i dont think that matters as much

[charmed_cuties]

really 5 units is a lot, i'm doing 3 units doing ancient history + history extension well my history extension class onyl has 4 people and 2 of them do 5 units of history
well i like history but modern history turns me off with revolutions, wars and modern politics. i seriously cannot stand modern, especially wen i had to do compulsory australian history, it was literally boring 4 me

 

[Sarah168]

modern history does not touch on australian history at all.

 

[Tenille]

*shudders* I would drop modern

 

[charmed_cuties]

yeah i noe that it doesn't touch on that but i dunnoe modern doesn't seem to interest me thats all, i'm only using the yr 9 and 10 on australian history as an example of modern, the only thing i'm really interested in is conspiracy theories and revolutions

Yr 9 and 10 history isnt a very good indicator of senior modern actually

You might not get many conspiracy theories but you do get revolutions

precisely why i chose it

 

[super katie]

yeah i'm doing 5 units, there are a few people in my year who do 4 but they really didnt want to do extension

I do five units of history also. But I don't mind it so much because I love it. I'm currently in first place in Ancient, second in Extension, and third in Modern. I thought about dropping a subject but then realised that I just didn't want to leave any of my history courses because I actually enjoy all of my history classes and have a real knack for it so I figured I may as well do five units.

I'm also the only one in my year grade who does five units of history. I just realised that. Everyone else at most does three units besides me

 

[poodle]

i do 5u! historys the best.

 

[Persephone87]

I'd die if I did Modern, its just a completely different way of thinking! Plus I am not interested in any 'history' past 1900. That for me is too much like contemporary context.
