well i was gonna memorise all my notes like the trials, but it takes too long to construct an answer in the exam, so i was thinking of memorising all the different possible essays!!! doubt i will finish em all but. as for SAQs, im fukd for that.sullyman said:I wouldnt try to memorise everything now, only small details or passages if you think you need to.
The goal (well my goal now) is to make sure i have everything i can stored in my brain in the simplist ay possible. I think simplisity is the key. If you keep things simple when you look at them again you dont have to deconstruct them all over again like the first time you read them.
Also, you can try and link information across the religous traditions or areas:
e.g both the jews and the christians take most of there ethical teachings from the ten commandments also known as the decalogue.
I find learning like that is the most efficient way (for me anyway).
Umm quotes i really would dwell upon much only becasue the examiners are more so looking for variations in the variants views. I would only go for one maybe 2 at most really good quotes addressing the general idea of the essay as a whole.dolbinau said:How many quotes should we have to support our essay?
naa, saq's are pretty easy, as long as you know your long responses the saq's should be cake. Considering all you have to do is write like 3 pages all up for the whole set of questions a brief answer with hardly any in depth analysis should do the job.mathslover said:well i was gonna memorise all my notes like the trials, but it takes too long to construct an answer in the exam, so i was thinking of memorising all the different possible essays!!! doubt i will finish em all but. as for SAQs, im fukd for that.
bummer i just talk about the religion generally...:Ssullyman said:Umm quotes i really would dwell upon much only becasue the examiners are more so looking for variations in the variants views.

Umm id probably go like 4 variants (considering for chrisitianity they all have the same view its ok to remember) like just remembering the anglican, catholic, protestant and uniting church of christs veiw that way you get a large range of veiws and some arguments between the varients.dolbinau said:Oh ok. That's not much. Thanks - in that case, how many variations in views should there be.
And is this brushed over?
TBH I really don't know what to do for the essays; for Bioethics trial essay ended up almost being an extended response for Biology, lol.
I explained a technology+religious view. Is that it really? (Multiple issues though and multiple views, but I mean, is there anything else?)
The general idea is good in itself but the only problem is that pretty much everyone who takes this subject seriously will only do that. If you chuck in a "modern buddhists" view for example followed by the general buddhist cohorts view, it'll show alittle more flair and the examiner will be like "whoa this student knows their work".mathslover said:bummer i just talk about the religion generally...:S
is that wrong?
or i say something like, "howwver, some Buddhists believ"
or, "Modern Buddhists believe..."
is that right?

Lol then i guess there's no way around that one then, maybe brining quotes into that one would help but i wouldnt go overboard. I dont do that religious denomincaton but id probably stick to where they are getting there views from and why they believe it is the correct way to be. Also how the adherents lives are affected by the views, maybe?? but id go to the teachings for that onemathslover said:Thanks
there arent any opposing views for Hinduism though.:S

Irrelevant posts and threads make searching and indexing a nightmare...hence my desire to keep things neat.
But enough, I have gone off topic myself and thats not helpful!
