Hi Elyse,
Just wondering what your recommendation or view is on preparing one depth study specifically for the extended response, and the other depth study specifically for the shorter answer responses.
DO NOT DO THIS!! AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!!
(Now ive got your attention ill turn off caps
)
You cannot narrow your study simply because you dont know what the question is. Say you study Paul of Tarsus for Christianity, and you think that will be the essay question only to get in there and it is ethics. Screwed now arent you? Or say you arent very good at bioethics, and you have chosen to specifically study Christianity for essay and the Islam for the short answers. You have essentially studied the following:
Christianity: Paul of Tarsus, bioethics, baptism
Islam: Aisha, enviro ethics, hajj.
Now the questions for the short answer are below
Christianity: 15 marks split on Paul of Tarsus, baptism
Islam: 15 marks split on Aisha, Hajj.
Essay Questions:
Christianity: Quote- how does this influence the lives of adherents in relation to bioethics.
Islam- Quote: how does this influence the lives of adherents in relation to enviro ethics.
You do not have the necessary depth needed for a 6 page essay (what you were planning for a 1- 1 1/2 pg response). So my advice:
Know all your depth studies equally well. You CAN TRY and get away with letting it slip for one (Islam, Sufism is mine) but you cannot narrow your study that much.
Hope ive changed your mind and actually made sense! Pls feel free to ask/clarify anything written above and if i have suddenly chopped off a sentence its coz i was going to go back to it and havent lol
