I used 'Making and Breaking the Law' last year and the exam marking allocation for it's questions are awful. There is no way that would be 6 marks, 4 marks at most.
No idea!!! That's not exam-style marking. Firstly, 'outline' is 1-2 marks. Secondly, that question on the exam has historically been worth 1-2 marks. I think the textbook is probably just giving you 1 mark per item of content to encourage you to put the 'LH' down, plus 'HoR' as the *name* of the LH. That would total six things to say. But it's not exam-style.
Thanks guys! Cleared up my confusion!
I think my teacher is a really nice guy and I can easily have a conversation with him, but I'm not liking his teaching methods. He spends half the session writing notes on the bored, and I feel like he's wasting my time.
His notes are bare minimum and I don't feel anywhere near satisfied that he is covering all that we need to know.
I'm going to make my own notes, but my only worry is that the study design doesn't give us exactly what we need to know?
Eg.Principles of the Australian parliamentary system: responsible government, representative government and separation of powers
I understand we need to know that, but not WHAT we need to know about them
I'm making notes based on the SS dot points, but I still feel my notes aren't as concise as they should be (feel like I am still adding stuff I might not need to know)
Can anyone offer advice? Much appreciated
Edit: I'm also using tmaclegal.com and his videos to take notes, and I feel they're so much better than my teachers. Are they worth using?
