VCE HHD Question Thread!

[heids]

Welcome anotherworld2b Are you doing HHD 1/2?  This sort of question would never, ever be on the HHD 3/4 exam.  Unfortunately my memory of 1/2 HHD was is rusty and we never had to learn that much anyway

Oh okay then
I'm not doing HHD but i was referred here from the biology question thread.This question is part of an assignment which is pretty difficult for me

Does Anyone know any acronyms for the SDG's?

Yeah that's understandably difficult :/  I don't know of any VCE study design that actually contains that content haha.

This post may help, scroll down for various ideas (the best is probably in the last reply to the thread): Change to HHD Study Design - Sustainable Development Goals

Can someone please explain to me how obesity is a form of malnutrition? Is it because you assume that obesity comes from eating energy dense foods that are lacking in nutrients?

Surely not everyone obese is malnourished - they may be eating lots of nutrient-dense foods *as well as* too much energy-dense foods.  But overall, it definitely is more likely that obesity comes from eating junk high-calorie foods rather than more filling lower-calorie fruits/vegies/etc --> malnutrition.

This has probably been asked before, but I want to start doing practice exams now and was wondering how many I should do each week leading up to the exam? And should I start off open book and then ease into proper exam conditions? Thanks

Personally with HHD I did nothing but VCAA exams (checkpoints-style before SACs) and the one school-enforced trial... that was all (50, so I guess it worked for me lol).  Instead, I focused on thoroughly learning all the memory-related content and practicing certain question types till I'd mastered them (e.g. 'What is the effect of ___ on health status?')  That doesn't mean that's The Way you should do it, of course!  You can do as many as works for you

About open --> closed book, yeah, that's often a good way to work - it depends how comfortable you are with HHD, if you find it reasonably easy then start closed book immediately

I have my sac for the SDG's on monday, how likely is it that there'll be a question about the 5 areas of importance/do I need to know them? (Peace/planet/prosperity/people/partnership). Thanks

What are two disadvantages of multilateral aid?

What are two disadvantages of multilateral aid?

Why not have a crack first? Then we can help fill the gaps. Do you have any ideas?

[randyz]

I have no clue with this one because I don't see anything wrong with it 😭😭😭

If anyone is looking for a mnemonic for Australia's Aid Priorities, I'm currently using -
Big
Intelligent
Apes
Eat
Greens
Everyday
Is anyone else struggling to remember these?? They're so wordy

Hey randyz,

Sorry about the wait. I really have no idea how I missed your reply. That was bad of me after my initial post. Anyway, it is a pretty tricky one, regarding multilateral aid. A couple of downfalls off the top of my head are:

- Those who need aid most may not actually be assisted, because multilateral aid typically goes toward larger cities and the like
- The aid may be less sustainable, particularly if the third party (the UN, World Bank etc.) isn't aware of that particular country's long-term needs

Hey everyone!
I was just wondering what kinds of questions would come up about NGOs?
And if a question asks to describe a program that focuses on HIV/AIDS for example, what must I include in my response to ensure that I get full marks for that question? Does anyone have a formula? 
Also, for the questions where you need to link something to global health, can you include the Physical, Social and Mental dimensions of health? Or just health status indicators?
Sorry for the drain!!
