Title: Religion and Society/Text and Traditions
Post by: Odette on November 07, 2007, 06:46:45 am
Who here does these subjects, or has completed them in previous years, or even will be doing them next year?
Which tradition did/will you study?
What do you think of the subject?

Well I for one enjoyed unit 3 of religion and society (the search for meaning) but unit 4 was just sooooooooooooooo boring, reason being was that i've covered challenge and response from like year 8-12 and it gets boring..

All the very best on the exams :) and good luck to those who are doing it in the future :)

Yeah I'm only doing it because it's compulsory, it was either unit 2 religion or 3+4 religion and society, so i was like no point doing a unit 2 subject this year

did it last year and did okay but the subject is a biatch

a few suggestions

don't prepare essays, just keep an open mind about things. it is also a really good idea to make mind maps to link together the myriad of ideas for each of the topics.

don't overuse quotes, they look good but only if they are used in the right context

write like there is no tomorrow, i just finished the exam

don't worry too much if you don't think you did to well

i had a sinking feeling after the exam but still manage to get 35

good luck

Umm... probably to make sure you have a thorough understanding of the course, and the religion(s) you're studying. ^_^
Oh and possibly link belief and expression throughout your pieces. ^_^
