International Politics

[Matt89]

I've lost all motivation to study...maybe if the exam was a little earlier.

haha so have I. With the recent weather, its just too hard. I'm hoping the rest of the state is lacking motivation like me

[rhcpfox1]

Amen to that.

Do you know how many people do International?

It's hard to gauge, there were just under 2000 who did it last year so I'm hoping that number is similar, less people to rely on being worse than me.

Not very many I would think, seeing as a lot of schools don't even offer it.

I'm so screwed on this exam all my friends have finished so I'm not exactly in the mood for studying lol

Plus there's just so much to remember!! Anyone else feel this way?

Know exactly how you feel.


The cricket has been on which almost inevitably leads to sleep, i fell asleep in my textbook yesterday!

There is a lot to remember, so I'm focusing mainly on Power in the Asia Pac as its the big one this year. I thought I'd also go over one Post Cold-War conflict, I'm concentrating on the breakup of Yugoslavia.

But soon it will all be over!

I can't get motivated to study and its too bloody hot. It better not be like this tomorrow. They had to move us for my german exam it was so hot it will be a pain if they do it again grr

omg another German student! How'd you go? the listening bit about the plane trips was funny "he'll need a thick pullover in January!"

did you find the write in German bit of the reading hard? I thought it was and readings my best part

ahem. on topic. I'm going thru all my notes now and thinking, farrrk I'm not gonna remember any of this

[Paulie]

Studying for this subject, due to the boring material and the timing of the exam, has become near impossible for me .

As you guys are saying, hope the rest of the state is lacking motivation too! I just want this crap to be over now. I'm over it.

[igs07]

Everyone is drained, I was just talking to my friend doing IP with me and we're both drained and over it he goes 'I hope everyone else in the state is drained' looks like they are, i've reach my limit

[rhcpfox1]

Sooo... how did everybody feel they went?


I thought it was alright, some of the questions caught me off guard and I just had to 'wing-it', like the Security Council question and most of the foreign policy section :oops:  I think my part B was o.k. though, i did question 2, but basically 2 and 3 were the same except one you had to evaluate effectiveness and one you had to do that but in reference to regional relationships.

Hooray it's over!

Hope everyone on FSN kills it and gets a 50

[ninwa]

I thought it was pretty good!

Except the UNSC one. I just made something up about that. I think I mentioned Iraq 2, for some reason.

I also did question 2! I've never written that much in any of my practices haha. 6 pages x.x my hand is killing me. Also I think I made up a couple of dates and numbers. Heh ... hope they don't check.

YAY IM FREEEEEEEEEEEE

mmm german was ok i mean it could have gone better but i'm not expecting anything really high in it. The listening part was great it was soooo much easier than in the prac exams. The first writing part was good but the second one wasnt great :s and my main thingy at the end made up so much cr*p i doubt i'll get a good mark in it. I did the theatre question the 1st one.


ok back to nash:
it was pretty good i think. I did the 3rd question for my essay and i was pretty pleased with it. Winged the UNSC question but afterwards i was thinking i'm pretty sure i would have got at least 2 marks for it. i skipped one 3 mark question in afp cos i had no idea and then didnt have enough time to go back without reading over my essay and i thought that was more important. im kinda glad i did now because there was a couple of small mistakes which i fixed up that could have lost me a couple of marks.

Anyway all over now, and have no idea what to do with myself. BRING ON SCHOOLIES!!

yer i thought it was good, didnt get to read over my essay, i know i screwed something up in that as i read the first para and a whole line was missing lol! ahh well its over now, i wrote 4 pages which is good i think...6 pages is massive!!!!!!

[igs07]

I did very well!  I did question 3 for asia-pacific, like someone said above, it was the same but there was something in 2 i didnt know.  the Security Council one was a left field one but I think I might have got atleast half the marks for it.  And the foreign policy question for 10 marks omg I screwed it I have no idea.  But apart from that, very well.

[ninwa]

What was the foreign policy 10-marker?

Was it the security - foreign policy - since 1996 one? That was a crappy question I'm not really sure what I talked about ........ I said something about terrorism and US bases in Australia and the East Timor/Solomon Islands problems.

:?

I hate Australian foreign policy

[flywithme]

i hate australian foreign policy too!

what did everyone write for the question about why ANZUS was still relevant even thought it was signed 50 years ago?

overall it was good
