CLASSICS 2015? ANYBODY OUT THERE?
Fayne:
Hey Ashjam, I think it honestly depends on your likes and dislikes. There is quite a bit of reading and it requires extensive answers to questions. Right now I am studying the Illiad by Homer- Book 1 and 3 along with other texts. I think that if you are interested in history, back in ancient times of Greece you will have an interesting time. You will study themes in the book, honor, relationships between the gods and mortals as examples along with the socio historical parts of it. Classical studies also requires a lot of thinking, I realised there is more to it than it seems, as along with that you analyse the texts... [Athena is awesome, btw.] From what I know of the end of year exam [Unit 3&4] there is an essay that you write that takes up a lot of time. You could always have a look through study notes or other websites to see if the Iliad interests you.

Also, will anyone be doing it and would they be interested in doing the occasional catch up to discuss the work?! Hahah let me know!!

It sort of depends. With Classics I know i rely equally on my teacher's input as i do on the observations my classmates make; it's kind of like lit in that sense - you can bounce ideas off other people; that's not to say you cant do i t by distance ed. tons of people have done that and been fine. Ultimately you've just got to brainstorm a lot more and dig deep with analysis/ideas. goodluck!

I got my results for the sac back. Is a 37/50 good enough?

I think I did okay! thanks! :)
I just got my sac back today and I got 31/50. Pretty satisfied with myself considering it was the first one, and I was afraid how I would do on it!
I was also wondering thaaanyan, is Legal Studies very content based and would you have to know things from Unit 1/2? Because I feel like I should've done Legal instead of Bio, because I'm doing so bad with bio! ARGH. regrets :( :'(
