HSC Modern History Question Thread
chuckiecheese:
So my half yearly's are in a week. The core and Germany from 1919-1939. In the second essay question, I will have a choice (presumably), between Weimar Germany and Nazi Germany. Should I choose the Nazi question or the Weimar question? Will my marks be disregarded if I chose one over the other?
Just a thought.
Cheers

Hey!
So I'll just quickly summarise the general trend in terms of assessment/marking for each question. The crux of it is that it really doesn't matter which you choose: go with the one you are stronger with! However, there are definite points to make for each.
Weimar: Generally considered the 'easier' question. This isn't always the case, obviously, but usually more students choose this question than the Nazi question. As such, it is marked more harshly, a lot of the time. That being said, it usually is easier, so despite the harder marking you'll still do well as you will write a great essay. Remembering that more students choose this section, try to have a unique thesis!
Nazi: Generally considered the 'harder' question. This isn't always the case, obviously, but usually less students choose this question than the Weimar question. As such, it can be marked "more easily" some of the time. However, often coming up with a sustained thesis is difficult, so if you have trouble with this sections stick with Weimar.
So, in the end, it's whichever you prefer/are stronger in. If you are exactly as confident in both, I generally choose the Nazi question as fewer students do it. But really, it doesn't matter that much!
Hope this helps!

Hey Man,
Did you do extension history? It would be great if someone could beef up that forum on this site!

Hey :)
I have an essay for my midcourse on To what extent was the collapse of the Weimar Republic the result of the Depression
I've submitted a draft to my teacher and she suggested I add in some info about the Dawes and Young Plan. How does this tie in? Is it just that foreign banks couldn't continue to assist due to the Depression?
Thanks so much
