Haha thanks Susie for the shoutout!
Honestly the ATAR notes community in general (including yourself and the other moderators) has encouraged me personally to engage with other student's questions. This not only helps the student struggling with the question but I also see it as an opportunity to further develop my own understanding, like they say if you can teach it then you know it haha
This makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. You're an absolute legend man - and you've definitely hit the nail on the head there! It is one of the best ways to study (particularly skills revising) - exactly what I realised around this time last year with Modern History. Answering questions (trying my best to get in there before jake
) was such a good study method - a great way to break up the monotony of constant past papers, and solidify structure and skills in my head. Like if I could explain the purpose of a 'reliability test' in a source analysis, then I was never going to forget to include one! Of course such a bonus that you are able to help out so many other students in the process, and let me tell ya, your answer is going to help out so so so many, particularly around Trials!!
Thanks so much Susie! Really happy to try and help out-I know how hard a subject this is! This is actually really helping me with my knowledge-like we were in class last week and I instinctively went to answer one of my friends questions (and I don't normally talk a lot in class). We were doing revision stuff last week and I found that I knew heaps more then I thought . My trials start on Monday and I have nine exams so it's pretty stressful but I love how this community is able to answer any questions that I have.
So good! So glad that you are feeling more confident in class, because you definitely should be! Your answers are always absolutely fab (for anyone who isn't a regular on the history extension thread - Katie is pretty much a veteran question answers on there by now
). I know you are going to smash all of those exams, particularly that ancient and extension exam
Aayyy, shout out to you too for engaging with pretty much every thread I visit (history <3). Always a thoughtful, comprehensive response, especially in the debating thread for extension (supported by the fact that I haven't even finished reading it yet lol)
And I'm starting to see you more and more! Which is making me so happy - all of your posts make me smile
I'm so glad that I could be helpful, and particularly glad that you are enjoying the debate thread (a few arguments I've got to get to over this weekend!) - sosososo pleased that that thread is finally taking off <3
