National Politics '10
sgeorge:
The Indigo Handbook for VCE National Politics Unit 3 and 4, but it seems to be more of a study guide, so I'm thinking about getting a copy of power and national politics.

I was as enthusiastic as you this time last year, I knew very little about the Australian or US political systems so I did a lot of research over the holidays. Sites like Wikipedia and the Australian government websites helped, and I also read some books.
good luck, I found it a really enjoyable subject (for the most part, I got a bit sick of it later in the year:P)

Thanks. I might take you up on that offer a bit later in the year.
I'm glad it was overall a good subject :)

Never thoguht I'd see the day this thread was revived, we just need to make sure the oxygen keeps flowing throughout the year =P
I've already offered my support to Nic, and SGeorge and anyone else that does the subject feel free to ask as many questions you want on the boards/threads/PM, i'll ensure I'll answer them ASAP :)

Definitely get power and national politics. It's only like $46 +delivery if you need it. The Indigo thing is good to give you ideas and stuff, but it's definitely not enough on it's own. Personally, I found it an interesting subject, but domestic policy gets a bit tedious and I think I just put so much work into it that I got sick of it towards the end of the year. I thought I was going to do really badly because I didn't do much study later in the year but somehow I survived: )

We got given a copy of some pages out of that book and 'Power and National Politics' on the constitution and to be honest, I found that the Indigo book was very much based on the assumption that people had prior knowledge about it (which wasn't the case in my class for two or three students). I much prefered Power and National Politics.
Nova and/or schmalex, which textbook did you use and what was it like?

I'm sure there'll be plenty of oxygen flowing through this thread, particularly when it starts nearing exam time.
Thanks for clearing up the differences up between the books. More book purchases! :D
