Look I know it's hardly a subject but....

[ben4386]

you did?! how? lol

bit of work throughout the year, but i didnt really do that much. 5 or so practice exams and some reading. Good advice is to do your own research, dont just rely on the book.

To the person who thinks you can rote learn the subject think again, look at the past exams, practically 50% of the exam was unseen data. Last years was an exception probably 25%. Hardly any of the questions they ask you are text-book style questions, a hell of a lot of it is application

Hey!
have you got any tips on doing well in the Geo exam??!!
Because my teacher reallllly sux!!!
He completed a bachelor of Arts which makes him (technically) eligible to teach any humanities subject. (thats what he said) He didn't even study the subject (geo) at uni only at yr 12!!!!!
So i have a teacher who has never taught the subject nor has he ever taught a VCE subject!!!
Please help me!!!!!!

Can someone post MDB notes?

[bethness]

Hey,

I'm doing geog and loving it.  Anyone got any predictions what might be on the exam? or more prac exams to do? I've run out

[Chihiro]

I reckon it'll be a bit harder than last year. Umm I think they'll pull some swifty with the local resource, like a left of field question- all questions relating to it have been way too easy. Human population I'd imaine would have an interpretational question. Ummm not sure what else. In the lecture I went to, they stressed the importance of knowing how to use the 'higher order' spatial concepts such as spatial interaction and spatial change over time, so I'm learning a lot about them, like where they fit in to each area of study.

[nickalaz]

does anybody have any good summaries or info about CONFLICT over water use in the MDB?

[theduck]

Is anyone else doing desertification as their global phenomenon?
