Philosophy '08
« on: November 17, 2008, 09:13:31 am »
The nerves are starting to set in...

This is the first exam with the new study design, and although I did the practice on VCAA published and scored reasonably well, I'm worried haha.

I don't think there are many of you out there, but good luck!

(I don't know who I'm talking to when I say this, but anyway)

I found the exam quite hard; the practice exam with the new study design was so so so much easier than the real thing. I answered everything, but I have no idea of the quality of my answers. Traditionally, the exams have involved discussing what the philosophers think, and comparing their ideas. This exam was more focused on saying what you think, and then "Give reasons for your response." Not really a fan of that type of question.

Oh well, it's all out of my hands now, and I can only hope for the best. If there's anyone else out there who did it, I hope you did well.

Cheers for your notes they helped a fair bit

I agree there was heaps on what you think, which people who dont even do philosophy could have done. But then again they didn't exploti my weak areas like Nietzshce and I left out Popper in my essay so overall pretty happy.
