Higher Modern Studies 2012-13: Discussion and Help Thread

i thought that but i didnt. i said something about how they can reach agreements in disputes so thats inportant for decision making, then i balanced wit a paragraph about how its moving away from cabinet meetings to 'presidential style couch approach' then i said that insider groups are more likely to have the pm's trust on specific matters:/
wthat a fail?:/

same!!! I'm just going to put them in a folder too scared to get rid of them haha

I've already got them all in a HUGE leaver arch file. I swear, it would be enough to kill someone if dropped from high enough!

What topic do your school do for AH?

hahaha yeah I think when I put everything in, which I don't think will fit haha! ahh uhm I think we do crime and law wbu?

It depends how much you have written and how well you have argued your point. I would say an essay with 2 well argued points would get maybe 8/9 marks at max? However a poor essay would fare much worse.

I didn't finish my health and wealth essay, but I think the maximum they'll be able to give without a conclusion is a 7. I'm not entirely sure, however, so it would be best to speak to your teacher about it.

Comparative politics, I wish we did the EU one but i've not found any school that do it! The crime one really doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

Okay I done 2 arguments so this has put me more at ease !

Ahhh! I'd like to do comparative politics! What is the EU course about? like what's in it? I'm actually quite interested in crime and law! Excited to see how it goes!

I didn't finish my electoral essay okay thanks!

Introductions and conclusions don't matter!

Just realised that I spelt "rebuttal" incorrectly in the DME. Doh!

A brief concluding sentence is usually nice to tie the whole essay up but it is not necessary I guess. And one sentence at the start is good to set out your line of thought.

Anyway it is too late to think about what we could have done .

More voting systems though, yay...
Well obviously it depends on what topics your school does, but I know there's stuff about EU enlargement and the UK's role in it as well as its role in social development etc.
Haha yeah I'm actually really looking forward to 6th year - finally I can do subjects I actually enjoy!

I just checked the marking schemes for the DME and it doesn't mention that you don't pass or loose any marks if you don't use all the sources, the most important thing to them is your back ground knowledge.
