    Any tips on which article(s) to focus on for the end of White Australia? The Kelly Article from week 1 gave me a pretty good overview, but I'm still working at condensing notes, and there's a lot of reading for lecture 4...

    If you did all of White Australia then it should count for two topics. I'm doing the rise and skimming the fall as my back up

    Matthew Jordan: 'The Reappraisal of the White Australia Policy against
    the Background of a Changing Asia, 1945-67'

    It's in the folder SEMINAR 4. UNDERSTANDING THE END OF WHITE AUSTRALIA

    Oh yeah, know where it is. Have alllll the articles printed and in piles on my floor/desk:'(. Just wondering which was best for general overview, since I just spent about 5 hours going through the notes slowly and rewriting key bits for the rise... don't have that much time left for this + backup topic... eep... Lots of thanks anyway!

    (edit: wait, I was intending to study from Lecture 4... hmm... I suppose the facts are the same, just different tones/explanations? I'll take a look ayway!)

    Well I read that one and the Kelly one, and I feel I have a good understanding of White Australia, the rise and fall :) Took about 10 pages worth of notes from reading them !

    Gonna get reading on the Great Betrayal now and I reckon that'll be enough.

    BTW is there any benefit at all in watching Letters from Iwo Jima? :D Was thinking of watching that in bed, but I won't bother if it's a waste of time :p Any educational benefit?

    It's a good film, but nothing to do with your night before cramming. Just sleep =P

    9 lectures/seminars, 9 questions... You reckon there'll be a bonus question directly related to the content of the film? =P

    Nope. But one of the seminars was about how media representation from both Japan and America helped in the post War era with a reading based on Letters from Iwo Jima that was mandatory ;)

    Brimmy you're closing in on post no. 1000

    use it wisely

    edit

    Okay you did it... I don't think you put alot of thought into it though :(

    yeah, but... still... watching the film is a less productive use of time right now than doing the reading, or even watching a couple clips of the film on youtube to get the general gist of the way it portrays them... I just don't think it's worth the time investment at this stage...

    y'know...in the same way boards.ie is worth it :o

    Actually, I'm noticing that both the thread and me are nearing the 2000 mark... I'm either going to have to take it up a notch with posts all over the place in the next few days, or slow down when this thread dies post exams, and never reach my goal...

    Frak!

    I noticed that earlier and was going to make a big deal about it. Thanks for someone noticing it though.

    I suppose it was special though seeing as I helped you out and lawyered somebody in the process so it certianly wasn't the worst 1,000 post. I'm just under 1/16th the man you are now.

    This thread will never die.

    Even though large parts of our Class and many old and famous Students have fallen or may fall into the grip of Graduation and all the odious apparatus of Growing up, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Exams, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Knowledge, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Class or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Lecturers beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Recession, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New Class, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the thread.

    Oooh in what? I was going to apply for one in History but decided I couldn't cheat on English like that, even if it rejects me this year... which it better not.


  • Registered Users Posts: 95 ✭✭FishTaco

    Sure no problem! But if you hear snoring during the exam it'll be coming from me...

    Got my a4 page and a half each for both subject. Time to learn them off now and reread lecture/seminar notes for my back up question.

    Haha I don't know where my digital camera is. I can email you a ****ty webcam picture but doubt it would show up as I had to write small.

    Ha... S'okay... I mostly wasn't being serious. Though wish I'd condensed my notes better/done exactly what you did all day instead of procrastinating.

    Right...back to the desk, working flat out 'til 2, decide then how much sleeping.

    Good luck guys!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭Brimmy


    If it helps I procrastinated like crazy today. Meant to get up at 9, got up at 12. Started reading at 2....read the combined total of 3 pages till 4. Read a good bit then. Started notes around 7, just finished at 11.

    Rereading over my Singapore ones I did last week and surprisingly remembering the stuff once I just gloss over it.. Awesome :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I'm watching Poker After Dark on Setanta... It has very little to do with Australian history.

    After it finishes I'll get back to reading...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭Brimmy


    Less than 12 hours now.

    To sleep or to cram.. Hmm..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Dara O'Briain is on Paramount Comedy at the mo, if that helps...
