Lemass
Catholic Church
Irish society 50's and 60's(not enough for q on its own)

Europe:Show Trials
Anti-Semitism with Hitler
Mussolini
France


Reckon I'll be grand?

Think you should be good I've done the exact same. Theres too much to cover on History. I'm not going to learn essays though. Done that last year. Didn't work. Key points are better. Easier to learn. Just read the book. Most people who done essays in my class last year didn't do well at all because of the lack of remembrance of the exact essay threw a good few people right off. This new History structure should be scrapped. I barley was half way through my last essay last year and I'd be one of the quickest writers. History is a joke.

This is what I've done so far:

Rise of Fascism
Strike and Lockout
Germanys Church State Relations
Belfast during WWII

I will try to look over unionist opposition to home rule, the GAA, possibly the show trials, and maybe the 85/86 elections which everyone seems to have done.

I am seriously screwed if my essays don't come up.

Slip in a 50 quid note. I'm hoping most if not all of those essays don't come up. Don't like them

I picked those ones cause they're the easiest (at least I think they are). I can't get my head around the 85/86 elections and all that sh!t. But I'm going to have to give it a go.

I really want to get the honour in this. History is just so risky, though. Just no way of predicting what will come up. It's just hope.

If all else fails, I'll take on board your suggestion of the 50 quid.

Nobody that I no of got anything above a B3 last year. Was shocking. All I can say is this and French are an Epic Fail for tomorrow.

History really is a TERRIBLE subject in my opinion, don't know why I took it.

Any maths-heads here that can calculate what % I need in the written exam tomorrow combined with say, 99/100 marks in the project to get a c3 or higher?

Roughly 44%. I'm not a maths head at all!!

I'm planning on learning off 2 essays from each section that are likely and if 2/3 sections ends up done with the docu I should be fine for a c3 which is what I want, right?

bring him into a paragraph where its relevant in the essay. he's relevant at the cumann na gaedhael economic piece, when youre talking about the influences on government economic policy......that he was appointed secretary to the department of finance in the 20's and he advocated free trade for the free state.

Depends on how good they are, if you manage to average at 44/100 marks in each of the 3 essays and the document, providing you got 99/100 in the research study, then yes you're on target for a C3.

Well, like I planned to do Civil Rights in NI for the mock and revised Hitler's foreign policy, and did the docu. Didn't get last essay done and got a C2 overall in that paper

Richyj_0

You should be fine so...I got most of the last essay done and still only got a C3. I really want a B3 tomorrow but I'd say I'll probably get roughly a C2. Didn't do nearly enough study.

Occono

I have to stop looking at the clock. Also have to stop focusing too much on stuff I shouldn't, I've just wasted way too much time writing about de Valera. It's very easy to get sidetracked in History.....Don't suppose the entire History and Procedures of SCOTUS, its historical makeup and how cases are brought to it are that relevant to the African-American Civil Rights movement right? (I just found it all so interesting....)

Claypigeon

I'm at a loss so as to what to know for the contextualisations - our teacher was crap and didn't really do this beyond

"Yeah right down stuff about the thing what they ask you in the thing okay yeah grand okay lol what did we all do on the weekend"

-_-

Occono

^Heh.

So does anybody have any useful links?

God yes. I'm so prone to going on tangents and confusing the importance of topics...its a nightmare At least it doesn't feel as desperately hopeless trying to cram for it like with Gaelige (Which I completely bombed in and I'm pretty sure if I really want to do what I want in College then I'm going to have to repeat the year)

Anyone have predictions for Northern Ireland 49-93? Beginning to freak out slightly...
I kept texting in to countdown but to no avail :(

The case studies.

I'm starting to panic for the exact opposite reason I've been panicking (Is that really spelled with a K?) on all of the other tests, I have too many notes instead of not enough (I basically couldn't find any relevant Irish notes anywhere).

Is this enough to get me through?:
*Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Contextualization of the African-American Civil Rights Movement
*Cumann na Gheadhael Social/Economic Policies
*de Valera and W.T. Cosgrave
*Church/State Relations Nazi Ger. And Mussolini's Italy
*Rise of Fascism Europe
*Moon Landings/Space Race
*Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson

What about your fourth topic?

Leave out Vietnam.

Know the Economic War of the 1930s in case a question comes up on comparing FF's economic polices with C na G.


Risky in the Europe section - I'd learn one more topic. All of Hitler.

Oh yeah I'm doing the Economic comparison FF/CnaG, forgot to mention that. Thanks for the tips though. I shouldn't panic, I've still got a decent amount of time, I don't have French)

Vietnam was on last year so it won't be on this year, right? I know I must have gotten confused somewhere (I'm too dependant on going back over past papers, I wasn't thinking clearly.)

Very safe there. For the 1870-1914 topic, the fall of HR is not covered in this topic nor is the rise of SF. It just deals with how SF came about i.e. it will stop at 1914. Parnell should come up.

Power-surge

I need a B in history, is this enough?

Irish topic 2
-Parnell and Butt
-Consolidation of the Catholic Church
-1885/1886 elections

Topic 3
-FF & CnanG
- Ireland N & S during WW2
-SF 1918

Europe
-Church state relations
-Anti semitism
-and a small glance over show trials.

and then Moonlanding + Montgomery


Anything I should add on to that?

Chanandler Bong

i have

Europe
Mussolini Rise to Power/Domesitc and Foreign Policies
Church-State Relations in Italy/Germany
Anti-Semitism
Show Trials

Vichy France
Anglo-American Pop Culture

Early Ireland
1885/6 elections
GAA problems
Literary Revival
Irish Language Revival
Catholic Identity and DP Moran
Unionist Opposition 1884-90

Europe is the only potential banana skin - people on this site seem pretty sure that Church-State Relations are going to come up but I would know all of Hitler's domestic and foreign policy (which includes Church-State Relations and Anti-Semitism).

* If a question comes up on persecution in Nazi Germany that means Anti-Semitism, Church-State Relations and you can even mention the Night of the Long Knives. Don't get confused if they use persecution in the question!
