DBQ ahead of time, only not really.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I posted this in the AP Prep section but felt the need to share it here because it's just too weird:</p>

<p>"OH MY GOD.</p>

<p>okay yesterday in class our teacher gave us this two papers on EXACTLY WHAT THE DBQ was today. It's impossible for her to have known what it was, so we were all really freaked out when we read the DBQ (plus her favorite thing to do is go on wikepedia or however you spell it and just copy and paste crap, that woman kills trees, we fill one 2 inch binder a quarter, so she's always throwing papers at us). Seriously the paper she gave us yesterday had a paragraph on each of those terms and reasons and everything. There were about 60 of us taking it in one big room and as soon as we opened up to the DBQ question the room erupted into laughter and "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME". The proctor had no idea what was going on, neither did the AP English kids who missed class yesterday.</p>

<p>Yeah. That's my APUS story for the day."</p>

<p>What are the chances of that happening. If we all didn't get perfect scores on that DBQ I just don't know.</p>

<p>that's crazy.</p>

<p>and awesome, too. lol</p>

3

<p>dbq was crazy</p>

4

<p>Awesome.</p>

<p>My teacher was OBSESSED with those two terms. I took it in a room with about 150 people, and maybe 25 of us had her as a teacher. We all just looked up at each other and did the V for Victory arm thing. SO AWESOME.</p>

5

<p>i have never heard those two terms in my life. everyone in my class looked at eachother with that "we are so screwed" look.</p>

<p>QuickLikeCat I'm glad you understand haha, my teacher is a crazy feminist so we know like everything about women. So yesterday all she did was tell us about women. Someone on the AP Prep board was like "your teacher should be fired for getting it ahead of time". There's no way this woman could have gotten it, so that's not even an issue. It's not our fault our teacher is like LET'S LEARN ABOUT WOMEN ALL THE TIME haha, I think we had touched on one of the terms earlier but never really talked about it until yesterday. </p>

<p>It was still kinda weird to write since there were like 3 parts to the question and the documents weren't that awesome.</p>

<p>feminists suck</p>

<p>My teacher guesses the essay questions and DBQ every year. He's usually right about half the time, but not this year.</p>

<p>The closest he got this year was "colonization" but he was kinda off on that. Such a shame.</p>

9

<p>i wish they had a history exam of sorts that was just like 1920 +...that's the stuff i know well</p>

10

<p>chauvinists suck :)</p>

11

<p>i love the way feminist is considered good and revolutionary yet masochist or chauvinist is frowned upon</p>

<p>so leah, grab your pen and go fill out a draft card.</p>

12

<p>yes feminists do suck.</p>

<p>Yeah my teacher tries to guess and thought of colonization too. We looked at the DBQs from the past like 10 years and there was also one about women and she was like "I bet you guys would like one like this". We wanted either women or the Cold War.</p>

<p>The Free Responses were kinda hard for us since we didn't really cover much of any of that. So all of our answers were vague and like a page.</p>

13

<p>Feminist stuff is boring.</p>

14

<p>haha generally i don't correlate masochism and chauvinism..</p>

<p>but to each his own.. :)</p>

<p>and who says i wouldn't register for the draft? it's not my fault the ERA hasn't passed lol</p>

15

<p>I see feminism as radical and chauvinism as the general form of culture below 30°N.</p>

16

<p>OP: That happened with me, too. Our DBQ on the semester exam (waaay back in January) was EXACTLY the same thing. 10 documents about the role of women. =) I'm so glad I reviewed that.</p>

17

<p>What does DBQ stand for?</p>

18

<p>The DBQ on the APWH exam had absolutely nothing resembling normalcy: it wanted to know how the global flow of silver impacted socially and economically upon the entire world between 1550 and 1750, with five documents from Ming China and three from Europe.</p>

19

<p>DBQ = Document-Based Question.</p>

20

<p>DBQ = document based question, an essay based off of a series of given documents analyzing a theme with outside information to support a thesis</p>
