Entirely wrong time period in WH Essay?

<p>What if I completely skimmed over the question and wrote extensively about a wrong time period (500 yrs apart)?</p>

<p>If my facts were fine, then...?</p>

<p>you still didnt answer the question...so 0</p>

<p>So how would the graders treat it?</p>

<p>Like GinPA said. 0.</p>

<p>It would be fine if you tied in info from another time period...but if that is all you wrote then you didn't answer the question.</p>

<p>They don't give 1 pt for having a thesis?</p>

<p>What if some of the points were applicable although attributed to the wrong time period?</p>

<p>Should rephrase:</p>

<p>I had some continuities (it was for a CoT question) that were correct, but the changes were wrong.</p>

<p>i think it would be a 0
i think the "thesis" point is relevant only if you have the right thesis</p>

<p>It was Change Over Time;</p>

<p>What if I had some continuities that were correct, but most of the changes were wrong?</p>

<p>But if you are completely off the time period like your OP said, then it's a 0</p>

<p>ooo, the essays were bad... I did a self-study for world so im not sure how it turned out, cramed last night like crazy. Anyone know how much you gotta get for a 5.</p>

<p>Well, if it's CONTINUITIES, don't I get a few points few there?</p>

<p>I think I wrote that certain things continued throughout, even to this day in some cases. These things definitely stayed the same.</p>

<p>It's not like I wrote about British colonialism when I was supposed to write about the Aryans.</p>

<p>ponnan--</p>

<p>50/70 on MC, 6/9 average on FR for a 5.</p>

<p>let's leave it to the graders lol
i see your argument but only if the continuities covered that time period it asked for</p>

<p>I left like 7 blank on MC.... hope it doesnt kill me</p>

<p>i left 9 or 10 blank on MC</p>

<p>and i think i did a 9 on the db1 essay and 4s on the other ones. jeez. does anyone have the calculations for what ur score gets u?</p>

<p>What time period did you screw up...what empire did you choose?
I can tell you how close you were...if you tell me what you really wrote about, and what you were Supposed to write about.</p>

<p>That score would be a 37/60, and for the 2002 exam, you need a 78, so you should hope for about 47 or 48 questions right on the MC.</p>

<p>i talked about the qin and han dynasties in change over time...problem is the qin wasnt part of the time period they gave but the han was....what about that</p>

<p>I don't think that you wouldn't get credit at all, would it? If so, then I'm screwed too, because I did basically the same thing w/(insert topic choice) -.- but, it was only about 2 sentences that were out of time period (I don't mean connections to present time; I mean I talked about 2 things that didn't even happen during the roman empire lol), the rest was in the time period... so I'm not TOO worried... eh.. I don't know "^^</p>

<p>edit: =P Sorry.. I think I was being a bit too specific w/my topic stuff</p>
