<p>Seriously, I am reading posts from people who act like it wasn't a big deal. I read the Princeton review last night and it mentioned it. The American Pageant has an entire paragraph devoted to it... btw this isn't talking about Essay questions.</p>
<p>We didnt study it at all I think, but it was in a practice multiple choice test we took last week.. Im glad i knew what it was :0</p>
<p>I vaguely had a sense of the republican motherhood deal, but it was neither succinct nor analytical....</p>
<p>My DBQ kinda blew.</p>
<p>I hope I passed that thing :</p>
<p>not that we are supposed to talk about it, but the guys in my class are WAY sexist and moaned and groaned about i</p>
<p>i studied republican motherhood in class.</p>
<p>Was that what the DBQ was? :O Oh, sorry, I know you're not supposed to talk about it. It's just that I mentioned it in my DBQ last year, which was on the American Revolution ( I can't remember the specifics of the question though). I'm really surprised that they would have such similar time periods/topics two years in a row.</p>
<p>Yeah, question from last year was: "To what extent did the American Revolution fundamentally change society? In your answer, be sure to include the political, social and economic efffects of the Revolution in the period from 1775 to 1800."</p>
<p>I think that the DBQ was terribly gender biased. It was totally aimed so that girls could do much better on it. It was a completly unfair question to the testing population</p>
<p>Thats what everyone gets for trying so hard to figure out what the DBQ was going to be. They probuably got fed up of everyone trying to take the easy way out and not go in depth on recent topics and jammed the same one down our throats again.</p>
<p>Why should girls know more about women's issues than guys? Basically all of U.S. history is about men, and we learn it anyway. Would it kill you to learn about women's rights? It's only like 2% of APUSH anyway..</p>
<p>it's not gender biased at all. last year at the introduction of apush, my teacher told me how the exam is moving more towards social history, and he hit it right on the nail. He even warned us how the DBQ could be women, black or indians, and that it actually probably would be.</p>
<p>That's correct, women's history is like 2% of APUSH. Thus, it had no business being the DBQ.</p>
<p>Do you think that on average the question was easier to answer for girls than guys.</p>
<p>It doesn't even matter who it was easier for--it's not really the Collegeboard's fault if people don't learn about something that's part of the curriculum..</p>
<p>Of course, I'm definitely glad the DBQ wasn't on labor unions or trustbusting..that's something I wouldn't have known..</p>
<p>God damn, it never heard of it</p>
<p>yeah, basically anything BUT this topic I woulda been cash on..but c'mon</p>
<p>its too bad i didnt read the 10 page packet on CoD that my teacher gave us in the begining of the year, would have helped but I think that the question was more about the change in this aspect rather than a detailed look into the aspect itself.</p>
<p>It was pretty specific but I don't think it was biased toward women.</p>
<p>That dbq was totally biased. Girls in general would obviosly know more about it than guys.</p>
<p>Luckily heard a few sentences about it last night while reviewing</p>
<p>Otherwise...</p>
<p>I just don't understand why guys shouldn't be expected to know about the women's movement if I should be expected to know everything up to 1920 when women finally were able to vote?</p>
