WHat I have heard is that most (all?) JCs don't bother with textbooks (paper or electronic) any more. The teachers just hand out loads of notes!

I agree.

But History is not popular with many students.

May I know the reasons why History is not popular with many student?
:thankyou:

Why don't you ask those who will never want to take History?

Do u think otherwise?

[/quote]Just curious to know why History is not popular with many students? Is it due to very difficult to score or very content heavy or simply many students are not interested in this subject. My child will be in JC1 next year and she is currently taking History. Thus, would like to find out more as this is a possible subject that she might be taking. In terms of content, is there a great jump form secondary level History to JC History? Any advice is welcome. TIA.

For someone who didn't like History but did History, I would say it's both: heavy content and difficult to score.

I remember sitting beside an older friend who was doing History in NUS and hearing her telling me she liked History and I was bewildered that there were people who 'like History', and she said it with a smile too.

Like any other subject, there's no reason you shouldn't do History if you like it. If you have the passion for it, you will reap a lot of insights from the subject even after many years following graduation. I often wish I treated History more seriously. But I agree that History is hard to score. Not sure how the papers are like now but it used to be somewhat like GP where you needed to substantiate your opinion with good evidence, except that your evidence is littered in a sea of notes. A classmate asked our History tutor what she got for her A level History and she said 'B', citing 'too many notes' with a troubled looking face as the reason she did 'poorly'.

Not sure if this would help but if it's possible to find out what kind of History is covered, maybe your child can decide if she at least is interested in it?
