Brother Gallagher I hear you
I was wondering where you had gotten to....
cheers Elf.
i'm going to do it later this afternoon. procrastonation is a wonderful thing![]()
That is the problem with the subject. So much of it is stuff you just have to commit to memory so you can use it later in a more interesting manner![]()
Diagrams and pictures are always good, as well as stupid rhymes to remember things like the steps for passing legislation.
Are you using the structures and systems and processes and powers text books?

Tips for politics students (at least in preliminary courses as they were taught in 1969)
1) There is no right or wrong (it is not science or mathmatics), only varying degrees of knowledge and perception. Your considered opinion is as good as anyone else's. But you must express it properly.
2) Learn the basic principles, separation of powers within the Westminster system, the Australian Constitution, your State Constitution, principles of Federalism, comparable Federations (eg Canada, US), origin and development of major Australian political parties, comparisons with British party politics.
3) Don't accept anybody's analysis unless it is backed by facts and reasoned argument (remember no one is right or wrong). Make your own judgments and be prepared to back them up with facts and examples.
4) If your lecturer is a jackass, do't argue party politics with him, if you happen to disagree with his philosophy he may mark you on your ideology not your understanding of concepts. If he is a teacher and mentor, ask him to explain and justify his views. He/she will respect your analytical asessment
5) If you don't understand, read up, ask, and continue asking "till you do. No decent teacher will object, as long as you show that you have tried.
6) The expression is "rote" learning not "rope" learning.
Good luck.

Rope learning is the lesson the hangman teaches you...
