My teacher never specified if we needed to have a bunch of research...
But a teacher from a good school posted these as examples of good discursives, so now I'm not sure what the requirement would be for discursives.

I definitely do not have time to research a bunch of different topics to keep as a mental bank to draw from in the exam (trials start MONDAY!) - any advice?

Yes I lost a ton of marks in my mod c assessment because of this. No one ever told me which was kinda annoying. But my teacher said it can be just based off a concept or something doesn’t have to be psychological theories or anything. She recommended not to do unnecessary research and just draw off things I’ve learned in other subjects, so like for me that’s chem and phys and that could be Le Chatilier’s principle, entropy, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, etc, and just apply them to a philosophical context

uhh no i got full marks in my discursive, and I never did that.. It's not going to make you seem "better" or "stand out" from the rest of the cohort, don't waste your time.

definitely depends on your teacher check what they want you to do cause you get marked off their preferences. for hsc just hope the marker likes you
