Hi Elyse! So I'm studying SOR 1 and my school has covered the religious tradition depth study of Islam first
In terms of challenges, I find the content memorisation most challenging - my school covered Hajj as the Significant Practice of Islam, and I struggle with memorising all of the little (but essential) details like the destinations in the Hajj, practices that take place in each destination, where these practices were derived from, how these practices relate to the principal beliefs as well as finding quotes from sacred texts and relevant secondary sources! It doesn't help that I need to do this for Significant People and Ethics, plus another religion and the core topic
So I realise this sounded like one big complaint but I promise I'm thoroughly enjoying the subject - these are just concerns for my trials and HSC! I'm looking forward to the SOR lecture, especially since I really enjoyed the Head Start lecture in term 4 and found it really helpful
