KU1 - Describe Questions
  •  At General level, part of the answer is in the source. To achieve full marks, give information from the source and one piece of your own knowledge. 
  • However at Credit, there is no source! It must all come from your Brain!
KU2 - Explain Question

  •   Exactly as it asks, just explain.
KU3 - How Important. Quite difficult but can easily be mastered. 

Let's use the example: 'How important was the Versailles Treaty in making the Weimar Republic unpopular in Germany?'
  •   Show why the Treaty made the Weimar Republic unpopular.
  • You must mention at least 1 or 2 other factors which were also important in making the Weimar Republic unpopular e.g. inflation in 1923 or the depression which began in 1929 etc.
  • Write a balanced conclusion: 'The harsh Treaty of Versailles did make the Weimar Republic unpopular. However, the inflation of 1923, and especially the great depression may have been more important.
