As a first year (and an overwhelmed one at that), I feel like saying that to any whining Year 12s. But then I go back to my thought that these hurdles are all relative in life. Maybe it's a good thing that these Year 12s are getting over-stressed (haha) because that's overcoming a challenge in a...
To "quote" (haha quote within quotes) a film technique, you can transition off saying "(Director's name) uses (film technique) to say (what does the technique say) ...(to what effect)"." I probably didn't string that well but effect is linked with purpose. There must be a reason for using a...
I never got the impression that I had to please teachers to do well. It may have just been the school I went to. Therefore, Spiritual Being's comment didn't really ring true to me. Do you go to a school where teachers are extremely biased? I think you need to know what the internal and external...
I would definitely try make summary notes because the process of going through content is revision in itself. Just try and work quickly and not get distracted (remember, the goal is to get there comfortably before next Tues!). Do you have the Tim Dixon workbook? If you do that is an excellent...
Man.. I remember when I got overeager and followed to trend of putting my half yearlies into an ATAR calculator and got an ATAR of 68 or something round there. I think I immediately clicked that red X in the top right corner. I'd say to avoid them. Unless you think it'll be a good motivator for...
Biology is extremely content based. You have to do it the hard way - read through all your notes thoroughly. But you can "study smart" through doing mindmap summaries, make sure you have plenty of examples for each of the concepts, include your research tasks and first-hand investigations...
Nah if you are confident that you won't do well in this 2 unit subject, drop it. I went through that myself. I kept economics and it took up a substantial amount of my time yet did not count. I stuck with it though because I was interested in it. If you don't like this subject, all the more...
It's all perspective. I found that rather than getting angry at life, I would try and deal with it but now I've grown to become an apathetic person so maybe that's not a good idea. Sometimes you feel as though you have no motivation to do anything and you're waiting for it to come. So if you...
Cinnamon donuts. Jam filled donuts. Krispy Kreme donuts. Potato donuts. DONUTS DONUTS DONUTS.
I wonder if IGA will sell things at prices similar to Woolies and Coles. If so, a dozen cinnamon donuts for 3 dollar!
Anyone doing Exercise Physiology (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year?) I'm thinking of transferring next year and I would like any opinions on how you are finding it. Level of difficulty, job opportunities, anything.
