Investigating this. Haven't yet - but it's next on the list - I am fed up with this site crashing at the most important time of the year. Can't remember the exact settings but they haven't changed since last time. There have been some hiccups with the user profile fields - should be fixed...

Both of these will be coming back. I have to add them in manually.

Thanks Dan. :) I expect your new script to be as elegant as the last. I was expecting more from the adsense 'features', to be honest - it turns out that hosts who have already customised their forums for adsense aren't offered anything new - except the ability to share your CTR/CPM data with...

Direct links should be fixed, thanks Dumsum. There are a few other new things hidden around the place. :)

Finally done. Please let us know if you find any bugs or irregularities.

Please be advised that the forums will be inaccessible from midnight for an indeterminate period whilst we perform some upgrades. There will be a range of exciting new features to be discovered tomorrow! :) Kind regards

Re: Top 20 in Course List That would lead to the Mt Druitt debacle all over again - see e.g. here (scroll down to Mt Druitt heading). Ranking schools by publishing league tables etc is a very controversial issue in education and is generally seen to be highly undesirable - because it is...

Re: Top 200 Schools - Daily Telegraph Good on them. They aren't accurate at all, except perhaps where they are ranked within a single course.

Re: Top 20 in Course List It's not an accurate way of ranking schools though because no scaling has been done.

Your mark of 80/100 for School Certificate English places you in the top 39% of the state. Based on enrolment statistics from the 2008 HSC and some very very very rough approximations, that might be about equivalent to being in the top 52% of those who will go on to do the HSC with you. In...

Re: Top 20 in Course List If you have a passion and interest in mathematics or if you plan to study it at university or follow a career in mathematics, you should definitely consider taking the higher levels now so that you have a good foundation. On the other hand, if you are only trying to...

This might arguably be a contravention of the NSW privacy legislation - which in certain circumstances could result in an award of damages being made by the Administrative Decisions Tribunal (e.g. as happened in this case, where the Department of Education & Training sent health information...

The OP isn't asking for a minimum UAI. If you really want the NRSL cut-offs, you could FOI them. There is really no reason why they shouldn't be in the public domain. In previous years they have been willing to reveal past cut-offs to people who they can see on their system are trying to...

For all intents and purposes, yes.

Very interesting. Seems fair. You still have to get very good grades to get in (i.e. better than straight Ds). UAI is compared with uni by the use of a schedule such as this one. Frigid explained it all in this thread.

Y gets 90 because the moderating process takes into account the relative differences between students in addition to the rank order. The procedure for classes of two students also differs slightly to the general procedure. As there is a difference of only two marks between the raw internal...

Good idea calling up Stephen Parkes too. Best to nip those things in the bud before they become problematic. He seems to be the one who is dealing with all FOI applications at the moment heh. Lucky him!

The timeframe for determining the application is 21 days after which the agency is deemed to have refused the application: s 24(2) FOI Act, but it must be dealt with as soon as practicable: s 18(3) FOI Act. The period of time for determination is reckoned exclusive of the day on which the...

In 2008 a scaled mark at the 25th percentile in Mathematics Extension 2 was roughly equivalent to scaled marks at the 90th percentiles in Physics and Chemistry. The scaling for Mathematics Extension 2 is so high because it is determined entirely by the performance of Extension 2 students on the...

Re: 回复: Re: These UNSW forums are dying..... I am currently working on the first and the third tasks. I wasn't aware that there was much demand for LaTeX but if there is I don't see any reason not to investigate that as well - lower priority though, need to get some other things done first.
