Go the better Physics teacher. Physics is full of quite new and difficult (but interesting) topics which could be disastrous if taught poorly. 3 Unit Maths you can get help with and it's mostly more of the same. And, finding Maths tutors is easier than Physics ones, if you need to resort to...

Kurt, I wish I had you as a student! OK, I would do as namu suggests and see if you can get the teacher on side to let you prove you can fulfil the Prelim outcomes THIS term AND get onto the HSC requirements for 2 Unit this year. Get them to let you also sit the HSC 2 Unit assessments as they...

And I would get a parent on side to go with you to back you up and support you. Don't do this alone because it could be swept under the carpet and you could be seen as petulant and a whiner (which I am not syaing you are, because I can fully appreciate where you are coming from). What I am...

Well, that's the main objection to the way things are taught at the moment. Teachers teach to the exam RATHER than teach for the sake of helping others learn stuff. Never in life in general do we learn to exams, we bumble along learning all sorts and how to apply it to different situations. I...

If the government is going to force more students to stay in school longer, they HAVE to make it achievable for them. I don't agree with this at all. Leaving school and entering TAFE and employment were viable options for many youths in the past, and much better options, quite frankly, for...

As one who does appreciate the beauty of mathematics, I agree with the report, in so far as that Maths should be taught in a way that students can love and appreciate its power and the magic of numbers. However, on a more practical level, from a teacher's point of view, the syllabus is chock...

As others have said, keep your options open and do Economics. It was once said to me (way back) that if you want or need bio for Uni then you can easily do a bridging course because the info in bio tends to be fairly static. And, doing Economics you also practice and hone the skill of essay...

OK, let me see if I can get very layman and not use the technical words. Relative = in comparison to Imagine you are at the airport with a friend, John, where they have those funky travellators for people who don't want to walk very far. You and John stand next to each other. Relative to each...

Ja, aber man könnte "Medical Studies" an Universität Sydney studieren und dan Medizin. Aber ich weiss nicht wie Hoch das Grad ist, das man für das braucht. Ja, ich spiele ein paar Instrumente. Meistens spiele ich Klavier, seit ich 5 Jahre alt war!! Ich sage nicht, wie viele Jahren das ist...

I thought it was just me that thought that. HEE HEE Believe it not, it was GROUND BREAKING when it came out. Perhaps that is something to think about. When was it released? What could have been ground breaking? Then go and read the book. It's MUCH MUCH better (of course) and will help you make...

Mein Lieblingssport, weil ich australischerin bin, ist natürlich Netzball. Ich bin Schiedsrichterin und spiel es auch. Netzball ist wie Drogen: wenn man kein Netzball spielt, braucht man Netzball zu spielen. Auch habe ich viele Netzball- und Schiedsrichterfreunden. Was willst du an der...

Well, you guys who say you did nothing, you must have done something to get a mark, at least: 1. Turned up to class. 2. Turned up to the exam. 3. Listened. 4. Did assessments. 5. Took notes of some sort. 6. Read your notes or text books. 7. Did homework. So, the fact you didn't do a massive...

Niemand hat geantwortet, deshalb werde ich. Ich habe gestern etwas geschrieben aber habe ich alles sofort verloren (verdammtes Computer!). So, warum habe ich Deutsch als Fach gewählt? Als ich sehr jung war (in der 5. Klasse) mein Cousin hat ein "Gap" Jahr in Deutschland verbracht. Ich bin nie...

Hey the first draft will never be great or polished or anything like that. It would be very interesting to read the first draft of any great novel. What makes a work great is the revision and editing and then your work will shine. The first draft is the first 10% of the work. Don't worry, you...

JANUARY HSC EXTENSION ENGLISH COURSES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS With Timothy Daly January 17-21 at NSW Writers' Centre Extension 2 Major Project Writing is one of the most difficult writing jobs in NSW, because so much is asked of writers who are so young. The Extension 2 Major Project has...

The idea is to use Summary Function as a help. Don't let it do it for you. Let it highlight what it thinks can stay and what can go. Then, go through it yourself and edit using that as a guide. It certainly is fantastic for English and any other essay you want to write. It can pinpoint the...

The thing with logs is, they are reciprocals of powers. 1. So, if something to a power is 10 eg a 2.37 = 10 Then the reciprocal is, the log (to the base of the number you are using in the power) of the answer is the power. log a 10 = 2.37 2. If you want to change the base from say "10"...

If it is a subject you love and enjoy, then don't listen to anyone, that is why you are doing it. Sure, it's not physics of 4U maths, but hey, if you don't enjoy them, then don't do them. I am tipping many of the people doing those subjects are ONLY doing them for the marks and have no real...

It's good to get used to writing to word limits +/- 10%. At Uni they are enforced and you lose mega marks for not doing it correctly. Anyway, there is a great function in Word that can help you lessen your words - Summary Function. But if you have too few words, obviously there is more to be...

The good and bad can sometimes depend a lot on the character and morals of those to whom you are trying to belong. Bad things: - Peer pressure to do negative and antisocial activities - drugs, smoking, drinking, graffitti, crime etc. - Need to wear the same clothing as others - which could be...
