    Open High School - German

    Does anyone here do German through Open High School? Share your experiences here! Our school couldn't offer a German class so there are three of us in year 11 doing it through OHS. At first, it was really awkward in adapting to talking to a phone and no one to physically lecture you :lol:. But...

    German in Year 12

    Hear Hear! Learning a foreign language no matter what is it should be made compulsory :D! I mean, if you compare the average year 10 Australian student to a European student, the European student would most likely know at least three languages. (English, native language and foreign language)

    German in Year 12

    Pretty badly, I have to admitt :(. From Table A3 for 2007 (changes every year), if your HSC mark is 91, it gets scaled down to 79.4 German Continuers 91 -->79.4 French Continuers: 91 --> 83.6 Physics: 89 --> 83.4 Modern History: 89 --> 80 Eco: 91 --> 84.6 Chem: 90 -->85

    German in Year 12

    Hi, I'm doing German through OHS. I also haven't put in as much effort as I should have - heh. Aber es ist nicht so schlecht. Ich finde es ganz richtig, in Australian Fremdsprachen zu lernen, weil wir so weit von anderen Landeren sind. Ich will vielleicht in Deutschland studieren. Ich finde...

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Re: What UAI/course are you aiming for? Hey I posted here already but my thoughts have changed a bit :\ Realistically 97+ Idealisically 99+ Maybe Commerce? Comm/Law? All depends, I have no freaking idea at the moment. I keep changing.

    Good Scaling Subjects?

    Practically all subjects scale down except 4U maths. It's more about which subjects scales worse than others.

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Re: What UAI are you aiming for? 99+ Bachelor of Commerce (USYD) You guys all seem to be into the 5 year Comm/Law thing eh? The way I see it, just do a quick 3 year course --> major in accounting --> get a job --> make good money. But that's just simplistic me, I know everyone differs :)

    Most Interesting Subject

    Past a certain point yes (technical optimum) but for example (need a graph :() if I was producing 100 hats at $30 each before but then increased production to 200 hats costs would lower (due to shared infrastructure, bulk buying etc.) to $20. Although, the total cost has increased to $4000 from...

    ich liebe deutsch zu lernen!

    Servus! Ich habe Deutsch fur drei Jahre gelernt aber mein Deutsch ist wirklich schrecklich. :(. Dieses Jahr hat meine Schule keine Deutschklasse denn wir haben nicht genung Leute! Deshalb muss ich jetzt Deutsch lernen durch OHS ==. Ich finde es sehr schwerig, besonderes wann habe ich Fragen...

    Scaling issue, help fellow 09ers! (or fellow members)

    Here's my advice: Keep Chem (opens up so many oppotunites later on in uni and your marks aren't that bad) Try to get into Advance English Drop Religion Try to change Business to Eco Yes, its ruthless but in terms of scaling that would be the way to go. As for your Cosmology idea...

    The Open High School

    A bit late but I totally agree with everyone you said. I'm doing German Prelim through OHS and it's hell right now. It's very frustrating and annoying when you don't understand the content of the course but only have 10 minutes a fortnight with the teacher, by which you'd probably have...

    Favourite airline?

    Was it a comedy film called Golden Chicken? China Airlines is from Taiwan, Taipei based. Air China is from Mainland China, Beijing based. Just wanted to clairfy, no hidden meanings :). From what I've tried my favourite airline would have to be... RYANAIR! You can't beat seeing the safety...

    why do people think B arts = unemployment??

    I had another look at the USyd site but now I want to know What's the difference between Bachler of Commerce/Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) and what are the pros and cons? I figured the double degree takes 5 years as opposed to 4 years but other than that...

    why do people think B arts = unemployment??

    I just checked out the USyd page and the combos with all the diff. majors looks sick. One that caught my eye Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) with majors in Marketing, Finance and Spanish That sounds exactly like the thing I wanna do in Uni! (replace the Spanish with German)

    why do people think B arts = unemployment??

    For B Commerce (Liberal Studies), exactly how much science is there? And what does it involve? I'm interested in BArts, BCommerce but not really into the science fields ;)
