    Local Aussie students to be taught basic English

And yet he is (supposedly) teaching me English. I agree with those who say that as long as you can get...

    this is what ive got...dont take it as gospel though gene cascades are chain reactions- domino effects in terms of gene expression. genes called transcription factor genes have the code that produces proteins that activate or repress the expression of other genes. in a cell, as one gene...

    Dot point - cross breading experiments

    theres one thing i dont understand about these cross breeding experiments which aim to give us a chromosome map. Lets look at a three factor cross: AaBb/ aabb............recomination rate 6%- so these two are 6 map units apart therefore it may be ....B...(6)...A.... or .....A...(6)...B...

    Natural talent or just a lot of hard work put in?

    basically, the sum of what was said by most posters here is that "Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard." Simply as that and can't be argued with. Also, as some other kid who i cnat be bother quoting noted, there are some things where u need natural talent to start off with (eg...

    HSC Success Seminar...?

    first off im not just criticizing it. i was perfectly aware that it would be a sales pitch. Also, though the second test WAS rigged in that we did have 10 times as much time to memorise, the memorising technique did work- it was almost a week ago and i still remember the list (in order)...

    HSC Success Seminar...?

    yea they dont really tell u that stuff...i went to the museum one. the presenter was really good- like a fucking brilliant salesman- but that is what he was- a salesman. It doesnt neccessarily reflect the quality of the course. (For those who were there- those two memory tests were so rigged. in...

    'Forget global warming, prepare for Ice Age'

    its not going to cause the formation of deserts everywhere. global "warming" refers to a slight warming of the atmosphere which results- and scientists predicted this would happen- in erratic weather patterns. this means that countries that get lots of rain will GENERALLY get too much and vice...

    In your opinion what is the most important subject?

    Re: What is the most important subject? Money means a LOT. it can't buy happiness, true, but it can make just about any situation that you are in better. if money doesnt mean anything to any of you, how much are you going to keep in ur bank? for that matter how much will you spend? if u dont...

    In your opinion what is the most important subject?

    Re: What is the most important subject? Our english syllabus is irrelevant to life. Those essay writing skills are fostered just as well in subjects such as economics and even chemistry (long responses requiring a correct response to the text type). Much more important than essay writing...
