I don't think writing notes is a waste of time, but as I said, i think any study you do needs to be proactive, or your mind will wander (which is why just reading notes doesn't work for most people.)
What about when Lizzy goes to Netherfield and stands up for herself when caroline Bingley suggests "shes a great reader and takes no pleasure in anything else"?
The thing is though, because the Standard English cohort is of lower calibre then the Advanced cohort (as you would expect), it is difficult to achieve a band 5/6 in Standard, because your cohort will invariably drag you down. Here are the stats:
2006:
Advanced English
Band 6 (5.99%)
Band 5...
Pretty much. I don't about other people but reading the textbook just doesn't work for me. I'm actually unhealthily obssessed with notes. My PE notes, for example, are 12000 words. Its more the process of writing them then reading them thats helpful though.
Yeah, I do humanities where the teachers are tree-cutters too. Especially in modern, we get so many photocopies of textbook chapter (and I'm pretty sure the 'no more then 10% of this book is permitted for photocopy' has been explictly violated.
Looking around me, it looks like a bomb went off. Words cannot describe teh level of disorganisation I have managed to reach. Is anyone else realising that they may drown in a sea of textbooks and notes?
Re: Anyone else hate English as much as me?
I like our writing style :) I did pretty well in King Lear, its prob my favourite module. Hey, Bobness, whats your course like, it sounds cool?
(should I be Pming you on this instead?)
Um...no.
Sure, it is advantageous if your cohort performs well as a whole, but this alone will not "guarantee" you a UAI over 99.
The only reasons your high ranked school makes you statistically more likely to achieve a high UAI are:
*Your cohort should do well
and
*As...
Aw. Its ok. *pats head*. Everyone will have their peaks and troughs, its just the nature of the HSC. Lets just try to remember that in 7 months it will all be over and we can start a new phase of our lives, or, in my case, start my life. :p
Yeah...
this happens all the time in Modern, whereby the teacher of the other class is also teh one who sets all the assessements, and hence tailors what's taught to best prepare his class for the assessments. Its pretty annoying, but what can you do?
Ok, I agree, but can the conditions that catalyse these chemical reactions be explained by science? Or is the fact that we feel emotion a consequnce, rather than a cause of these various biochemical processes?

And so, in a similarly overdone manner, I paraphrase:
