I love Modern :) (just thought I'd put that out there) Whats wrong with doing it now though?

I'm pretty happy with my subject choices, BUT if I had the chance again, maybe would have picked Economics or Ancient in place of maths.

We have been given 'a guide to what we'll need to know for the essays'. Inevitably though, this 'guide' is virtually useless as it covers the whole topic :p

Is it though? I don't know, i was asking! Can all emotions be explained in a physiological/biochemical sense?

Now this is a really good point. Anyone who does/has done the Individual and Society in Ext Eng will understand. When in comes to individualism, is it something intrinsic to the human psyche, or is it a result of the social context? Is individualism an illusion? Don't apparently...

Too Nazi-ish for my liking. I mean, who decides what defines 'good genes'? I do, however, support engineering when it comes strictly to degenerative genetic disorders.

Too long to read! Nevertheless, in response to what I could be bothered to read: * I think there is some sort of spirtual component in humans separate from our physical sense of self. Isn't this why we feel emotion? I mean, emotion isn't purely physical, yet its not purely pschological...

So, how is everyone's study going for teh impednding half yearlies? See, here's the thing about me...I am really great at coming up with grand academic goals and pretty colourful study checklists...but when it comes to actually getting my head down and studying productively, I suck immensely.

They're not even popularity contests. Or captains/prefects aren't particulary well liked by many people, but are in the positions they are because they are experts at ingratiating themselves to theeachers.

How have everyone's ranks shifted since the end of Yr 11? I'll start. Subject Rank end of Yr 11 Current rank English Adv 1/204 3/204 Eng Ext 1/44 1/44 Modern...

Think about the different defintions of equality (formal, equality before the law, equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes) and how these relate to institutionalised ineqaulity. Formal equality before the law to a large extent conceals institutionalised inequality.

Yeah exactly. Because lets face it: I'm lazy and anyone who I'm not really close friends with, I know i won't see again.

qft. If it was an honest mistake and she explains that to her teacher first thing, i doubt she'll be penalised.

Just go and see her first thing tomorrow and it should be okay. Don't lister to aMUSED1997,. He's just being...well, aMUSED1997 :p

I know exactly what you mean! Some days, I can't wait for that taste of freedom outside the parameters of school life. Yet, other days, I can;t believe something that has become such a big part of out lives is coming to an end awfully fast.

It's a matter of personal preference I guess. i think for Modern, you need tp have an interest in teh subject. or the high-content will be tedious.

Pfft. Perspective people! The HSC does not determine 'the rest of your life', it is a mere stepping stone. Yes, we all want to do well, but it isn;t the be all end all. If you don't meet the UAI cut-off, there are other ways you can pursue the path you want to pursue. Furthermore, I'm...

True this. It wouldn't really make any difference, unless they change the rank order or mark difefrence between rank orders (which they wouldn't do)

Really? Thats interesting. Does that mean the distribution of the UAI's is negatively skewed? What year was this?
