    our school has homework help which isn't tutoring, but teachers go to a classroom and students can ask them questions.

    What do you think about tutoring?

    i always thought that it was against school policy, but i never knew it was illegal....has anyone been convicted of actually tutoring their own students? (or have students ever been expelled/suspended?)

    Dan Brown & Dale Brown....

    I noticed that a lot of books by Dale Brown have been borrowed from my local library and are also becoming popular. do u reckon he owes his sales to Dan Brown? i just find it amusing coz i think some people are getting them mixed up and boosting the other guy's sales instead. (or am i just being...

    Am i immune ?!

    ditto. but i think the scaling from legal and business might cancel the good scaling from eco. nevertheless, legal isn't capped (i think) and so it's possible to do very well in legal and eco and get a good UAI.

    circle geometry terms.

    lol. i don't mind doing that sort of stuff (loan repayments etc), but it's just the hassle of writing out everything from first principles that's the pain....i guess it is for most people. *it might be useful if u do actuarial studies though :) btw. when u say ur a visual learner, do u...

    What do you think about tutoring?

    Does ranking affect your hsc/uai marks

    provided u actually do well in the hsc exam, then u might be better off getting a high rank at a school that doesn't perform very well. however, there's usually less competition and that tends to work against u. so in the end it might not work out so well. if u went to a school such as james...

    circle geometry terms.

    what are ur least favourite topics in maths?? for me, my least favourite would definitely have to be probability. and closely followed by euclidean & circle geometry.....aarrgghh! it seems that a lot of the guys i know and have talked to have similar dislikings when it comes to maths...

    circle geometry terms.

    if mathematicians aren't visual learners, then what are they??? for me personally, i generally don't learn visually. i often find things easier to remember when i hear them. but the by far the most effective method of memorisation for me is understanding the stuff. coz then u don't need to...

    Preliminary vs HSC - difficulty?

    i don't really favour one over the over (i.e. memorisation vs mathematical applications). from my subjects, u can see that i do subjects all over the place - not necessarily leaning towards science, and not towards humanities either.

    What do you think about tutoring?

    there's nothing like competition within the family.....especially between brothers and sisters :) most of my competition comes from my class though.

    Preliminary vs HSC - difficulty?

    my maths teacher said has said a few a times (in reference to physics): "back then (when he was young i guess) we used to actually learn physics. now, students learn about physics". i dunno if that's true coz i don't do physics....but any comments??

    Preliminary vs HSC - difficulty?

    Failing 3 unit Maths: How to Improve?

    IMHO, hsc maths ext 1 is easier than preliminary. last year i finished on 70%. however, this year i'm currently on 87%. it might just be me, but i find the hsc topics easier than yr11 topics. my initial attitude towards ext 1 maths (at the beginning of last year) was to rote memorise...

    Deriving Projectile Motion Equations

    not sure about the gender, but i'm quite certain i saw some people with their genders posted (but maybe that was before the change). as for web design.....i spent a fair bit of time learning html. i didn't actually dedicate a lot of time to sitting and learning it, but i just happened to...

    what's wrong with forensic science?? btw. my forensic - 80% was only an example. it wasn't based on any facts.

    Is 14 units too much for the HSC?

    if u found that u dropped ur units to 11, then u could always do polish extension (if it's offered....i'm not too sure if there is an ext. for polish) and make that 12. if ur good at it then i say, y not?
