    Group of Eight - Aus Unis???

    The College of Rhode Island isn't part of the league. You have 9 instead of 8 unis there. :) And there is another purpose beside 'prestige' and 'elitism' for the formation of the ivy league: originally, these 8 univesities played FOOTBALL against each other. So yes. The ivy league is really a...

    Is 14 units too much for the HSC?

    I started Yr 12 with 15 units. It was ok for a term or two, but I dropped one of my subjects halfway through this term, because I had 3 major works and it really was getting insane and I needed to focus more on extn 2 maths. 13 is ok, but just barely. That's the best aspect of picking up a large...

    2003 Young Writers Showcase

    Generally I thought critical responses were quite readable -- the unfortunate side of short stories is that there are so many variables with style that even some solidly/well executed shorts stories still managed to irritate me. There is an obvious love of the post-modern for short stories...

    adding poetry

    a great proportion of my work is narrative verse - which means, whilst i can say: yes yes i'm using poetry, i can't really answer the question of integration. it doesn't need to be integrated into the story - it is the story. i think if you have a reason for something to be there, the very...

    school problem

    Relax. It's just year eleven. The worst thing you could do right now would be to have a nervous breakdown. I think 'they' (the authoritative 'them') would remind you that year eleven is a good time to figure out what's wrong with your study habits. You're probably just unaccustomed to the...

    Pre-Marking

    The resources (ie. teachers, pre-preparation for essays) are available to everyone. Everyone is capable of writing an essay and asking for a teacher to mark it. Keep it in mind that this essay still may not get full marks during the exam because it's a different teacher marking it or because her...

    ignoring the fact that hitler was more likely to be neoclassicist than anything even remotely related to expressionism or more elevated than say, a postcard. <whisper>race doesn't matter when you're an alien host.</whisper>

    James Ruse

    Whilst not arguing with your conclusion, I can't say I understand the logic. :confused: edit: Oh wait, I read that way too literally. I thought you were trying to link a school of german expressionism with Ruse.

    Everyone at Ruse acts as a host to alien parasites with enhanced intellectual capacities. The radiation is what the aliens feed off. But let's keep that a secret, hmm?

    Some Conics Questions

    I didn't think this was possible, since P is (acos@, bsin@) - @ would be the angle subtended at the origin. The only case where angle PNT would be @ is when your normal at P passes through the origin. Doesn't that mean your solution doesn't apply as P moves around the ellipse? Correct me if...
