    "implication" and "effect"

    Basically. They're not quite the same. "Implications" may be used to to refer to the predicted outcomes - or effects. So for example, the implications involved with not studying for the 2011 HSC may be achieving a lower mark and thus getting a lower ATAR. It is not explicit - "implic"-action...

    What content from the Prelim course Economics will I need for Yr 12?

    Yeah, as everyone else has said, you need to know all of it. Year 11 are the very basics; without some kind of understanding of them you can't apply it to economies and sectors as a whole. Which is, essentially, what the Year 12 course entails. You're applying theory to different economies and...

    Financing a deficit help

    America does not print out money to finance its deficits. And fiscal and monetary policy are connected; the most effective and stragetic policies/stances taken are those that consider others, and the effects of those policies. If a contractionary budget stance is adopted, then inflation is...

    Need essays marked, will pay

    No, I don't. But seriously, that's what your teacher & English faculty are for. Ask them to mark it. And if it was a different perspective/opinion you wanted, then ask someone at another school to mark it. It's a lot cheaper and probably more reliable.

    Belonging Creative Writing Ideas

    You can get full marks with two pages. So yes, it's possible.

    What electives do/did you do in yrs9/10?

    Photography, art and IST. I changed from art to IST in year 10. My art teacher couldn't handle my artistic talents. Or my vision. Apparently painting a portrait of ET wearing a wig is not the same as a portrait of a "person with an odd body position".

    How Do we prepare for Eco's trial essay questions?????

    You shouldn't. But you won't gain any marks by writing more than is strictly necessary. If you can be as concise as possible, so only giving enough detail/explanation to get the marks, then you're limiting the time spent on any one question. And honestly, you're better off spending the time it...

    Business Report

    You definitely don't get zero if you don't answer the question properly. You shouldn't, anyway. Having an attempt should guarantee you at least 1 mark, as long as it's considered a "serious" attempt. As for report writing problems, it's hard to say what to do. Is it that you end up waffling...

    Trials - English paper 1, questions?

    Yeah, hopefully is right. We weren't given reading time at all in the HSC. Well, for Paper 1. But they should definitely be separate - 2hrs wiriting & 10min reading.

    Belonging: Related Text

    I used The Arrival as one of my related texts. I don't have any notes however (I threw all of my HSC stuff out as soon as finished my last exam), and you should really make your own notes & come up with your own ideas so it supports your thesis as best as possible. Having said that, I will give...

    Economics Essay Introduction

    Too long. As someone else said, economics isn't english. You want it to be as short and concise as possible. You should 1. Brief link to question 2. Define key terms Then move straight on. At least, that's what my economics teacher constantly told us. Although she said "Just define the key...

    help with my belonging creative writing!!!!

    Look, pretty much everything is cliched when it comes to creative writing. But I'd stay away from terminally ill stories unless you're confident you'll do it extremely well. This is an extract from The Wounded Storyteller by Arthur W Frank. It's a quote from a woman, Gail, who suffered chronic...

    Belonging: Related Text Suggestions

    The selected works of Emily Dickinson was my core text. I used a couple of different articles by Micheal Leunig & The Arrival by Shaun Tan. But I recently saw a scene from the movie Smoke. Not sure who the director is. It looked like it would be really good for belonging, and allow people to...

    Belonging Creative Writing Ideas

    Honestly, that sounds very cliched. Yes, it's pretty much impossible to come up with an original idea, but the whole thing - kid who is teased and feels like she doesn't belong runs away - is extremely overused. Your writing doesn't have to be centered around such an obvious example of...

    Advice on motivation for study? :S

    I really shouldn't be giving advice on studying (because I'm only answering this to avoid doing work... and until this year had never studied more than two days prior to a test), but what I want to say is don't worry about how other people are doing. That will just stress you out and make you...

    Economics Marathon - 2010

    Individuals: - lower prices (reduction of protection, industries forced to become more competitive or fail, reallocation of resources, economies of scale etc) - increased consumer purchasing power - higher living standards (wider range of good available because of an increase in Ms, increase in...

    Thoughts on the Half Yearly Exams

    At least it's a not a high weighting yet... I have no idea how you (or anyone else) can do extension and advanced - I would have had a breakdown by now if I hadn't dropped it last year.

    Thoughts on the Half Yearly Exams

    I've finished all my exams and they've been fine so far. I just have an english speech left... that I haven't written yet. Mainly because I hate belonging. And the belonging assessment questions/statements. It takes me a ridiculously long time to develop & write a thesis because I disagree with...

    Belonging Thesis

    Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it, but I disagree with quite a few things you mentioned. I never wrote that "We all need to have a strong sense of identity in order to belong (or vice versa)" - My thesis is more about the inverse; how the individuals interpretation and...

    Belonging/not belong

    In order to 'belong' one has to conform in some form, and the need to do so (in my opinion) means that no one can truly belong - the individual must sacrifice certain aspects of their identity that would not be accepted. And those who do not feel as if they belong may find a form of acceptance...
