Confused about whether to take BIOS1101 Evolutionary and Functional Biology or BABS2202 Molecular Cell Biology 1 next semester. Anyone with any experience in any of these two courses that can help please?

Yeah, checked the outline. But it only has a really stringent rule of minimum 80% attendance at labs or you fail the course, so wasn't too sure about tutorials. They never seem to say anything when people miss a lot either, which doesn't really help haha.

Yeah, CHEM1011. Right, so if someone isn't too worried about failing the course, then attendance doesn't really matter for them?

Hey guys, Really freaking confused about attendance at chem tutorials (and others for that matter). A lot of people are saying that two is the maximum you can miss/skip but others say that they don't even look at the attendance unless you fail the course. Anyone know how this actually works?

ah okay, thanks. Our school got our works sent back already apparently, so I guess no one got in from ours LOL

Any one aware of when ArtExpress nominations come out? :)

Hey guys, hope everyone who has exams is going well :) Does anyone know if they've started marking the works yet or when we get them back? Just curious haha.

ah okay, cheers. Hopefully I'm not *too* fucked

any estimates for band 5? lel

Yeah I checked your other posts in VA; thank you so much. It's genuinely so motivating haha. I've experimented with perspex, which is the medium that I'm working with. Something akin to this...

Of course, depending on your cohort, the estimate varies from year to year, but with those final HSC marks your ATAR should come to anywhere between 89-94. It could be higher or lower than those, but not by much so don't worry; you've done a good job man. How the hell did you go so well in VA...

Hey man :) Good to hear that you've gotten somewhere-it sounds like you're doing pretty well. I've got an idea of what I'm doing, but still a little torn between two ideas. Don't know whether to explore the effect of social expectations on the human face or ephemeral and transient moments. My...

Hey guys so I'm currently in year 11 and in a couple of days, year 12 starts. So pretty much HSC. I was wondering what the best way was to organise and keep notes and papers for each subject. I am planning on buying normal school books for each subject and then having a ring folder for each...

hahaha yeah that makes sense, I'll start thinking of more ideas. Thanks for the help :) Good luck for you BoW too!

In terms of the technical side of the process: want to use sheets of perspex (like glass material) and paint on each one and when the sheets are placed in front of one another, a 3D sort of image is created, like the example in the link. I just don't want to "copy" the idea that the student did...

Yeah, we do have to keep a VAPD (visual arts process diary) to document everything etc etc. I'm fine with that, but the problem is that I really want to do something really similar to this particular work that I saw. This is a link to the work, if you have any suggestions at all on how to make...

ah okay that makes sense, cheers :). I have another question, If your bow idea happens to be really similar to, say another work that was featured in ArtXpress 3-5 years before your HSC year, will the markers notice/care?

Had a question about the actual process of marking the HSC VA major works: How many times is the major work actually marked, I'm kind of confused atm. Also: - Do the markers come to your school or do you have to send your BOW somewhere? - Are the HSC markers the same each year for each school?

Cheers for the advice guys, decided to keep it for a few week or so next term and actually do my work, to see how things shape up. If I still screw it up then I'll drop. :)

Yeah that's true, I don't want to be stressed out next year because I don't understand 3U. I pretty much have my mind set on dropping it, but then I go to other threads and people are saying things similar to "just stick with 3U, it makes 2U maths really easy" and I just don't even know anymore...
