EE2 where i believe we haven't done enough compared to what i did last time.

Chem were actually ahead i think we're up to Energy now .

English i think we may be slightly behind, cause the teacher went on holidays for 4 weeks, and we had to go in with the other class and ours felt really uncomfortable and as if we didn't learn anything.

Maths Right on track.

Bio perfect i think but i'm actually ahead in work.

Food tech were perfect

Geography slightly behind due to SGP crap that happened but otherwise fine.

That sucks, i have a really awesome chem teacher actually - he teaches directly via the syllabus and our class notes are under syllabus dot points so its really easy to study from. Oh and he's funny as hell :p

Exactly like my teacher :( All we get is handouts, and I have to self teach myself.

Anyway:

English - On track, going to do a comparative study on American Beauty and The Catcher in the Rye, the main topic being the American Dream.
Math Ext - Doing derivatives, then one more topic to go after.
Chem - Continuation of Water module
Phys - Moving about. I don't seem to grasp the concepts...I have a lot of catching up to do on Electrical Energy in the Home and Moving About.
Bio - Continuation of Life on Earth module. Bio teacher is terrible, feeding us with handouts and loads of unnecessary homework.
Eco - Labour markets.

Business Studies - Finished Key Business Functions, Year 12 Marketing and Yr 12 Accounting and Finance (we don't learn Yr 11 stuff for some reason) and we're up to the next Topic (whatever that is).

Software Design & Development We've been having this prac teacher, so I don't know where the hell we are up to - but I'm pretty sure we're behind.

So basically up to speed with evertything except for Software Design and Development - stupid practical teacher.

English: about on track, although we have a couple of assignments due in a short period of time so are going to be a bit thrown around (especially since some people apparently need to be taught how to write a narrative...)

Maths B: way behind! the main class is fine, but I'm teaching myself and am about a chapter behind and not really understanding anything at the moment...but I'm going to work really hard and use all my spares to catching up and hopefully will be right by the end of the week... doing calculus of periodic functions, man I hate periodic functions!! :mad:

Maths C: right on track, doing stuff with complex numbers

Biology: I don't have a clue, I've been staring out the window... As far as I know we are going fine, though...doing ecology, ecosystems, classification

Chemistry: Apparently we're a couple of days behind because no-one's been doing their homework, but that's hardly anything...

Physics: Perfect :D Thermal physics is coming along so nicely at the moment...


disclaimer: yes I am from a different state as most people, and the syllabus is different... :D
