I am doing an option that the rest of my class is not (The Human Story) cause they are doing genetics, and as we all know genetics are the spawn, spawny spawn at that, of the devil, or bill gates, i am not sure who is eviler....ANYWAY i am kind of scared about doing it by myself so if anyone has any comments or notes or anything they want to share, i would really appriciate it,
Thanks, Em

Ok, this thread is very lonley...is there NO ONE who wants to complain about the enormousness of the bio syllabus and swap tips on how to understand 'the blueprint of life' and other un-understanable things...

 

[rosie-kide]

i agree

yes i agree on ur views on the amounts of bio we have to learn,,

let's protest.

 

[Lee]

protesting will not do crap - haven't you learnt anything from the past


anyway, our class does our option thing as a class, i didn't know you could do it seperatly...why would you want to? wouldn't it be harder?

 

[smegger_em]

I chose to do my options eperatly cause i hate genetics and thats what they were doing and also cause with 'the human story' there is a fair bit of work that was covered in 'life on earth' in yr 11 and also in history and i thought it would be more interesting

 

[Lee]

are you finding it hard?

 

[Chica]

hey pplz, is anyone doing communication as their option, something about an eye experiement??? if anyone can help with notes it would be greatly appreciated!
And i agree. Blueprint of Life is the worst!! But if anyone needs notes on 'The search for better Health' theres some good stuff on this site http://hsc.csu.edu.au/

Hey, we arent doing communication, but this is just to say that nect year they are cutting out 20% of the content for next yrs HSC

 

[smegger_em]

Are you kidding? That is sooooo unfair! We had to deal with abnormally large syllabus, thats stupid, they should too!

 

[Stacey]

Are you serious?? We endure the pain of so much biology, so should everyone else!!

Anyone here actually doing the Biotechnology option?

 

[Mercurial]

Na, my skool is doin "Genetics - The code broken".
Is any1 else doin this option? Cuz its hell hard.

I dont get the stuff on Dihybrid Crosses involving Linked Genes. Could sum1 pleez give me some pointers.

Post some questions and i try to help.

 

[Lee]

we are doing communication and i'm guessing it wil be after the trials since we haven't started it yet! it sounds REALLY boring...

 

[year12_student]

yeah, it's pretty boring. The Board of Studies were probably so lazy they copied the year 9 syllabus...

don't worry if you haven't started it.... most of it you know already from general knowledge and junior science.

Good luck everyone!

 

[Sugardoll]

Our teacher let us choose and i picked the human story. I hate all this genes stuff!

 

[Mercurial]

Has any1 had there trials yet?

Wat skool do u guyz go to?

We're doing Human story-- but as a class (we weren't allowed to pick our own seperately, and in the trials we are expected to answer the human story otherwise they don't mark it or something). Anyways, I thought it was sooo boring! And all those skulls and crap we have to learn it's like what the?!? (a.africanus blah blah blah, the list is soooooo long on the syllabus)
I think it's probably the most boring thing we've done in bio, and what sucked even more was the fact that we had to do it ourselves, because we're running out of time and the teacher goes sooooo slow in class (we got a new teacher at the beginning of the year and that was crappy!)

 

[Jenn]

we are doing human story as well
its not THAT fun...
humans, apes, chimps, we are all the same lol
but arent even learning it with text books.. coz the text book we were using (heinman) doesnt have options...
so we have learn via sheets...

 

[Mercurial]

The HI text books dun have the options right there but they supply u with the info on the net. I advice u to print them out and make a booklet from it.

http://www.hi.com.au/biol/options/login.asp

go to it and it will ask "please fill in the title of Section 7.4 on page 354 of Heinemann Biology" for verification.

Then ur in.
