a lot of the year 11 courses have content which is a bit dry compared to the HSC. personally for Bio this year, patterns in nature was good, but evolution of australian biota is awesome :) the other two were alright...
I agree! I hated local ecosystem and Life on Earth though.
Im excited for yr12 Bio, apparently its really interesting. :)

the course was enjoyable- but i hated life on earth and the evolution of australian biota topic, talk about boring and repetition.

patterns in nature would have to be the best topic so far.

wow thats excellent in that case. i was so close to dropping bio at the end of year 11 due to the fact that i completely and totally loathed the yr 11 course therefore hardly studied or listened and did pretty crap haha.
so happy i looked at the year 12 course before i dropped it otherwise id still be stuck in extension maths.....so depressing! now its probably one of my favourite subjects. :)

good luck in your bio prelims guys. just talk about osmosis and diffusion. you'll be fine lol

I actually found the course pretty decent, enjoyed most lessons due to our great funny teacher. Yea, the HSC course looks exponentially more interesting than the prelim one.

I'm a little intimidated by the HSC course though, i looked through my excdel book and it looks like alota stuff to learn, unlike the prelim course where you've done or covered most topics is basics etc, if you get what i mean. But hell it means we get to learn cool new stuff, cant wait XD.

I like Biology. Especially 'Patterns In Nature'. The other topics were good too, but I liked that one best.
