We have to do quanta to quarks but it's the one I'd most like to do anyway. I'm looking forward to it.

wohoooo... Medical Physics.....

but i think all the options for physics are interesting... but i'm just gladwe get to do this module...

oh by the way.. if in an exam... can we answer the questions to another module....

i've herad that some people study one option in school and then 1 on their own... and which ever is easier is the one they decide to do in the actual exam...

Is this allowed?....

can't see why it would not be allowed

I intend to do the same think with chem and bio. But I'm not sure if i'm going to do it with physics

It is allowed, however, most people, including myself, strongly reccommend you do the one you study in class.

its allowed cause there is no way they can determine what u have done in class, however, if u have spent like 8 weeks on it in class, u should know the stuff better then stuff u havent, some cases i have heard of where people did change was wen they didnt even finish the topic, but theyre tutor taught a different elective at their school and taught them the entire topic over a period of time, basically, u have to do the elective ur skool chooses in ur trial so u may as well do it in hsc...

We have to do astrophysics. It is the most unbelievably boring topic! Yeah...Lets look at stuff we've already done numerous times before!!!
I wanted to do quanta to quarks, it looks the most interesting and fun.

I asked the teacher if i can learn "Age of Silica" since I already have some background on electronics and circuits but he said we have to do Quanta to Quarks since it's "interesting" (yeah right.. i'm bored to death every physics lesson)

quanta to quarks!

i've already done the option, how can u say its boring!!

fancy learning about particles smaller than protons and neutrons, which are then made up of even smaller things!!!

its soo interesting, bosons, hadrons, leptons u'll love it!

We are doing Quanta to Quarks, coz it is the one that our physics teacher knows best. Have my trial paper tomorrow, and I think I can do ok, except I missed 3 weeks of quanta to quarks. Bit of a Bummer.
