I rely way too much on Andrew Harvey's chem notes. LOL, I'm going to fail.
Apparently you can thermally crack ethane to make hydrogen gas and ethene. lulz
wait why is that a lulz.??

lol. It's just the opposite of hydrogenation of ethene.

A lot of my subjects require more than just a 'textbook revised' component of information. This is mainly for the humanities, however. For Ancient my teacher designs a mini booklet of sources (those which she finds most useful for each dot point), as does my Modern Teacher. However, for Modern we also use 2 textbooks for the core, and we used particular chapters out of 3 textbooks for our National Study. For Extension History we are using 3 book, and also some booklets designed by my teacher. Legal and Religion my teachers designs handouts of information, and then also use a single textbook. Earth and Environmental Science I use 2 textbooks.

This is all in conjunction with class notes, summaries, BoS resources though. So there's quite a lot there. But I suppose we are getting detailed information that's best for the HSC, which is important. So no complaints from me. =)
