Working Hard (1 Viewer)

[Confusing]

I have been reading around the forums lately and have begun to wonder what Working Hard actually means in the HSC context, does it just comprise of getting homework and completing it, starting assignments on the first day and reading the dictionary? My question is - What does working hard actually mean to you?

10 hours per day doing questions, summaries of notes, past papers.

The term "working hard" really varies from person to person but my interpretation of it is always completing classwork on time and going that extra step. For e.g. if a teacher mentions that you will be doing a certain science experiment next week, then the person who actually bothers to read what it is and do a bit of investigation on it is the one that is hardworking. With that being said, it also means that you give your work an 100% effort as well as being fully committed to school work.

I'd say it's doing just a lot of "extra" work. Like you do your school work during the day, and do your homework, but also study and practice a considerable amount in addition to those.

All in good fun.

Define study and practice, would you consider that as occasionally reading over school work and reattempting questions in a assigned maths textbook?

Also are Excel books a good source practice? I've heard that they aren't very needed.

Its an extremely subjective concept. I'd say hard work is working near or at your full capacity, whatever that is.

They have good notes, but almost no questions. If you can understand everything in the excel maths books, you can do everything imo

Quantity AND quality. I.e 10 hours a day, where every minute counts.

Working hard = Doing work not in front of a computer.

When I have a computer in front of me, I usually have 1 monitor for socialising, 1 monitor for music, and the last one for the actual textbook itself.

Work becomes less productive, but I end up 'enjoying' work, if that makes sense.
