Yes it's an example of law reform. Law reform doesn't necessarily have to be done via the law reform commissions. The term just means that the law is to be changed for some reason - usually from the perspective that social change is required. The Marriage Act was amended to allow for same-sex...

If the text given to you contains a name (i.e. a letter or e-mail is addressed to you), use that. If not, make up your own fake name.

Pretty sure General 1 is non-ATAR.

Ill start with the second one because it might be a little easier to picture. Opposite to what many believe, liquid water is constantly turning into water vapour (the gas phase). Evaporation occurs at the ocean, seas, rivers, lakes, etc. causing vapour to rise from these bodies of water and...

When you look at a molecule, (especially larger ones), there are many bonds. Each bond has a dipole (provided the right conditions - i.e. two atoms with differing electronegativities). The net dipole is the sum of all these dipoles in each individual bond. The net dipole is what will determine...

Aluminium foil is generally used to trap heat, and it could be that any heat energy trapped inside or coming in from the outside is bouncing around on the inside and heating up the ice. The other thing is that water has what is called a high specific heat capacity (you will learn this in...

Don't skip the calculations entirely because you can get 1 mark usually just for writing down the chemical equation and then another mark for writing the first steps of the equation. Make sure you learn all the dot-points relating to development of theories, processes, etc. and the societal...

Double check in both the prescribed texts document and the English syllabus, but I'm almost 100% sure that you cannot use a prescribed text as a related text EVEN IF you aren't studying it at your school. Besides, it might be a good idea to use a lesser known related text or at least one that...

The Bored of Studies doesn't provide you with raw marks

Start of broadly by discussing how the study of morphology may have influenced the creation of the Linnaean system of classification (K, P, C, O, F, G, S). Then go into some of these individual taxa and describe how the classifications within those have changed over time. I think the easiest one...

30 examples of textual evidence doesn't necessarily mean 30 long, fully-analysed quotes. In any given essay, 10-15 quotes with techniques is a good aim (or if studying a film - then around 8-10 scenes). Then the rest of the quotes don't need to be analysed completely to the extent where the...

Just to add on to what others have said, make sure you include also recent reform to the criminal justice system surrounding young offenders. HSC Legal Studies goes into more details on this issue, but it definitely doesn't hurt to get a head start on the crime unit for next year. Do some...

1. All cells with the exception of gametes (sex cells), red blood cells and B cells (cells used in the body's immune response to fight off antigens) have the same DNA and therefore the same chromosomes in them. This is because when cells replicate, their DNA also replicates and thus you get...

Contact UAC directly on (02) 9752 0200 or 1300 275 822 to retrieve your UAC number and PIN http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/faq/uac-pin.shtml You won't have a UAC number unless you've completed an application.

Well I'd like to think that entry to universities is based on more than just the ATAR but because all applications go centrally through UAC I think unfortunately it wouldn't be beneficial to contact them. Its not as simple as them being able to put in a good word for you. Not sure about the...
