It's badly planned, badly taught and badly assessed. Chose another gen ed course if you can! They were unclear with assessment requirements (and I suspect they changed them just before the assessments were due) and unclear when answering questions. The lecture notes were unhelpful and the...

So if I get accepted into a bachelor of science at Sydney, UNSW and Macquarie (fingers crossed), which has the better science course? Edit: majors in psychology and ecology

I assumed with King Lear that the examiners could ask anything so you basically had to know everything about the play... But every time I write a practice essay my teacher tells me I'm writing about the wrong things... how are we meant to know to write about context if the examiners don't ask us...

Does anyone know where I can find other essay questions (for AOS and advanced) other than the ones on the bored of studies website? I need more than 4 questions per essay so I was wondering if anyone had seen practice questions written by markers that haven't actually been used in an exam? Thanks

Anyone who is doing a science degree (BSc or any other degree, like agriculture or earth sciences or anything), which university do you go to, and what do you think of its science faculty?

What do you guys think of this? As well as teaching kids in school about the dangers of drugs (addiction, overdose, reduced inhibitions, permanent side effects), teachers should teach them DRUG USE SAFETY. For example, instead of saying "ecstasy is bad, don't touch it," they should also say...

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else get slightly creeped out by studying diseases? Every time I have a biology lesson I think I have tetanus or malaria or amoebic dysentery or something. I have no problem with slicing up kidneys, but when it comes to talking about germs... *shudders* Anyone...

Which do you prefer?

Ok so I have my essay question (finally), it's about how Ives influenced Cage and Crumb. But I need one specific piece for each composer... for Ives, the most influential piece he wrote, and for Cage and Crumb, a piece which was obviously influenced by Ives. It's a long shot but if anyone knows...

Oh man I feel like the biggest nerd asking this, but we did a titration prac as an assessment the other day and it's driving me insane. I thought my method and equipment and calculations and everything were fine, everyone who looked at them thought they were fine, but my results were a bit...

Ok I take these now for my performances to stop my hands shaking. I don't have a problem with it but a few of my friends say that it's not good to rely on them, and that it's a bit like cheating, and that you should learn to perform without them. My teacher says that most of the people he...

I know annastina has done a thread like this but I didn't want to take it over, so... I play 8th grade cello and I was going to do Brahms concerto in e min (1st movement) as my ensemble piece, but my teacher said it might count as a solo because it's for cello and piano, not cello and orchestra...

Anyone got any suggestions for which topic I should do for my elective? I can do Music of a culture, Medieval music, Renaissance music (I think), and Music from 1945 to 25 years ago. Just wanted to know general stuff about the topics before I choose one.

I would just like to announce that I'm sick of work... just as we're given a million assessments and everyone starts going "you need to start working now," I'm completely over working. I worked real hard first two terms and now it's just a pain in the ass. I didn't even do that well in my exams...

Just wondering, anyone who has done musicology, is it as boring as everyone says it's gonna be? I'm doing it for my elective this year.

Do most people want to go to a university here or will you go overseas?

Did anyone with a UAI over 95 study LESS than the recommended amount?

Is it worth watching?

I just wanted to see how many people actually watch/have watched this... or am I a freak, alone with my obsession? :) My parents bought us the WHOLE thing for Christmas, I'm talking every single video.

Like maths teachers are always really tight, and sports teachers are really dumb, and english teachers are philosophical... any other stereotypes?
