Distance Ed (1 Viewer)

[hobbsy4]

I'm doing physics this yr (yr 11) by distance ed coz my school isn't large enough to support a class.
anyway, i was wondering if it would be hard to do it by distance ed, because I really want to do physics, and i got a 91 in the SC Science test. I'm also doing 3U maths and chemistry at school. would that make it easier?

what the? ahaha... thats the best... no assessments and no school to waste your time.

but i thought they don't let you do that for science courses... because of the practical side...

nah, a teacher is gonna take me through the prac and all that side of it.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

thats cool... i wish i can do that.

they send you assesments dont they ?

hmm i think it would be difficulkt doing any subject by distance ed. though its up to you whether you're commited to it or not

 

[abdooooo!!!]

assessments? what for? even if you get zero in everything they got nothing to compare to... since you got no classmate.

ie your hsc exam mark = hsc assessment mark.

unless you get sick on the day... ahahaha.

Then you go through some weird complicated stupid misadventure thingy

 

[abdooooo!!!]

but if you never did any assessments then they can't do that... because they've got no proof of your ability. but even if they did have your assessment results they can't judge how good you are because there are no relative comparison... relativity is a must for physics. lol

I suppose, should ask laz about it.

i thought they compare you with those who are doing distance ed as well. there should be a school organiser for distance ed/open high school who will monitor and watch you when your doihg your assesment making sure you dont cheat.

they send you work and i think you have to send it back to them for it to be marked. i think then it gives them some kind of indication about your progress

What happends is that there is a distance education centre based at karabar outside canberra, and they send off all the assessment tasks and you have people in your class, but u don't c them coz they're doing distance ed as well, so its just like a normal class but by correspondence.
