Re: The p00n thread

how? bs'ing it? won't you sound stupid? like imagine what the teacher is thinking when she/he reads your essays or something... lol

Actually you make yourself sound smart, when essentially you don't care nor know whats going on. It's about convincing them you know what's going on.

wait. What?

The teacher (should) know the text inside out. You don't (well very minimal) and when you bullshit all your essays, it won't make yourself sound smart as you have no idea what's going on whereas the teacher does. So wouldn't the teacher be able to pick up that you're bullshitting since some parts of your essays or whatever doesn't make any sense?

Am i missing something

My english teacher is a HSC marker and knows what bullshit is and what isn't.

He will dock you marks for not making sense, so don't try and bullshit stuff in English, it may work internally due to teachers not knowing how to mark, but in the HSC it won't work.

I never meant you make stuff up about the text, but you don't need to know the WHOLE thing.

Markers, in general so others besides teachers, don't need to know the text inside out though

Well basically,

this is how I see it:

There's the good simple analytical BS. Sounds simple but you hit the points for those marks.

Then there's the bad BS (that can sound good but like... yeah) --> misuse of sophistication and flair --> resulting in poor expression and syntax --> marker goes WTF.

Then there's also the English pros who know how to use sophistication alongside analytical deconstruction.

At English at uni, all I did was listen very closely to what the girls in my class were saying about the book... and develop on those further in private. Worked for me!


So technically, yes - you can do well if you just listen to what the others say in your class, hopefully they're quite talkative

I'm a tad worried with Advanced English atm, since I'm pretty sure that it will probs bring down everything since it's mandatory and all. We'll see with the next assessment for MX1/MX2 though Legal Studies and Economics are going decently atm.

 

[enak101]

Well, I'm the only kid left in 2U maths, the rest went down to general, so that's interesting. My moderated assessment mark is whatever my exam mark is now, right?

I have a biology assignment and excursion coming up, anyone else going to the disease place at unsw?

Work is going okay, I really need to catch up for maths though, just finished prelim up recently, only 8 chapters for this textbook compared to 10 for prelim though.

PDHPE stuff about ATP/Lactic Acid, Stroke Volume, VO2 Max crap is boring haha, Read Jane Eyre for English, what a mediocre book. I generally need to study more.

 

[OMGITzJustin]

enak, you must be indo

 

[enak101]

indo? please explain further, I'm getting Indonesian but that doesn't make much sense.

Never heard of that before. And the physiological adaptations or whatever in PDHPE is the best it gets (for me personally).

Wow, Only kid left in 2U, That's awesome hahaha! Yeah I'm going to the disease place but not until like Term 2 or 3.

 

[enak101]

Fair enough, we are covering psychological stuff in training etc soon, which sounds okay. What have you never heard of before exactly?

 

[enak101]

Oh, fair enough, ours is in a few weeks time, it sounds interesting at least.

Only found that part interesting, the rest - meh.

Everyone dropping from 2u except one kid haha.

Haha, I actually enjoyed the social type stuff, socio-economic status etc. Core 1 stuff.

Yeah, its a low ranking school and my cohort isn't great, not that I'm that great at 2 unit anyway haha, I just want it enough to bother staying in to try. Also my cohort is like 40 kids haha, not even a country school.

Re: The p00n thread

i'm guessing that your school wasn't as fast? :L

hey enoilgram do you remember at that bos meat carrot showed me how to add ordinates since i was struggling with it and that i got it?

well now i forgot how to do it LOL HAHAHA

I can't remember how fast we were in Eco but I don't think we were THAT fast.

For Prelim Physics, we were slow as fuck for the 1st module. Took us 9 weeks iirc to finish it. This caused our teacher to rush Module 4 --> he just fed us gazillions of sheets and said ''learn it yourself'' before the prelim finals.

haha wow thank god i don't do any sciences ^_^ were slow as fuck in maths because we have people who can't even multiply (srs) doing it. This chick was like "miss what's 6 times 8?" and they don't know how to add fractions. So I just spend my maths lessons on facebook on my school laptop ^_^ thank you tafe account lol

What you on about?

Science is the best mang *coughs* *coughs*. In terms of aligning, Economics pales in comparison to Physics + Chemistry despite their rivalry in terms of scaling.

Even Aysce can confirm humanities pales in comparison to sciences like Chemistry~~~

(in all srsness, long live humanities . Who cares about the speed of your maths class, you're so ahead already. You should do your maths tutor hw in maths class then.)
