We don't want to make the subject choices for the HSC students lol

I think it's more along the lines of a teaching model intended to cater for 'gifted and talented' students. I suspect it is about providing a more stimulating learning environment than normal for these types of students so that they are constantly challenged and realise their potential.

Tldr; has anyone actually pointed out that selective schools (at the least high performing ones) are subjected to a slightly different teaching model than a normal school?

An FAQ is not quite a list of rules. The policy of not honouring requested bans existed long before it was written in the FAQ.

There is an obvious moral hazard issue with it. Also, you should take your own responsibilities when it comes to distractions.

There is a missing important statistic in all of this. How many of the existing post-HSC students actually enrolled in science, commerce or engineering have done 2 unit Maths or higher?

I would caution that in some cases there are concepts covered in lectures that are not covered in the textbook and vice versa.

How the hell did they get access to this data? Surely it is confidential...

If you think that article is bad, you should see the ones where they mention Bored of Studies lol

Like Ext2, the Ext1 course also contains problems which require you to apply what you know in an unfamiliar situation. The course also steps up quite a bit in difficulty in Year 12 compared to Year 11. The best way to handle it (on top of doing heaps of practice problem solving questions) is...

Surely you are required to take first year maths with a B Sc degree regardless of major? Also, you cover statistics in psychology so knowing some of that first year maths stuff is pretty important.

Maths is also compulsory in first year for science

Accounting and psychology have very little in common. Economics or even finance (behavioural finance and behavioural economics are emerging fields) would be better but contain a great deal of mathematics in them. As mentioned before, marketing or human resources best complement the psychology...

Why wouldn't you want to major in marketing? It's like the perfect complement to psychology (the other being human resources).

Obviously for academia you need to be phd qualified. For industry, it really depends on the role.

Pretty much this. Most of it is just algebra and differentiation as well as rote learning and plugging numbers into formulas you may not necessarily understand properly.

End looms for $150 million Opal card loophole used by Sydney commuters Read ... London is just as expensive if not more expensive than Sydney. However, they have a massive underground rail system which makes travel within the city very convenient (whereas we only have 6 train stations within...

Definitely. Usually they are research projects or modelling exercises.

I actually found ECOS2903 to be quite easy lol. It's mostly differentiation/optimisation over and over again. But then again I did maths at uni so yeah...

Especially SD
