    Chemistry Versus Physics

    Yeah, but you can answer almost every impact on society question in physics with computers. The only stupid question that shows up is the differing views of planck and Einstein. On the other hand, almost every mark in the chemistry hsc is rote learnt info.

    Chemistry Versus Physics

    Physics: do you understand why something works like this? Chemistry: can you remember the structure, properties, industrial uses, industrial sources, societal impact and history of 32 different things? Whoever can remember the most wins- the closer your answer is to exactly what was written in...

    Chemistry Versus Physics

    Better? They're fairly different, can you give me a scope for better? Ie more fun, more difficult, scales better, more appreciated by universities. I don't think there's an overall better- but in terms of better hsc subject for the hsc, I found physics a better differentiator- while chemistry...

    Wasn't the western legal system founded on Old Testament values? Origin of national law seems relevant.

    University Open Days

    Will be hitting USyd and UNSW on their respective open days. Most excited about the live music- is this a regular thing at these unis, or usually the lawns are quiet?

    Can you lose marks by appealing?

    I once pointed out to a teacher that I had gotten 2/3 parts of a question and hence should have gotten 4/6 not 2/6. She gave me 1/6. Sad how someone so petty is allowed to teach.

    Biomedical or Mechatronic?

    Well, mechatronics/electrical/software engineering are the best in terms of career prospects, while I've heard biomedical is one of the worse options in that respect. Also, if you're looking for career prospects, why not major in management for your commerce degree? It would mesh well with your...

    Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years in jail

    Considering the article itself states that his legal defence for his actions was alcoholic parents, and the closing quote describes him as "young, troubled" and that his actions only "probably (had) a fair bit to do with public interests"- from a media source which SUPPORTS him...

    What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry?

    Re: What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry Minimum you can "learn" is standard. After my 4U exam, to show my friends how convinced I was that I had failed, I took out a book of general math past papers and told them I was dropping down (joking)...

    "Third Gender" declarations on German birth certificates.

    I have no idea how I would feel in that situation, but I'm thinking if I went to the effort of "correcting" it, I would be uncomfortable with something as significant as a birth certificate always reminding me- and potentially people around me- of it. And deformed/mutated isn't a personal...
