    purchase The Big Sleep

    I just went to Grace Bros/Myer and bought a copy of the DVD for 16 dollars that had both the Director's Cut and the normal version on the one disk - there were quite a few copies too. I just reccomend going to the nearest large shopping centre and looking around, and if you cant see it on the...

    Chemistry or Entertainment?

    I booth agree and disagree with Casmira - its possible to greatly pick up your marks in chemistry, this is quite true however you must look at whether you have reasons enough for doing so. For instance if you were doing a science degree in university it would be beneficial to do some science in...

    HSC @ TAFE

    Hi Alex, congratulations on your upcoming CGVE completion:D That might be a bit tricky, as every single person in the state finishes each subject at the exact same time you see, so you'd *have* to finish in October or November next year with everyone else - sorry.:( However there might be...

    Physical journey in a video game

    Hmm, a friend of mine did Final Fantasy 10 actually, and he went well - I too attempted to use that text but ended up not going ahead with it. I think its doable, and you can score good marks with it but at the end of the day unless you can get your hands on the script of the game and have...

    Song Analysis

    Some things you might look at are: The repetition in the chorus of certain lines to emphasis or even undercut certain ideas. Symbolism and imagery in the lyrics to represent certain ideas. The tone of the music - is it harsh or deep to represent more negative emotions? Those are just a...

    The Name

    Rather than just sticking it in your journal, why don't you reflect on why you can/cant use it anymore? And how does this affect your progression? 'Twould be a wonderful thing to have all these little bits and pieces of commentary from you in the journal that could contribute to your reflection...

    Assessment: Proposal

    Well, I find its difficult to add much to this thread but here goes: Remember what this assessment is, and why you are doing it! You are discussing your ideas, how they are worthwhile, how you might pull them off and how and why you *should* pull it off. This is essentially the Board of...

    The Silmarillion (Prequel to the Hobbit --> Prequel to LOTR)

    I've read it - and honestly I did not greatly enjoy it. It essentially is several sequences from early Middle Earth( and Aman)'s history, ranging from the recounting of the creation myth to the story of Luthien Tuniviel, of Gondolin, the flight of Earwen and so on. It does reveal Tolkien's...

    The Name

    For my process I separated it out in to the major scenes and then basically did V 1.0 etc. and I found this helped me deal with it bit by bit as well as keeping legible records.

    Distinction Courses

    You are correct in that its old info(hence the" usually 3unit" bit) however essentially what it states is true - *technically* you should be accelerated in at least one subject at the highest level that subject is offered ie Ext 2 for Maths and English, Ext 1 for Music, History and Languages...

    Number of units?

    I'd just like to clear this up - it is not that the Extensions are easier courses, it is that they require a different style of thinking than Advanced and thus many people find it more enjoyable and that contributes to how well you do in the course. Of course it also helps that the Extensions...

    Failing...

    There is no such thing as failing the HSC exam, you can get low marks which may lower your UAI but you will still get a HSC. As for college/uni acceptance, there are a lot of ways you can access university without a high UAI or in some situations no UAI at all. And there is a link in my sig...

    Scaling Question

    Sort of - the school does send in marks, but they are analysed comparatively rather than directly. Scaling for the non extension subjects is basically a comparison how each person in each subject did in each of their subjects compared to people in others subjects, UAC correlates the data...

    Scaling Question

    Hey lisraeli, it works something like this: Your HSC exam marks are the standard for the entire state to measure up against as you don't know how hard each teacher marks or how hard the assessment questions were. This means your assessment mark that your school or TAFE sends in will be...

    Why did only humans develop our great brains?

    Ah - but rapid reproduction would have been a response to a need also - we developed our cognitive skills so we could solve more complex problems and thus become dominant, if stupidity was expedient we would have that instead. Looking at the example I made above you can see birds that...

    What are you currently Reading?

    I am currently reading Firethorn by Sarah Micklem. So far it seems to be less about sorcery and violence and more about romance and pride, but still contains a fair amount of all 4.
