    2010 Philosophy Distinction course

    - Yo Ajeet! :D - To 2010ers... :) I thought that I'd just give a summary of the FAQs and try to answer any questions that come up regarding Distinction Courses next year. (Or rather, Distinction Course - as Philosophy is the only one available). 1. What distinction courses are available...

    2 exams in one day !

    I'm not in the situation of having 2 exams in one day, and i sympathise with people who have shocking exam timetables. But i honestly think that by the time the actual HSC rolls around, what real good is an extra day or couple of days going to do? Basically zilch. By that point, cramming or...

    What have you sacrificed for the HSC this/next year.

    Nothing. it's still bludging, but no longer guilt free.

    Notes: Typed Or Written?

    Typing. (but supplemented by writing and hand drawn diagrams). Actually... mostly laptop, because our school provides tablet laptops that we can both write and type on. Best of both worlds really. :spin: Though i have a feeling this laptop attachment could haunt me, considering i've dropped...

    How much study do u do in Holidays?

    How bout, i'm someone who likes the idea of being a dedicated student, and racing ahead during the holidays... But has in fact done little to no work, and the closest i've come to formulating a belonging thesis is pointing out at Bondi Beach "OMG those drunk Irish guys are sooo assimilated...

    ^ thanks! I think that some people on this thread thought about attaching extra records of achievement etc? On the 2003 form the mentioned extracirriculars, but you're right, on the 2008 version outside achievements aren't given much (any?) notice. I gave them the no frills version, just the...

    Distinction Course Discussion

    There is a big question mark surrounding the distinction courses- the Board of Studies is quite likely to phase out the entire Distinction programme, it has been suggested that 2009 is the final year, perhaps 2010 will be the final year. Comparative Literature was cut (2008 cohort is the final...

    What do you feel when you drop a subject?

    ^ don't worry about not doing legal for future Law studies at Uni, it really has minimal (to no) bearing. just concentrate on the subjects you have now, maximise your UAI and get into the law degree of your choice! though it does suck if you miss Legal and it was a fun subject... still...
