    How good are the professors at Macquarie for Actuarial Studies?

    I've met with some of them(yes ik extra) and they seem to be fine in my opinion. At least the ones I spoke to anyway.

    can we disagree with the question / stimulus in Mod C ?

    Yes but I wouldn't recommend unless you are extremely confident in how you do it. One main issue with disagreeing is that people tend to do it when they don't like the question and attempt to make their own questions. If you do disagree you need to continuously refer back to the question itself...

    Form in 1984

    It is possible for them to ask about form via storytelling more speciifcally. As you know I don't personally do 1984 but you should try to make sure most of your techniques are things prevalent throughout the text ie metaphors, characterisation, imagery etc. since that novel tends to use quite a...

    Can someone check my responses from Text 1 to Text 3 (English Studies)

    I didn't read everything but from the first page it looks aight. Would recommend using techniques for every example or quote you provide though.

    mod c

    Ok so drawing from one of my Mod C texts, A home in fiction, an extended metaphor of the ocean/water is used throughout as a way for the composer to explore the power of writing. And in an earlier discursive I wrote at like the start of year 12 I used a plant as an extended metaphor(though this...

    mod c

    Anecdotes are your best friend and they don't even have to be real(which is the best part). Rhetorical questions are also a staple of discursive so would recommend. So just find a third technique which you vibe with.(allusions and extended metaphors and recurring motifs come to mind.) Also make...

    Highlighting your own quotes for english - which colour?

    I don't think they penalise people for overwriting so pop off I guess.

    mod c

    Well that's the thing about English, it is subjective. As long as you can explain why you took it in such a way in your reflection you should be fine. For instance one stimulus I came across was about wolfs and I wrote about constancy vs change because the extract kept repeating the word haha.

    mod c

    Its on the topic of time but like uniqueusername1 has said earlier they can ask for specific ideas like memory, love, art, appearance vs reality etc. Mod C is designed to counteract memorisation technqiues hence why you should be prepared in some way to tackle a question on the spot.

    Module C EXAM QUESTION

    Judging from last year, they can force us but I doubt they would repeat what they did last year.

    Help!! I cant write english essays in time

    So for mod B I'm actually doing an artist of the floating world, however I feel like 3 poems would be optimal because you can dedicate one paragraph to each.

    mod c

    I have memorised 1 creative piece but I'm still prepared to write something on the spot just in case, and tbh I'm leaning more towards writing a discursive just because I like stream of consciousness haha.

    mod c

    Yep your story doesn't need to be complex it just needs to have a purpose and show a good use of techniques. Like I literally wrote a story about a guy getting ready for a party for my mod C exam.

    mod c

    Definitely go with persuasive if that's what you feel the strongest about. Regarding Mod C creatives, its good to have imagery but make sure to not oversaturate your piece with it. Also remember the piece is simply a vignette and doesn't require a lot of complex actions etc. I read a piece which...

    Help!! I cant write english essays in time

    Conclusion should be a summarisation of your argument as well as a good opportunity to reinforce the fact that you are in fact answering the question. My mod A and B essays are roughly the same word length 1100-1200 each and typically they take like 42 mins to finish which results in me...

    mod A Keats and Campion question help

    I do 3 examples for Keats and 2 for Campion(mainly cause it takes time to explain plus I want to do my comparison in that para)

    mod A Keats and Campion question help

    I think either forms work well for this question. This question is definitely interest but in all honesty any Keats and Campion essay you write should discuss everything mentioned in the question anyway so I wouldn't consider changing styles for the question. Additionally I personally do...
