    how can i improve my writing?

    I don't think watching the news or reading it would help with improving your written expression tbh, the language used in news etc is always quite detached, objective, and more suited to reports than the style of writing expected of your teacher. If you're looking to improve essay writing read...

    What value life?

    I don't agree with quantatively measuring the value of human life but i can understand how and why the need to do so would arise. I think the main reason people refuse to acknowledge that a dollar value can be rightfully given to human life is not because of religion but because it challenges...

    How many hours of study a night?

    +1 I used this method throughout Yr7 to 11 and its always worked fine. But then i started going to a few hsc study lectures (tsfx etc) in yr12 and got told that writing notes was an inefficient way to learn and that i was wasting precious time. So abandoned the act of rewriting my notes, and...

    Subject Selections Help.

    Its good that you have the right attitude :) Like some one already mentioned, just try to be consistent in your study. If thats a problem then you might consider getting yourself a tutor.

    Increase validity

    I think you may be getting reliability and validity mixed up when referring to research dot points. To ensure that information is valid or accurate you would have to compare different sources to ascertain any discrepencies in the information. To ensure that the information is reliable you...

    The McDonald's Thread

    I think with your experience you'd be better off at a better place (possibly higher paying) than maccas anyway. But yeah, i worked at maccas a couple of years ago when i was 16 and it was my first job experience. A 20yr old guy with far more experience was after the job as well but i got it...

    positive and negative feedback ?

    I think negative feedback system is the only one relevant to the Maintaining a Balance module for HSC Biology. Negative feedback mechanism is coordinated by our Central Nervous System (brain/spinal cord) basically regulates the homeostatic set points for certain components of our internal...

    Books that made you fall asleep

    PD James' The Skull Beneath The Skin never fails to put me to sleep. Not once. In all the 19 or so times i've attempted to read it through. & I'm a pretty tolerant person when it comes to books too, but my god. :sleep:

    Ranks get released at 5pm today whos excited? :D

    Just a quick question. So i've become aware that gaps (mark-wise) between internal assessment rankings play a role in the determination of final HSC Assessment mark that contributes 50% to our HSC. Theoretically speaking the closer the gaps are between students' marks the better for the cohort...

    So those of you who got tutored, do you think it really made a difference?

    I was tutored in Year 7, 8, 10, consistently for Maths and English. Then went solo for Year 11 up to half yearlies to see how i'd go. Turned out that i performed better than i ever did in year 7 -10, except for Maths. Picked up Maths tutoring again til start of year12. Then went solo for HSC...

    for those doing 10 units...

    Thats stupid. You can start off with 12 units if you are unsure of your strengths as of yet and wait until half yearlies or something and then drop down to your best 10 that you will carry with you and focus on fro the HSC. But keeping 12 or 13 units throughout one year for the sole purpose of...
