    Annotated Reference List

    Just out of curiosity, how long have past students' annotated reference lists been? Have they been mostly novels or mostly articles?

    Extra classes?

    All extension subjects at my school are either before or after school. The times are decided by a discussion with the class and teacher. We had the choice for Enx1 to have a saturday class, needless to say everyone chose the morning option.

    what exactly constitutes a related text?

    A related text is any form of media (written, visual, aural etc) that relates to your core texts and/or the themes associated with your Module. Although this is for Ext 1, I know a girl who is using an artwork as one of her Belonging related texts. When using other forms of media other than...

    10 units and major works

    That may be so, but it is a lot of sustained research and effort just like an externally marked major work. Plus, we have nine months to research but it obviously contributes significantly to our internal ranks (at my school, the project has a 35% weighting - not sure about other schools. But...

    10 units and major works

    I just don't know. Ten is great to focus specifically on your strongest subjects, and to get rid of the weakest links. I think that doing EE2 is a risk, but then again, a Humanities subject where they throw you a very obscure question or a very obscure and unexpected paper is just as much of a...

    10 units and major works

    So, I'm currently contemplating dropping to ten units. I do Ext 2 English, Modern History, Ancient History, Society and Culture, SOR 2 and History Extension. I am seriously considering dropping Ancient History and dropping SOR 2 to SOR 1 and just doing ten units. I don't want advice on what...

    Radiography at usyd?

    My Dad is a radiographer and they constantly have Sydney Uni students doing their clinical blocks at his work. Although there is not a high demand for radiographers at the moment because of the graduate over-supply, chances are you may get lucky and be employed by them (Dad's work recently hired...

    Is it true that...

    Wealthy people are associated with crime/violence/fear too. A drive-by occurred at John Ibrahim's home in Dover Heights in July. I'm sure his wealthy and affluent neighbours were perpetually influenced with the gun shots and violence that occurred. There's violence everywhere, just as there are...

    Do they ask you prelim stuff in the HSC exam?

    You need Prelim stuff for your depth studies. The HSC course for SOR builds on the fundamental knowledge that is learnt in Prelim. Examples include when studying ethics (sexual, environmental, biological), you can't accurately understand their beliefs unless you've studied the principle beliefs...

    *Related text suggestions for AS YOU LIKE IT

    Work out the themes of the text and their relationship with belonging - i.e. belonging to place, family, wider world etc. Find a related text and link the text to these themes. Look up well-known poets/directors/scour recent newspaper articles and magazines. There's bound to be something.

    Is this a good P.I.P idea?

    You'll have to consider the ethical dilemmas associated with this topic. You'd have to be careful with your primary and secondary research, because you are dealing with something that is against the law. In order to answer how common it is, you could probably find statistics which detail the...

    Has anyone had a Science teacher who is normal??

    In year 7 or 8, I had a really nice fresh out of uni woman take us for science. For 3 weeks she replaced my weird science teacher who refused to shave her arms and legs and would continually wear sleeveless shirts and lift up her arms. But the replacement was pretty and young, she seemed...

    English Extension 2?

    There are classes. Mine are once a week after school for 2 hours, but some schools may differ in their approach. Any of the mediums will be rewarded with a good mark if you put in the time to research, plan, and to consult with teachers/mentors (not just your ext 2 supervisor). Reading...
