Yeah, this. The album is fucking great so I'm fairly sure I'll be buying a CD copy as soon as it comes out but really, whoever is still holding onto the concept of staggered releases clearly overestimates my ability to resist temptation. I read somewhere a while back (can't source, sorry...

Copyright infringement and stealing are not necessarily synonymous.

:| I love the part where we were all informed about this at the beginning of the process and given the opportunity to voice concerns as an enfranchised public.

I think file-sharing/pirating/whatever broadens the public's musical exposure because they don't have to rely on chain stores like Sanity etc to tell them what music is good enough to be worth stocking. And then this can work out well for artists because more people listening to their music =...

Arts/Law. I do History, German and Government subjects ... 20th century Euro history next semester? I am. What course do you do?

+1 to the rest of your post but I am struggling with the image of 11 year olds in any century doing year 12 trigonometry/binomial theorem etc.

Lol, I remember opening my MAX2 textbook for the first time (to complex numbers and then polynomials) and my face was just o.00000. But OT -> if you want good marks you have to do more than just memorise the textbook.

We have the school certificate to provide the absolute essentials of maths. It would make sense to finish teaching these essentials before kids reach the end of mandatory education and start optional education - i.e. years 11-12. I don't know what UMEP is, but it's not in the proposed...

lolwhut. I was in that lecture :). Other gems from this guy include his many tales of Florence's cafes, why academics Know More Than You Do About Life and many pointless, pointless Youtube videos. Also he likes to use the word pedagogical. A lot. And he likes to tell us all about...

Not if you've got a shit textbook. Though I'm not sure I really see where you're going here. Are you asking 'If I learn the course thoroughly, will I do well?' Because if you are, come on.

With regard to Maths, if the federal government thinks it would be better to 1) reduce the expected standards by making something like Essential Maths a year 11-12 program, 2) strip a chunk of 4U content, thereby reducing the challenge for students of higher potential while also 3) leaving a...

By the end of the year? With actual practice you can easily do 40 more hours by September at the latest. With judicious forging, sooner. I really wouldn't bother with any faking other than generously rounding up the minutes of each trip you do.

:spzz: But 4U isn't as hard as it's made out to be. Sure there's ridiculously difficult questions but then you get papers like last year's, where the first 4 questions were really very kind IIRC. Also, proven method: skip anything that looks difficult, scrape maybe 67-70% raw and end up with...

Personally, I don't think there would be a good equivalent example. The School Certificate is the end goal for year 10 students and it's not designed to be answered by only 2% of candidates so if you're trying to find extra super extremely hard year 10 questions you're kind of wasting your time.

Not exactly sure what you're looking for here but check some past papers?

Yes, this is basically true.

Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship "Upon boarding the ships, the soldiers encountered fierce resistance from the passengers who were armed with knives, bats and metal pipes. The soldiers used non-lethal measures to disperse the crowd. The activists...

A former WA premier told that same story in a lecture a couple of weeks ago, only it was 'Is this a question?' and it was a philosophy lecture at Oxford :|.

Woke up late, missed final foundations lecture, went back to sleep. Woke up again, too late to get train into uni for final geopolitics tute, decided to drive. Drove to Broadway, parked, went downstairs, looked at the time, decided 'fuck it'. Headed back upstairs and went shopping :).

:uhoh: Yeah, good idea, I'm sure it will be popular. Because the only thing better than doing ONE badly designed mathematics course is to do TWO badly designed mathematics courses. They're doing the same thing with English as well, eg you can do English + Literature. HSC extension courses...
