English Extension is good and all, but depending on your teacher and topic it can be really boring and frustrating. We're doing crime fiction (which i hate and never read) with a teacher that really at the end of the day doesnt teach all that well. And on top of that in order to do well you need...

Um yeah i think it might be... which is pretty good cos its like what we did in year eleven with self discovery. Though i have to admit i dont really like change but you can find plenty of supp. texts for it... virtually everything is usable.:D

haha mm... if nothing important .... dont start a new thread... if it is... tell us!!! um duh

mm... um if it helps... antibiotics work specifically on bacterial cell membranes, they cant break down other substances... and that's not the only way they work on bacteria. They can interfere with the cellular processes. Viruses are eradicated by stopping DNA synthesis or protein...

It would be great to be able to do it without doing a history course though i think, i mean, who wouldnt want to do history extension? It is like the best subject anyone ever does! Though on the other hand it requires different writing skills to any other subject so it might ruin writing...

I know ppl think Ancient Egypt has been done to death, but i love it! and would love to do at least one topic on it... Akenaten is really interesting. Roman politics seems really boring though... you can tell we've started Rome as our historical time period thing.:rolleyes:

i saw it last night and it was pretty funny, but got really soft and romantic towards the end. id see it at the movies... better than a lot of other movies out atm. think about it... how could a movie about a man who gets God's powers not be funny?

mm well i have to admit chem is easy enough to catch up in, but even when you think you have the concepts down pat a question in a test just throws you off that little bit, showing you dont know it all that well at all :uhoh: thanks for the encouragement... i think i might work my ass off...

wow, we havent finished the search for better health yet but have done maintaining a balance and blueprint of life. search for better health is way long though compared to the other two modules it seems. Biology is one of, if not the best subject:) so easy to memorise.

Aww i still have history extension after english extension so ive got until the third last day of the hsc timetable before i can party! :disco: You guys are really scary... i know its close and that we all really want it just to be over, but i for one dont want it to be for a while yet, i...

Im not sure if we'll finish the option... we might but i think i would be a really close one... im not sure :S I heard that at my skool last year they skipped the core to do the option and then came back to the core after the trials, but heaps of the syllabus has been taken out so i hope we...

My teacher is a great teacher and everything and we're lucky i guess to have her, but i hate the amount of work we're expected to cover so quickly at home. It would be ok if we were even up to the pace of everyone else, but other skools have nearly finished or finished their option and we havent...

We didnt get to pick either and we're doing Industrial Chemistry... its ok because i like equilibrium. However we're like pretty far behind i think, we havent even finished the final core!!. I would have loved to do biochemistry of movement however, cos i love bio:D prolly cos im doing better...

ill help out where i can, if we all post our questions and we all make sure we answer them surely we can get through this?:) just be thankful that there isnt as many high order (assess, evaluate etc) verbs in the syllabus as chem....! :D

yeah bio is kewl:D i wanted to drop it at the end of year 11 but im glad i kept it cos im now coming first! actually we didnt get to go to the museum of disease when we went to UNSW... i think we were majorly ripped off!!! but we saw kewl stuff anyways like real brains and all that, so im...

Its all in the way the antibiotics work. Antibiotics break down the bacteria cell's membrane and interfere with their metabolism. They can do this because bacteria exist as whole cells. Viruses on the other hand are DNA/RNA wrapped in a protein coating which can only reproduce by attacking...

i totally agree... ancient is by far the best subject! modern was also spoilt by thousands of pages of what caused wars and how soldiers existed in trenches etc etc. I had a teacher that just made us summarise the whole textbook... a waste of time i say. Yeah its amazing to think we'll be...

yeah, most texts actually have a change in perspective, and arent too hard to spot when you look at them with that purpose in mind. Be careful though which texts you choose, try to keep in mind that they (as in markers) are looking for a high level of wide reading/ researching on the topic...

hmm i dont know, i think a fair few people are studying it, ive talked to heaps who are. You might be right though, i dont know. I attended the lecture too and seriously i thought it was almost a waste of time. The notes might be okay but as a speech it was very anecdotal and the changing...

um yawwn... you want advice for what? yeah maybe you dont like your teacher but maybe ask other students any questions you have on the subject... maybe even read the good peoples half yearlies!!! It might give you an idea of the style of essay you need to write and if you like the subject...
