Mate, my school has a shortage of teachers in each faculty. There aren't enough Maths Teachers nor Social Science Teachers nor Technology Teachers.

We are down a principal, assistant principal/teacher.
That is like 2/5 of the hs teaching staff we are down haha

So your school has no principal?

So your school has no principal?

We have a primary principal, and the director is acting principal/acting office lady

The actual principal ha to step down a few weeks due to health reasons

I am SO going to beat my frenemy with this assignment.

She might have a two week head start, but I invested $130 in books on my topic today, and now I'm broke af and have a point to prove.

Feeling pumped

Side note: Am I a weirdo for always starting with my bibliography? lel

 

[Orwell]

No, I might start doing that now.

I'm rooting for you.

 

[StudiousStudent]

I find it easier to 'take stock' of the info I've gathered, alphabetise my bibliography, and then select the info I feel is most relevant. It also helps me with the word limit because I am able to allocate x amount of words to each item in my bibliography.

If I just start writing from the first source, I always go over the word count.

 

[Jakulore]

Your preparation skills are on point. I am also rooting for you here... Good luck!

Hey guys, just wondering, does anyone here who does English Extension 1 do Neuromancer as a text? I've already done The Left Hand of Darkness and Bladerunner so I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about Neuromancer?

 

[WrittenLoveLetters]

Yeah I'll probably be attending.

Oh really! Awesome I was afraid that people didn't attend these and would feel awkward if I was the only one who showed up. Kind of why I'm choosing to go to the UTS ones since there are probably more people .___.

There's always people that go. Maybe not much but the candidature is never 0 or they wouldn't even run these things lol

 

[turntaker]

Nah in HS I used to always do my bibliography first but now in uni with referencing being so strict I just find it easier to do it last. Like some units deduct marks if you have a source in your reference list but don't make an in-text reference to it.

And I swear a unit told me to that it is a good idea to cite anything you've read whilst preparing for the assignment -_-
