hey man thats fucked.
You could probably see ur year co ordinator about the misadventure shit....they bump up ur marks if ur sick and stuff like that.

Also its fucked how ur teacher is dogging you. At our school we went thru year 7,8,9,10 with teachers telling us they weren't marking our stuff because of year 12 having priority. Now we're in year 12 and they don't mark our stuff because of year 7 and 8 stuff. That shit is whack.

Anywho, our maths teacher is like dead....so yeah he's not coming back, we've had 4 substitute teachers. One sub teacher yesterday read the chapter and then tought it back to us....fucking spastic.

Oh well we have an awesome ipt/software teach....

My teacher gets us to do this "guided summary" thing throughout the term. Basically, she types up about 5 sentences from each page of the Heinemann text book, and we have to fill in the rest word for word. So far we've done the entire chapter for Multimedia and the one for databases...that's what we're doing for our half yearlies.

As for additional study, I usually restrict it to learning terms. I do IT as well and they share a lot of the topics so it's hard to forget everything.

my teacher does "10 quick questions" as soon as we walk in the door to the classroom.. bloody 10 quick questions.. so annoying.. but they are his secret to getting us to learn stuff.. and i guess it works?? we'll see in half yearlies

EDIT: btw murf thanks for posting up those notes... dont worry i didnt copy them! just looked over them to see how much further my class has to go before the end of the topic :)

omg operations... needles... ARRRRGGHHH sorry i have a phobia of needles :)
definetly fill out a misadventure form, you can't not fill one out considering you are having an operation a week or whatever before your half yearlies.. it'll do you the world of good :)
good luck with the *ugh* operation :) if you have a doctor half as nice as the one a whn had a op a month ago you'll be just fine :)
