Starting 3rd topic: Graphs.

Have you been telling your teacher to get a move on, outlining the very real need for efficiency in teaching the 4unit course?

yeah, but he just says that we are 'keeping with the program' but he has never taught 4unit b4 so he dont realise that final topics (mechanics etc) will take a while, oh well, done it all b4 so we'll just c how it goes

What else did you cover? Polynomials? Complex Numbers, Polynomials, and now Graphs here.

dawso: Your teacher will hopefully pick his/her act up soon. Either way, you should probably skip ahead yourself.

Complex numbers done + polynomials semi-done, but it doesn't seem like we're going to finish it yet coz we're going onto Integration now.

My teacher says that we are not going as fast as he would like because he wants us to be finished before the trials.

We just started polinomials and the teacher says we will b finished by a week or so...
And then off to the third topic.

Complex numbers is a major topic (everything in it is basicly new stuff) that is probably why you have stuck with it for so long.


We've finished 4 chapters of the 3unit course.

yeah i aint worried, i have done it all once before and i really dont mind if we dont finish the course, but i just hate it in class cause we sit there for 2 hours straight, and at the end of it, we havent moved on at all, on thursday we got through 3 questions on harder 3unit, useless shit!
