    Semester 1 Timetables

    This is probably a really stupid question, but are you able to change your timetable next week? Or even mid semester? EDIT: Nevermind, I somehow missed your answer.

    Recording lectures

    I'm a really slow writer, and someone suggested that I record lectures so I don't have to worry about missing things when writing notes. I'd never considered this before, so I just wanted to ask: 1. Are you even allowed to record lectures? I feel like it would be a copyright problem, honestly...

    Help me figure out my ATAR?

    A teacher of mine told me that last year's marks hadn't been scaled because I'd not done English, estimating that Chemistry's 72 would go up to around 82. Is that right? I haven't come across anyone else who has done their HSC over two years before, and there isn't any info online that I know of.

    Help me figure out my ATAR?

    Transferring from Med Science?

    I know this is a really stupid question, but I couldn't find any straight answers on google. I can't decide which undergrad course I want to do - Diagnostic Radiography, Pharmacy or Dentistry - so I thought I would go to Med Science, and then once I'd gotten at least an idea of which one I...

    Medicl Certificate help

    Yesterday, I was meant to do a Prac exam, but I was sick with a migrane and couldn't go. I thought I would be fine for this morning, so I only asked for yesterday to be listed on the Medical certificate. However, today the same thing happened again - the migrane is not so bad as yesterday...

    Heat Capacity question.

    This might be a stupid question, but our teacher never really explained how he got this answer. When burning alcohols, we used aluminium cans to hold the water we were heating. He then told us that the Aluminium in the can was equivalent to a certain amount of water in terms of heat capacity...

    Is there some kind of chart somewhere that tells you the average number of words contained in a (insertnumberhere) word speech?

    Essay pen

    I don't like using felt tip pens - they tend to seep into the surrounding paper when you write, and while most people don't notice it, I write small enough for it to have an effect on how neat my hand writing is. Gel pens tend to smudge a little, too, so I use Parker ball points. They work first...

    Bookshops

    For anyone who lives in the Sutherland Shire area, in Sydney, The Book Station at Caringbah is certainly worth a look. It's second hand, so oftentimes it's difficult to find a particular book and, if you find it, it might not be the best quality. But they're super friendly, and they have a cafe...

    Please help!

    Hi! I'm studying through distance education, and I've decided (Despite the advice of peers and some teachers) to take a full load of subjects next year. I've chosen Bio, Ancient History, Chemistry and Advanced English so far, but I'm having trouble with the last two, particularly maths. I'm...

    Distance Education

    I'm doing Bio and Ancient History through Sydney Distance Education High. I love it, but before somebody jumps into it I do have a couple of warnings; It's a lot of work. Personally, I think it's a lot more than most students have to do - mainly because it's a LOT of reading and writing. (I...

    I still don't know how to write an English essay!

    I would give you my essay structure, but I just tried typing it out and it's hopelessly confusing. If I were you, I would simply google "Essay templates" or "Essay Structure". Often, diagrams show up telling you what to write where - they're easy to understand and they only take a short time to...

    Study help for Anc. History & Biology?

    I do distance education, and my teachers were supposed to send out study help for Ancient History and Biology, but they haven't come in. All my other subjects are fine, and I feel more than ready to complete those exams... it's just the two subjects I'm struggling with. I have a vague idea of...
