    did everyone just bs in that!!??

    How general was the genetics question about incresing our understanding of genes yadda-yadda-yadda? I pretty much just summarised the whole topic. Overall i didnt find the exam particularly difficult. But one thing that bugs me is that you spend so much time and effort learning the entire...

    Can they specify?

    Well, they never have before, so I doubt they would. I've asked my teacher the same thing and she doesn't think they would specify an episode either. I think because you have related material and generally it ties in with a certain episode, if they specified an episode for you to do, alot of...

    frontline essay..how many episodes?

    My teacher has drilled it into our heads that the whole point is to demonstrate the depth of your understanding of the text. I'm guessing that in doing three episodes you've restricted how much you can say on each and only taken a shallow look at them. I'd say you'd be better off to do two...

    Novae

    Are novae considered intrinsic, extrinsic, periodic or non-periodic? According to my textbook - Longman physics - they're periodic and extrinsic, but the csu website says they're non-periodic, which has got me all confused now. Which is right?

    Discuss the BCS Theory

    I'm working on answering the syllabus questions. I've sort of got an answer for this dot point but it doesnt seem like it really "discusses" it and I cant find any further information on it.

    Who hates physics?

    Physics as a subject I dont mind too much. If i didn't need it for uni i probably wouldnt be doing it. Not a big fan of my teacher either. He'll explain things in class which usually goes over our heads and when we say we dont get it he looks at us like we're stupid. He probably thinks we're all...
