how did i shoot myself in the foot..........
i never said bio was harder than them..........

i dont fukin get u............why are u complaining its too easy..dont u want a abnd6

I do want a band 6 I would rather it be more challanging tho.

I got 94 in my last exam and came about 40th in my year. Its piss easy.

u see u ignorant little shit.................there are like what, 60000 people attempting the hsc each year.....................................

why should it be amended to suit you.

Why is there 4 unit maths, 4 unit english, ext history?

To suit the more advanced students.

Senior science and Biology are too alike.

Ignore the fool.
He has no idea what he is on about.

 

[alex09hsc]

you just dont get it


There are numerous reason why it cant and wont happen


Maths and english are a lot more general than sciences (particularly maths)

This allows most school, even lower ranked school to offer ext. courses. plenty of the bottom 200 school cant even offer ext 2.


introduing additional sciences will further the distances between higher and lower schools..................im betting only the top 200 schools would be able to undertake such courses...


This topic isnt new, it has been discussed briefly before but has been dismissed for obvious reasons..................


Honestly because the idea of an ext science looks good to the nerds on this site........................................doesnt mean jack

Yeah I don't see how he can even comment on the topic seeing he didn't even do the course.

4 unit maths is about 10% of first year uni. There is no guarantee that doing 4 unit = pass in first year.

 

[alex09hsc]

hsc is meant to prepare u for tertiary education not fukin throw u into uni at year 11

 

[alex09hsc]

i did bio in prelim?

 

[shuttle_bus5]

i did bio in prelim?

You did prelim bio and found it hard?
HAHAHAH

 

[alex09hsc]

it's easy yeah but its not like everyone can find it that way.........


all ur moronic ideas r unreasonable................
dont u think there's enough courses to choose from...

if u want courses to be too advanced the fukin teacher wont even be able to teach!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bob fossil]

HAHAHAH

Oh god.

Even the fucked up kids gets 70s in the prelim.

Like I mean the really fucked up kids

 

[alex09hsc]

no wtf i wanted that line for a free and 4 unit was placed there

He has a point here, many science teachers wouldn't be able to cope teaching courses more challenging then currently offered.

How is refining the bio course and makin it harder to its in line with chem and physics unreasonable?

I know i probs wont ever happen but it seams fair if it did.

There are other considerations which need to be taken into account for these 'extension' subjects.

For example, most of physics cannot be done without a sound knowledge of calculus and associated mathematical methods, and BOS cannot just assume that you're doing 2u maths if you're doing physics 'extension'.

Implementing subjects like this would require a major shift in the syllabi of many different subjects. It's just too radical.

We couldn't do any maths in cosmology because they had to assume we only knew Stage 5.1 maths. It was disappointing for me, but that's how it works (we did have someone who only accelerated in 4 unit english).

You have been saying how hard bio is and then you said you only did it in pre-lim hahah?
Pre lim is like year 8 science

 

[alex09hsc]

lol well it would be a first cos i didnt think any ofmy other subjects got harder in yr 12
ur a fukin douche

I doubt harder Bio would be overly difficult to teach.

Yeah we all know it cant happen but ext physics with 4 unit maths in it would be awesome
