MX1 is significantly more difficult than 2U but scales very well and is very useful in my opinion because there is just so much applied maths in it (depends on what you want to do at uni too)

Lol lie to them and say you want to do engineering, which has physics as assumed knowledge (assuming you aren't aiming for engineering, if you are, thats great). and then pretend to change ur preferences l8r but continue physx heheh.A bit peeved off now, but the curriculum coordinator told me that I can't change because I've already gone through the process for selecting my subjects (which was in year 10, which basically was just subject selection talks and an interview), she also said that she already denied 15 people and if she let me go through then it wouldn't be fair. I've gone to the point that I'm going to see the principal tomorrow about this. I'm pretty sure that you're allowed to change as long as the subject has enough space and its on the same line.
Argh the frustration
They don't need to know that.Nope, not really aiming for engineering, going for something in the medical field I guess
And it is really unfair that some schools allow subject changes while some do not.

There are schools that don't allow subject changes? That's crazy! I am dreading biology at the moment. I want to change to something else but the only interesting course that runs at the same time that I'd be interested in is Ancient History which is full :/. Half thinking of doing physics....
Also I'm new here. Hi

ya it's alright
we get our assessment booklets on Monday but I already have my ancient one and it's killing my braincells. I swear to god if my partner doesn't do anything... but it's like a 10 minute speech or something like that. It's due in week 8 so yeah still a long way to go

what are you learning in modern
industrial revolution... LOL you?
Try to spend more time understanding the content and the issues in Modern - memorising facts can be quite redundant and a waste of time. Like, in an essay, they arent going to ask you to give a verbatim recount of events, they are probably going to ask you to analyse a certain event or issue.

What the heck is that about?
Inb4industrialrevolution but you know what i mean
And were doing the civil rights movement in USA
So interesting lol
I would have loved to have covered the US Civil War in more depth.
Yeah, I'm glad we had this topic chosen for us. It could have been better, but it could also have been much, much worse.
The assessment will consist of 40 minutes essay writing time for one of these questions (nominated at random on the day):
1. Evaluate the causes of the American Civil War.
2. 'The American Civil War occurred due to the concept of slavery.' Discuss.
3. 'The Emancipation Proclamation was only issued in an attempt to win the war'. Discuss this with close reference to the causes of the American Civil War.
Pretty obvious and interesting questions.
They seem pretty generic, although the last one and to a lesser extent the second one have the potential to be more tricky than they appear.
