    Careers in Chem/ Bio

    Biochemical Engineering does exist apparently :) It's mostly bioreactors and food processes. Not exactly as spectacular as I imagined it when I saw the words "Biochemical Engineer". I was thinking it'd be more like Doctor Frankensteins Monster and mad genius creating genetic monstosities...

    Careers in Chem/ Bio

    I really like my subject choices at the moment and my two sciences chemistry and biology are really fascinating and I have been considering going into an ocupation that I like and which uses both subjects. I know the obvious answer: medicine... well it is for me anyway. But the only problem is I...

    Future Plans (UAI/Uni/Tafe/Job)

    Aiming for 90+ When I'm 30? I'll be in the UK with a Masters in Architecture and an architecture company. Nothing spectacular but it's what I'm looking forward to. Considering doing a combined architecture and civil engineering degree to keep things a little more interesting... but I'll see...

    Bow critique please

    Hahaha. Sorry if I offended... I didn't mean to. I just thought how nice it'd be to see an alice in wonderland character that wasn't a direct fudge of the Disney version, I hope you do well. :)

    Hahahaha... I did repeat what you said in that post. :) Sorry, I didn't read it all before I posted my message. I thought it was common knowledge that all of those topics were bad, and i guess in part I was right.

    Should i drop Chem?

    ......People can be so angry :). This post is getting catty. OK I WAS WRONG. Med school has prerequisites, I didn't know that. Point is, you have to decide whether or not you really want to put the extra effort in and do chemistry so that you can study medicine. If you think there are other...

    Bow critique please

    I like the look of scratchboard works and the retention of detail it allows. And I've always liked alice in wonderland, I like how you're trying to present a human side to the characters so they aren't as abstract and so that it involves the reader a little more. The only problem I would worry...

    Physics

    Funnily enough maths isn't that complicated in physics. Yes I know calculus can be difficult but i'm doing 3U maths and i love it, I couldn't however handle physics, I bombed out BIG TIME. I think the hardest part is trying to relate real world data to the sometimes abstract calculations and...

    Should i drop Chem?

    Universities have prerequisites: FALSE Universities dumped prerequisites in the 60's, they only have assumed knowledge and/or recommended studies. You can do a bridging course: TRUE!! If you hate a subject you will inherently do very very bad in it, personally i love chemistry but if you...

    Which is the better textbook for Maths2u?

    Cambidge. But if you want to do really well I'd suggest worrying more about what your techer tells you than what text book you have. You can get as many questions out of them as you want and they know ALL the theory :)

    Making Notes?

    I love my notes...they are the most important thing in school for me. I can't just revise out of a text book or off a bunch of loose sheets. I need to see it in my own handwriting with all the characteristic highlighted sections, dot points, N.B's, margin notes, small sheet clipings, diagrams...

    Subjects for Year 11

    A modern polymath in the making I see. Think of what you can do out of school and what you can't do out of school. History is a subject which can be studied effectively in free periods and spare time with text books and references (if you are passionate). As opposed to science subjects which...

    To contact my books or to not contact my books

    OH. No! Why would you do that? Do you honestly beat your books around that much?. Contact doesn't protect novels from the kind of damage they are at risk from: spine bending, creasing, silverfish, brittlebook etc... Library's do it because their books pass through the hands of many many people...

    Major Work Woes..

    That's an individual oddity. For me it fires more synapses than maths, just not the ones I'm used to. Controlling hand eye co-ordination and thought to page processes to create a unique and subtle concept in an artwork is a lot harder for me than any maths question. I want to "push my...
