    Do you think it's better to write the risk assessment before or after the method?

    From my experience the risk assesment comes before the method. This is so the precautions you have recomended for the experiments risks can be seen in your method. If you wrote your method before your risk assesment, you would theoretically have to rewrite the method to show the safety you...

    Yr11 Study Plan

    Oh, and although unrelated, i thought id share some more advice i wish i'd been told about before year 11 started. Look over the syllabus for all subjects your interested in, not jsut the ones you have currently selected. you might find you would be more interested in other subjects then the...

    Yr11 Study Plan

    Although thats a good idea in therory (and something i wish id done a bit more of in hindsight) just make sure its nothing to extreme. If your talking 30 minutes of study a night on most days of the week thats perfectly fine. Anymore then that your wasting your time and youll most probably be...

    Yr11 Study Plan

    To be honest, i did no study at all in year 11. I think i may have started studing for yearlies a week before they started and it was nothing major. Although i would try a tad harder if i went back and did it again, its important to remember that ultimately year 11 means nothing and you...

    Changing Subjects in Yr 12

    Don't listen to the people saying you need to complete 120 hours of the prelim course. All you really need is your principal to back you up on saying youve completed the prelim course. Whatever that means is up the the principal. Saying this, i'm pretty sure your school won't let you do it as...

    Scaling (need help on selecting subjects)

    You can if your principal of your school signs a form for the bos saying according to him, you have completed the preliminary course. Some schools make you do the eyarly test, others all assessment tasks. Mine just said go for it and let me move cause of my good marks in science :D Didn't have...

    Scaling (need help on selecting subjects)

    FFS, of course youll find something boring if all you do is read it from a textbook. You don't know what your talking about, you have NO experience, all your doing is misinforming people, STFU or GTFO. OP- Do not make the same mistake as i did. I originally shose my subjects based on scaling...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    In the same part of the bible that you think says homosexuality is an abomination, It also states children who backchat their parents should be killed. I doubt you can honestly say you've never done anything offensive to your parents, so according to the text you religiously (pun intended)...

    Confused

    Think of it this way (also i know this is fucked but it works :P ) Doing a course without doing a recomended subject is like running a marathon without the best shoes. You can still win but it might be a tad more difficult. Doing a course without doing an assumed subject is like starting a...

    Do HSC sciences need more maths?

    Yea, but this way most classes will just do a normal option whilst specialist schools and math loving kids (who might have to self teach if they only have one class at their school who are doing another option) can do an option that focuses less on implications and more on math. Personally, i...

    Do HSC sciences need more maths?

    They should make an option topic for each science have a decent amount of difficult math. That way the course is still open to people who do basic math courses and the people who want to be challenged mathematically can be. Also, can all the 11's stop posting in threads like these. You can't...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Dude, you fail. By your reasoning, couples who use condoms, the pill, have operations 'down there' and utilize other 'methods that allow them to engage in sex without the chance to create life are immoral. I've read a page or two of your posts and have come to the conclusion your either a...

    Extension

    I was under the impression this wasn't a subject, but a course designed to give students qualifications for work in industry. I was alluding to a subject, there different.

    Extension

    haha, if every single subject starts wanting there own extension, why dont we just switch from hsc to IB. That way, people can do their subjects at an advanced level, albeit there will be less subjects to choose from

    Extension

    Sorry, i didn't phrase what i was saying properly. Some science teaches may be challenged by teaching extension science subjects. I agree that a harder bio syllabus would be within nearly all teachers capabilities.

    Extension

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

    Extension

    I cant say anything about year 11 bio as i didnt do it (did physics in year 11), but out of what weve done so far in eyar 12 ive found that some concepts are relativly easy, while others can be kinda tricky. Although this may be due to the fact i didnt do prelim so i dunno haha. And yea, there...

    well im obviously still a high school kid, but my older friends who did 4 unit said they found it helped them a lot in first year engineering maths.

    Extension

    Why should there be? If you math kids practically get to learn the majority of first year uni in 4 unit why should it be different for other subjects? And about your 5 unit idea, they probably dont have it as it would most certainly induce suicide.
