Re: them cityrail moments zereffff

don't lie to me bro, you sahh mad :P

Well that's because it's so easy to just prepare for many of the essay questions and memorise a generic essay that someone else prepared. The fact that people are able to achieve a Band 6 without actually even reading their texts goes to show the flaws in the system. Sent from my Nexus 4 using...

The way the Board of Studies has made the syllabus and chosen the content we learn make it uber easy get good marks through rote learning because understanding isnt always assessed in unconventional manners therefore allowing for preparation through memorisation because you know what to expect...

what about for school assessments, it is so easy to get away with it at many schools

I'm not against the idea of memorising your own planned out essay and what not, it's your own work, of course that's fine but it's copying other peoples work to just get yourself easy marks with the unethical and selfish attitude of "Fuck everyone else I do what I want for my own good".

If you're confident with all of those subjects then not at all! As long as you have confidence Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Then what about all the people that do burn out :P ? You reckon its just a them giving up? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

It's very common for a lot of students to start strong and become very passionate and serious about their studies when they get into their senior years. It's also just as common for the students that do this to burn out and run out of motivation, what is the best way of pacing yourself so you...

honestly if you are enjoying the subjects and doing well in them you shouldn't drop it, right now it acts as a saftey net and you still get the chance to learn about something you enjoy. IF the pressure and stress does begin to kick in from the work load see if it affects your mark. If yes then...

what's the point of getting into Uni if you're not even learning things properly in high school? The stuff that we learn at school wasn't just randomly chosen, there's a reason we study and learn it, so if we just copy other people's work we aren't benefiting in any way what so ever other than...

the system is flawed >< it is so easy to cheat as well as the fact that there is no consistency across the board.

yeah i get where you're coming from, for me rote doesn't even work in general, I don't remember things for long, unless I actually join the dots and memorise it. The only time I've had to rote learn things would be stats for Eco and Cases for Legal Studies. But they don't stick for long.

Are you against rote learning in general as well?

A change in the area of study as well as reworking the modules in English help in a way because much of the existing essays become somewhat useless, but it isn't really a proper fix, and can there actually be one, or it's just a part of the HSC and will always be, ergo justifying how flawed the...

I hear that if you smoke a joint before you write your creative everything flowwwsss. Nah but I kid. Drugs are bad mmmk.

I'm sure everything I could say has been said in others, it probably all just goes back to how repetitive the questions have become (not blaming anyone, people can't be expected to always come up with original questions) and also the fact that it's so easy to get your hands on resources and that...
