    How was your school day?

    Ty. Will do. Eventually. Congrats on finishing exams everyone who has done so. I'll be thinking of you as I tie my tongue in knots trying to speak about Hamlet. How's this: "Stoppard uses the players to play with the play-within-a-play concept from the original play, with players playing parts...

    EE2 2007 bitch and procrastination thread

    I haven't done any work on the actual short story, though I've done research on stuff (and submitted a pretty killer proposal :P). For some reason it doesn't bother me that I've done nothing... but that's the part that bothers me... What have I forgotten that would mean I'd be panicking?

    Measuring resistance - variables?

    Thanks helper. We weren't asked about variables for the experiment, so I'll remember for future reference. :) All we needed was the resistance while the motor was running (not during startup)... but it was amusing watching the current shoot up and drop down again. Wouldn't like to be trying to...

    2007ers - What do you want to do after the HSC?

    My english teacher thinks they're stuck with journeys for '09 too. And on-topic, uni. Seems like such a waste of freedom though.

    Measuring resistance - variables?

    What would the dependent and independent variables be for an experiment measuring the resistance of a motor, or indeed any resistor (where you make a circuit with voltage and ammeter, draw a graph of V vs. I and use the gradient if Ohmic resistor? I can't really apply the what you change and...

    national anthem - how many verses?

    While not beneficial to academics, the national anthem is part of our Australian heritage and... *recites the year 9 geography chapter on how important things like that are for our national identity etc.* Basically, the attitude they're trying to get across is: be proud to be Australian (or...

    How was your school day?

    Nah, teacher's ok. About halfway through we got to stop so they could finish their silly assembly. Exam-room conditions became non-existant til they were done. :)

    How was your school day?

    Music 1 aural exam today... lol I'm such a bludger. While we were doing it, the rest of the school had an assembly. We could all hear the announcements through the excerpt - 'rhythmic variation in the lead guitar part gives ...a permission form for the science competition to all X...

    Well I plan to try for USYD - Aeronautical Engineering. At 99.65 it's a bit of a dream, so Engineering (aerospace) at UNSW. ... Presuming I still think I want to do engineering then...

    Over-length work?

    Yeah, teachers love taking marks off work which is far over the word limit. One time I did an essay, and gave it to the teacher to check over. She said it was fine, but took a mark off for its length afterwards... Nasty :P Anyway, just ask your teacher if they'll deduct marks. Chances are, you...

    1999 film adaption of mansfield park - film techniques

    Re: gonna fail!!! Fourthly (though this is English, we're not meant to be counting... and ignoring the double part 2) - Just google "film techniques". My bet is that you'll be able to identify a place where they occured in the film. Even rethink the first minute of the film if you're...

    Doesn't the infinite discontinuity make it a bit yuck to shade? You basically need a dotted line along the asymptotes as well... Right?

    Auxillary angle method (help please)

    Just when I tried to draw the graph of y= 3cos(x) - 4sin(x) using the result from part a, it would be displaced incorrectly along the x-axis. The best I got was to draw y= -5cos(x+ 36'52') after rearranging everything and getting confused... :confused:
