    no study at all, all holidays !

    Answers.com definition of holiday: A day free from work that one may spend at leisure, especially a day on which custom or the law dictates a halting of general business activity to commemorate or celebrate a particular event. Don't beat yourself up, the HSC is marathon, not a sprint.

    short story, marks and suggested improvements please!

    The 'show not tell' concept is the key to creative writing really. For the ending, perhaps have the grandmother die by natural causes so it is poignant (have the main character want to tell the grandmother certain things but cannot now that she is dead. This is still cliche, but there's a little...

    What study did you do today?

    Read Act 1, Scenes 1 + 2 of Hamlet and realised that it is an awesome play. There's enough content and technique to write a 2000 word essay with already.

    Integration by Parts

    Indeed. Cheers for the clear working out. It makes perfect sense and I realise I have simply made silly errors (which are not so simple to erase).

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Re: Future Plans: What UAI/course/job are you aiming for? Ahh, the million dollar question, hopefully literally (nah, money is overrated to some extent, you need it to live but money really can't buy you happiness). UAI: see signature. Honestly though, it is NOT gunna happen. Course at Uni...

    Integration by Parts

    Having trouble with the following integrations. Explanations are neccesary please as I have worked solutions, but don't quite understand them (from TERRY LEE 7th Edition page 98, Ex 4.7). Q 3 (f) Integrate eaxcos(bx) with respect to x. Q 3 (h) Integrate exsin2x with respect to x. My...

    Can you finish an exam in the time allocated?

    Same here. But my teacher said my extension 2 half yearly was the basics - complex (without roots of unity and trig. applications), graphs and integration (without reduction formula, definite integrals or parts even though the latter two are fairly straight forward). So I agree for sure, it's...

    Highest UAI '09

    Have to agree with you there. Highest UAI 2009 on BOS will go to someone who barely ever posts and is ACTUALLY studying to ensure they get the highest UAI. There's also a real possibility that the usual suspects as you've all already pointed out wil take out top honours. Then again, it...

    How do other singers perform?

    Be truthful, honest and commit to what you're singing. Show your personality. Be brave, be free, try not to think about the notes you're singing but more of the message/theme/personal connection of/with the song. That way you're less likely to come across superficial. In terms of body...

    Rank 4 Unit Topics from easiest to hardest

    Too hard to rank the three topics I've done in order as they have different sub-topics which have varying levels of difficulty. Based on my 1/2 yearly results: EASIER Complex Graphs Integration HARDER

    History and memory techniques

    There is seriously no limit to techniques you can analyse. Anything. Depends on the text-type and what you're analysing though. If you're stuck, go back to basics.

    English - Use of Texts in Syllabus for Belonging Aspect.

    The monster does not belong to the rest of society as it/he is the only one of his kind. Frankenstein does not belong as he is abandoning the moral coding of the Romantic Era in relation to science and technology (creating a human organism); as a result, he becomes deserted from his...

    short story, marks and suggested improvements please!

    Should you have a title? Your choice. I recommend. Should you put 'The End' at the conclusion of your work? Your choice. I do put 'The End' at the conclusion of my stories. The idea is cliche (but then again what isn't cliche?). You can move it further and further away from cliche through...

    The "I didn't go well in my half yearlies" Thread

    Lynton, those marks/ranks are fine. Seriously, there's so much time to improve yet you don't actually have that much improvement to do! And just for the record, we had two english half yearlies, but I guess it was helpful that we got 3/4 of the questions in advance (week before so they're not...

    Integration: Area enclosed by the x-axis

    -4~-1(x2+5x+4)dx = [x3/3+5x2/2+4x]-1-4 = |(-1/3+5/2-4)-(-64/3+40-16)| = 4.5 units2

    Integration: Area enclosed by the x-axis

    All the area is negative, so it all needs to be absolute value. You can actually do it as a single integration from 3 to -3, or use symmetry as said above.

    My short story

    Abruptly disrupted by the change in the lighting of a plane, I soon grabbed a sense of reality. It was then that I realised the seat belt took firm grasp of my upper body, refusing to release me. My eye scanned the environment, and followed the movement of people past my seat along the corridor...
