The student made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1989 (NSW). The Board initially decided to deny the request and the student subsequently applied to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal for a review of that decision. During the course of those proceedings, the Board was given...

Oh, give the guy a break - this is the SC forum! Keep your nerd-bashing to NS. :)

For the first time since the new HSC was introduced in 2001, an HSC student has been able to successfully obtain their own raw examination marks from the NSW Board of Studies. This unprecedented level of disclosure has accelerated the NSW education system along the path to the ideal of a system...

I simply don't have time, heh... and I'm already tutoring a computer science subject. http://www.boredofstudies.org/james/s1tt.html 1) Identify the subject of the question (e.g. what the rule of law is). 2) Take a critical position; don't sit on the fence unless you can do it really well. 3)...

I got an HD. They're generally not good because it's generally not possible to predict questions (and so you end up trying to shape your prepared answer to the question and it is never nearly as good as it could have been). I would have abandoned my prepared answers had I been given different...

You don't have to actually do that much. Plus, that document was the product of a joint effort. I think I would have only referred to, at most, half of it during the test itself. Hmm, I also prepared some essay responses (you can usually predict the questions), not quite sure where they are...

This is an example of what I (and my group) compiled on our case last year - http://www.boredofstudies.org/james/Damjanovic%20v%20Maley.pdf The most important thing is to sit down and completely work through it. Can be productive to do so with friends (up to a point). I have a copy of our...

With very few students, there is likely to be a high degree of variability within the candidature. It's possible for a high scaled standard deviation to undo the effect of a high scaled mean... particularly if you're below the average within that course.

We really don't know. More info is going to be released in the full 2003 scaling report later this year - perhaps that will help.

I wouldn't call those 'drastic' jumps. :) I'd expect the same sort of one or two point variability to continue.

:uhhuh:

Yes. Just make up some excuse for the law office ladies (e.g. other commitments scheduled for that time have recently come up), and hope you get the nice one when you go in to swap classes. I wouldn't leave it any later though.

I can only assume that you were looking at the wrong course - nothing has been changed recently. The scaling for Standard/Advanced English is generally pretty average anyway.

It's not going to help you pick out the ratio of a case though. :) Discussions on topical issues are great, but they definitely shouldn't constitute the entirety of the class.

hahaha well i couldn't let poor little victoria scull it!! :P i was still drunk when i woke up this morning. :( and now i'm sooo out of it. but it was yet another awesome experience. :D

The logic behind the answer must inevitably revolve around the fact that contract law provides a feasible remedy whereas tort law does not. Division 2A of Part V of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (specifically, s 74H) creates a statutory form of action against the manufacturer or importer of...

There is no truth to that rumour.

Oh yeah. ;):D

You won't get to pick your groups. The camp committee will have sorted you into what it deems to be appropriate mixes. ;) And each group of ten students will be assigned three leaders.
