    Reliability, validity and accuracy: What's the difference.

    This is a useful analogy. If you throw darts and they land in roughly the same area, your throw is said to be reliable. If you throw the darts and they land in bull's eye, your throw is accurate. However, reliable throws are not always accurate.

    Creative Writing

    The most important part of your short story is your plot, where it follows and what you do with it. If you are stuck and need some inspiration, I suggest drawing a leaf (or, drawing some leaves) from history and immersing yourself within it. For example, my creative for my HSC (although for...

    Schindler's List

    I have not read Snow Falling on Cedars (although I hear it is very good), but Schindler's List by Steven Spielberg is a masterpiece that can be used effectively for most modules.

    Can a conclusion be less than 100 words?

    After all these years I truly believe that an essay approximately 1000-1100 words is best. Really focus on the question and talk only of the most relevant points. A conclusion should be roughly 4-5 sentences recapping, emphatically, what you have just spoken about in your introduction and...

    How to study for Biology?

    Honestly, if you're doing this much work then you should be given a pat on the back. Most people don't go through that much effort! In addition, one really helpful tip is doing papers and getting your teacher to mark them for you. Do as many as you can and if you have a good teacher, they'll be...

    Reliability, validity and accuracy: What's the difference.

    sophisticated-, have you cleared up these concepts or do you need further examples? Survivor39, I noticed that you're currently doing a PhD in science (I'm presuming) at Cambridge. How awesome is that?

    3rd Year UNSW Medical and Arts Student - English/History tutoring

    Hi slyhunter, I do have a lot of experience tutoring advanced English, about 3 years' worth. However I must ask - what are your texts? There are some which I am familiar with and others which escape me.

    just wondering...

    Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: 回覆: Re: just wondering... A foolproof method of approaching section one is to firstly pick out the key issues of the source given. Think about what the author is saying about how history is written and thought about. Do you agree or disagree (and because you...

    Raw Marks

    It doesn't really matter what you get internally, per se, but rather your rank. If you are ranked first, then it is you who determines your destiny. What I mean is that your exam mark in the HSC will be equal to your assessment mark. If you are ranked lower then you are somewhat at the mercy...

    English Extension 2!

    I really enjoyed the subject. It really allows you to explore your interests within literature. If you have a passion for writing, poems, speeches or anything of that sort, this will be right up your alley. You can get the thing done relatively quickly if you utilise your time well during your...

    Was Sydney Boys forced to redo the 2009 HSC math exam?

    As for how it spread, we have no indication whatsoever? Not even the person? This is strange because I'm sure if it was an 09'er they would have come out with a blaze of glory and said that they'd stolen the paper. Perhaps it was as easy as going onto a staff computer ("Oh miss, could I just...

    Was Sydney Boys forced to redo the 2009 HSC math exam?

    LOL. I wonder what the teachers would have felt when they realised their students had just sat a botched exam.

    My friend...

    If he's coming first (and it sounds like he is), then he and only he is in charge of his mark. This is provided someone in his class doesn't beat him in the HSC external.
