    Shelter textbook

    The other textbook (Cambridge) has it, but it's out of date when it comes to things likes Boarders and Lodgers. The Shelter App is an app that covers Shelter, current as of July this year. Not on Android though.

    List of possible types of essay questions

    This is for anyone who hasn't already seen this. The essay questions might end up being really straightforward (which isn't always good because then you need a really high raw mark to get a Band 6), but you should know some of the more obscure types of questions so you're not freaked out by the...

    Tons of stuff for CRAMMING for Business

    It's frustrating to have resources that you know are helpful to students but not have some big marketing budget to let people know about them. Once people use them, they're always so happy with how good they are, otherwise I wouldn't do it because I'm not a prick. And the fact that I used this...

    Table of required case studies for Operations

    It helps to have all the case studies organised under the subsections because the Section IV "essay" question can only be about "one section" of the syllabus (e.g. 'Operations: Role' OR 'Operations: Influences' OR 'Operations: Processes', etc etc). This is something I made just for the...

    Video - Explaining the Fair Work system in 14 minutes

    Make sure you watch it on the HQ setting (the writing gets small). The video goes through the dot-points about the employment contract (including common law rights and obligations of employees and employers). The Fair Work system is a bit complicated, so this should help. VIDEO LINK...

    Laws, Cases, Media Reports, etc - RANKED BY "IMPRESSIVENESS"

    Yeah, you're right. As long as it seems legitimate, and there's actually a point being made using the imaginary article, it'll get through. Not because markers are dumb, there are just time constraints. A marker won't spend more than 5 minutes on an essay, so there's no time for googling or...

    Laws, Cases, Media Reports, etc - RANKED BY "IMPRESSIVENESS"

    It was more for political reasons, and it really does depend on the topic. Teachers are generally (GENERALLY) left-leaning. They wouldn't usually go for The Australian's views on, say, asylum seekers. The Australian also had this crusade for a few months against having a Charter of Rights (which...

    Laws, Cases, Media Reports, etc - RANKED BY "IMPRESSIVENESS"

    This diagram was made after doing HSC Marking a couple of times and seeing how the Markers reacted to different types of "evidence" in Crime, Family and World Order essays. Some evidence seemed to impress the markers more, so I had a go at ranking the relative levels of impressiveness (?) for...

    Case Studies - Business financial reporting season

    August every year is "reporting season" where businesses release their financial reports. This means there are tons of news stories about the businesses you've been using as case studies (Billabong, Qantas, etc). Here's a calendar for when the reports will be released (so you'll have the latest...
