    are these topics too sensitive

    I forgot about this thread.. thanks for your replies, but I can't really do these topics. The teacher said the PIP people/markers/whatever don't allow it because I'm 'underage' and 'shouldn't be exposed to these especially via school stuff' or whatever lol oh well...

    when should one live on campus

    yeah, but forgetting all that - when do you think it will have a negative effect if they live too far away (eg. less study time). for the unis I am considering it will be something like: (to uni) bus - 15 min train 50 min bus - 10 min (back home) bus - 10 min train 50 min bus - 15 min in this...

    rank or mark.. which is better and is this good?

    So I'm just a bit confused with how I should feel about my mark. They are still finalising the results for the bio prac test - they've marked them and everything, but checking through them again. Anyway the teacher told us who got the highest, he said I got the highest in our class but I'm...

    Could I be able to answer my hypothesis in this topic properly?

    My PIP topic needs a bit of rewording but, basically, its: "How significant are social and cultural factors in influencing students’ subject and career choice?" Basically it focuses on the common belief that career path differences in relation to gender are based on biological reasons and my...

    Can an essay be memorised in one night?

    Well I memorised one like 1 hour before the assessment. However don't memorise word for word - what I did was divide it into sections and put the main points in each section. So I did the sections: intro, body > divided body into different sections, then conclusion. In each section I memorised...

    Question about bridging courses

    well I realise they will be in the course lol, I know that, my problem is that I am wondering if it's worth doing the bridging course and taking the risk since I haven't done these subjects for the HSC. I'm not sure about this course specifically, I have been looking at other courses too, but...

    Ok well, so if I wanted to do bachelor of medical science at UNSW, but it requires/recommends: Assumed knowledge: Mathematics and Chemistry. Recommended studies: Biology, Earth and Environmental Science, HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and Physics. and I've only done HSC biology, should I just...

    Question about bridging courses

    There are some degrees I am considering however many assume or recommend certain HSC courses, especially harder ones that I did not do such as maths/extension, chemistry etc.. I am wondering, are bridging courses really helpful at all? I am wondering if it will be worth it, or if I will still...

    Repetitive stress injury - extra exam time?

    I'm in year 11 (well technically year 12 now). Since about year 8/9 I have had a repetitive strain injury, which basically means that using my hands (heck, even when I'm not using them) I will have pain in my joints, wrists, and even all the way up to my elbows. It started when I became addicted...

    Post your subject regrets

    Well, I had chosen Modern History but regret it and switched it to business studies. I didn't want either but I had no option because the other subjects on that line were even worse. So even if I chose a desirable subject, I'd be asked to change it. I wish I chose a computer technology...

    Ideal beauty

    Although these are your own ideals - there are some men who, for example, might prefer women with a flat chest/really small breasts. Or some who might like "chubby" legs rather than toned. Really differs from person to person I guess

    Ideal beauty

    There is no "ideal beauty"; I think this is created by society through media influences. I think as long as you're fit and healthy, and happy about yourself, good!

    songs as related texts?

    I'm actually using both those texts for my speech! So far from what I have done I focused on a cultural theme but also a bit about conformity. I'm thinking to use the novel "Skin" by Adrienne Maria Vrettos, where the character is rejected by everyone at his school, an outcast, and furthermore...

    songs as related texts?

    I'm thinking about using a novel instead which I have read several times. It does have a strong concept of belonging however my prescribed text is Peter Skyznecki's poems which have a large cultural basis sort of theme, and my related text doesn't. Do you think it's OK to use texts with...
