    No conclusion in essays...

    Hi guys, I just sat my paper 2 trials. I wrote all my introductions and body paragraphs how I wanted (except module C, which was a bit rushed), but I left my conclusions, telling myself to write them at the end if I had spare time. Unfortunately, I had no time left and didn't write any...

    How would you talk about public goods in the following question?

    Discuss the economic concerns that the government takes into account when formulating policies to manage the environment. It's a past HSC question. I checked the markers' comments and it said that better students addressed issues like market failure, which is a no-brainier, but public goods...

    2015-16 Budget

    Hi guys, How will this year's budget influence environmental outcomes eg. Pollution, supply of renewable and non-renewable resources, climate change, etc? Will the budget also influence Australia's external stability in terms of our CAD? Is it directly aimed at improving external...

    Linking back to thesis/question

    Hey guys, So one issue I'm facing now is forming a concise essay with quotes and examples that directly target the question. I'm able to write dense paragraphs with lots of techniques and analysis (to the point where parts of my paragraph are too wordy and disjointed) but my teacher always...

    Overproduced and underproduced

    Hey guys, I need an explanation as to why merit goods with positive externalities are underproduced and demerit goods tend to be overproduced. Does it have anything to do with the private sector?

    Relationship between ToT and CAD

    Hi guys, What impact does changes in the terms of trade have on the CAD. If Australia undergoes structural change assisted by productivity improvements and producers are able to lower export prices, our international competitiveness improves but export prices fall. Say our exports are highly...

    Using stats, data, trends, etc.

    Hey guys, So one thing that's freaking me out right now is using data to support your argument. My half yearly requires us to write two essays, one one Australia's place in the global economy and the other on our economy of our choice. There are all these trends and stats that we need to...

    Conics - what's a, what's b?

    Hey guys, So I'm still unsure as to how you determine a and b in various conics equations/scenarios ie. b^2=a^2(1-e^2) for the ellipse and b^2=a^2(e^2-1) for the hyperbola. I understand that you let the "bigger value" represent a for the ellipse so that you get a fraction less than one when...

    4th roots etc.

    Hi guys, I'm doing some exercises that require the use of demoivre's theorem. It's pretty straightforward for the most part, but I've come across a question that says to "find the 4th roots of root2+root2i". I converted this into mod-arg form and let 2cis(pi/4)^16=rcis(theta), but I'm stuck...

    University offers not in paper?

    Hi guys, UAC says that main round offers will be available tonight for 2015 uni students but these offers won't be published in the paper. Is this because of privacy issues or are newspaper companies trying to save paper (and money)? Will they publish it on the net like they did last year...

    Conflict between economic objectives

    Dixon's textbook says that microeconomic policies can worsen economic growth, employment and external stability in the short-term. How is this so and why does the economy recover in the long-term? While these objectives aren't pertinent to the syllabus area in topic 4, would you agree that...

    Lymphocytes

    Hi all! There are a few things I'm trying to wrap my head around in terms of the second and third line of defenses. First off, how is the lymph system related to the second line of defense? I've read different books and notes. They all agree that lymph nodes store and secrete lymphocytes...

    Best way to structure responses?

    Hi guys. So I've been taking notes for my HSC subjects these holidays and aim to learn most of the content for economics and biology. During my preliminary HSC year, I struggled to structure and format my response so I clearly answered the question and addressed the directive verb (eg...
