how come your signiture has 10 days until savannah's '05 HSC ends?

you know it could be either your teacher is really clueless, or is broad, journeys tends to be very broad because they have to cater for 66000 students

We had to talk about the images in the stimulus booklet? Opps :/

I dont think ive ever seen that said here, by my teachers or anywhere else untill now.

 

[drewgcn]

"The door" ...ey?

Since year 11's over, i'd might as well burn the change booklet....

Aye. Two puns in two sentences.
I should be shot.

 

[xx__savannah]

Cos I do accel Chem in 10 days.

I'd hate to think my teacher is clueless -- that'd tarnish my opinion of English senior markers. I think her problem is she sees things one way, accepts it as that. Like for Inner, and 'Journey to Interior', she asked me who Atwood was talking to, and I took it as man, for the feminist persepctive she had painted Atwood in, and she's like "Not really, it's herself."

Let's hope we don't and my teacher is just being stupid. I mean, they just don't relate.

 

[Casmira]

oo chem accelerated impressive, you'll be competing against me

 

[xx__savannah]

LOL, I'm almost bottom in the class -- I think you'll beat me
I'm in the Accel Class to make up the numbers, not on any basis of intelligence. Luckily, I'm repeating, and going against another accel class full of smartarses.

 

[Bookie]

I dont grasp any concepts. I steal english essays from websites. Then put em in my own words.

Not really.

 

[xx__savannah]

My problem is I think I grasp them, but don't. I swear, I got sympathy marks for my essay on critical study of Slessor's poetry -- according to the teacher that marked it, my history-thing was more of an opinion.

yeh but at least you'll have had the first round of HSC chem in your mind, do it in year 12 again i guarantee you'll probably annihilate it with a heads up of the entire year up your sleeve

 

[xx__savannah]

Yeah, there's no way I'm not repeating it, I suck that much, and I can't wanna pick up a new subject or use it to study -- I have 1u free, 2u on-line subject which I can do anything in). I'm glad I'm beating some Year 12s tho. The best thing about repeating is that I can improve on the assignments I did bad in, and practically recycle my essay on Haber.

Also, I won't be as stressed going into my HSC next year -- that's what I can't deal with too well. Its not so bad with English. Word-for-word essays just happen.

 

[Casmira]

oh trust me haber process is nothing compared to "assess the development of ship corrosion prevention" a nice big 8 marks of me bullshitting about 4000 years of ship material history

 

[xx__savannah]

Was that the CSSA trial?
I loved that question. I seemed to have blinked for an unusual amount of time after finishing it, and realised I hadn't done a whole double page of easy questions, but I got 22/25 for Elective, and I was happy.

 

[Casmira]

yep I did that as practice handed it in and only got 84% , option topic i got 19/25

do you know how I remembered what the ships where made of? games, I rememeber upgrading the ships from bamboo/animal skin too wood, then iron etc.., I wrote that and i got like 3 teacher asked me what I was talking about, I told her no idea

 

[xx__savannah]

LOL, that is classic =) I just bullshitted about it, I was so surprised when my teacher goes "if you do that well in every section, I'll never have to see you again." She will though.
I'm hoping that Haber comes up in the HSC, those dot points were an assignment, and they just make sense.

 

[Casmira]

doesnt matter how many past papers I do, i get close to 0 for electrochemistry in POM but full marks in SMM, go figure

 

[Trebla]

while you have 320 odd days left

Correction. 360 days left from today (From 24/10/05)

 

[Rafy]

What electrochemistry is in Production Of Materials?

What electrochemistry is in Production Of Materials?

There's displacement reactions, redox reactions, galvanic cells, electromotive force and electrode potential. Electrolysis was written out of the syllabus, I'm pretty sure.
