Hey can i ask you wat topics you study and how the hsc exam is set coz i dont do legal but i would of luved too!!!
Too bad

 

[Christine]

well everyone has to study
- law and society
- crime
and then there are a stack of options and you have to do two. mine are
- family
- consumers

its a good subject. we get multiple choice in the exam but there are essays too but it can be really annoying constantly having to evaluate how effective the law is etc etc.

Hey Matt, I'm studying Family and Workplace too.

What do you think of them?

 

[Kristy]

christine - i'm doing exactly the same electives as you! how are you finding consumers? i think it is just sooo boring, but my teacher gives really good notes so it's not too bad. maybe we could swap sometime if you like?

 

[Alex]

Ah, good old family and workplace, me 3, I think they're quite good myself.

 

[~ForAGoodCause~]

yeh im doin family and consumers as well! ...

Anyways i hate how the structure of the exam is multiple choice , short answers and three extended responses... i much prefer the business stds paper which is multiple choice, short anwers and two extended responses..

 

[Kristy]

i know - 3 extended responses is too many!

 

[Matt]

Hey Angelic_Angel88.

I'm finding workplace law quite easy but I think Family law is too complex. Anyway, Im sure I can crap on for a few pages in an exam on both. How r u finding them?

 

[Christine]

hey i'm all up for swapping but i already gave my notes to the pple who run this thing. theyre the REALLY detailed ones on crime.

i know nothing on consumers. we had to learn the topic on our own for an asses........ my teachers shit!!

 

[Kristy]

yeah, i read your notes - they were great! also very similar to my own....did you do them from the syllabus?

i sent my syllabus notes for consumers to fatmuscle, so if he posts them i guess you could have a look - don't you just hate teachers that do that? i think it is so slack, mine did it for an assessment last year, then spent 2 lessons yelling when most of us failed!

I'm finding 'Family' to be alright at the moment. Although, I'm finding 'Workplace' to be a bit complicated.

I had the problem of joining another class for 'Workplace'. The class was meant to improve my essay writing skills, but it didn't. The teacher was a bit weird, she would say "That's the magic word!" when we referred to the correct terms. LOL. And somehow, I got the impression that she thought we weren't smart enough because of the way she talked to us.

Anyway... I've learnt that I CAN write essays. Although I'm lazy and I shouldn't be. And I should also manage my time better.

 

[Kristy]

i know what you mean about the essays - i hate doing them, but i find that when i actually sit down and make myself write them i don't do too badly

my time management, however, is another story altogether!

 

[Christine]

Oh, that does not sound good. Try doing the past paper essays. They really help
