option topic (1 Viewer)

[Come at me]

is it true some school don't do any option topic?

And do we have to follow our teacher or we can do any option topic?

lol schools do no option topics?

They're worth 25% in the HSC paper and should be worth the same in your trials.

Yes you usually have to follow your teacher as most schools only write/include the option questions for what they have taught (unless you have spoken with your head teacher and have discussed self-studying another option).

From my understanding, the teacher selects the option topic and then advises the board that 'X' High School is doing said topic. Therefore students gotta do what the teacher selects to teach.

I think anyways..

You can study your own option if you want to. I would strongly advise against it though!

I'm pretty sure this doesn't occur...

Then my teacher lied to me

Either way I don't really mind my option... Quanta to Quarks is awesome!

teachers do have to submit which option topic they are studying to the board of studies, but studentscan do whichever option topic they want. I'm not even sure of the purpose of submitting option topics to the board.

I think it's better to just do the option topic that you're taught at school but I think you can choose to do your own.

If that's the case, then it probably for statistics - each year, they find the number of students that do each topic. This would help them moderate the difficulty of a section to allow a better spreading of the cohort within each cohort, then they would scale each topic accordingly.

All schools do an option - Its 25% of your paper.

In the HSC you can do any option you want - It'd just be retarded to not do the one your teacher put 25% of your in-class time into...

Do the option topic you're taught at school. You will get notes, handouts and resources from your teacher. If you don't do that option topic, you will have to do more work, if you don't understand it, no one will help you. And your teachers might not it the option you're doing into your trials...
