uhhh yeah don’t, i’m only in year 8 rn but i showed someone my science assignment( it was to do an SRP and pamphlet on a chosen topic) and they legit copied the whole pamphlet and only changed up a few words and still denied it when it was so clear. even worse he scored higher than me on the pamphlet and the idiot teacher couldn’t even tell :/, was not a very nice experience and i learnt my lesson that i will never show anyone anything XD
yeahhh true, but i’ve finished trials now (well almost), so it’s not longer about ranking high as an individual, but as a cohort
That's a valid point, and going back to what I said earlier, I just think you shouldn't put yourself in unnecessary risk. While they may not pick up one individual copying an essay from 2 years ago or whatever, but potentially if a big portion of your cohort were to have very similar essays, there's a slim chance they may pick it up (as I think they use computers as part of the marking process). I just wouldn't want you to sacrifice your English results, and potentially your entire ATAR, because of it.
I'm with dasdas here. There's quite a bit of leniency in terms of students using the same quote and analysis, but less so if students literally wrote what the previous student wrote word for word. So, if you've got notes, feel free to share them. If you don't, feel free to make some one pager notes that you could pass around.
Wait, does external (HSC) exams get affected by cohort or internals get affected by cohort? I thought internals and you already did your trials so internals are done.
Your Assessment Mark, which constitutes all internal assessment tasks/exams (50% of a student's final mark) is moderated using a student's rank relative to their cohort and determined using the HSC exam marks (Examination marks, the other 50% of a student's final mark). The highest assessment mark is adjusted to equal the highest exam mark of any student in the school group. Similarly, the lowest assessment mark is also adjusted to equal the lowest exam mark.
Yes, sadly, my eldest had a similar experience in around Yr 8. Whilst she continued to freely help all her classmates (I’m not sure how she ever had time to study in the weeks before the HSC with the number of messages from her friends requesting help), she never shared her actual essays/assignment answers again at school. She let her guard down in first year of Uni and shared an assignment with a new friend (my daughter didn’t know anyone as she is the only student from her school doing med so I guess she was keen to make new friends) and was horrified when she saw that this person turned in a synonymized version of her assignment. She sweated for weeks about the possibility of being accused of academic misconduct especially as she was the one from the low ranked school and her new ‘friend‘ came from one of the top selective schools. She’s super kind but never again...
yeah it’s lowkey sad how desperate ppl are to just copy the assignment, then when u accuse them of copying they keep denying it.
