Will I get caught?! (2 Viewers)

[Oget]

Hey all,

I changed my texts from Cloudstreet (modue B eng adv) to King Lear and that leaves me without a novel in my prescribed texts (I have Hamlet/Ros and Guil and Frontline as my other modules respectively).

I find out that its a requirement to have a novel a week before HSC exam. Uh oh.

Teacher says it is 'unlikely' I'll get caught.

Should I take the risk?

I kind of have no idea what you're asking.

Are you changing from a prescribed text you've studied in class to an alternate one that you haven't?

Yes he has.

 

[emurelief]

Does that mean you're going to be the only one at your centre doing King Lear? It would look quite sus. to have 150+ Cloudstreet essays, and then a King Lear one whacked in the middle. Or does your school have different classes doing different texts? If so, try and sit near the Cloudstreet people? But I think they assign your seats..

 

[pritnep]

They assign seats so no you can't sit where you want.

Why do you want to change anyway?

 

[Unwant3d]

Yeah assigned seats. aphebetical order with your name and photo [ithink] on the seat so its preety impossible to swap seats.

i dunno, but don;t they plug into a computer what questions you've answered to make sure you did all the requrements??

hmmm why would you change texts, to one which you didn't study in class? pretty bold move if you ask me.

 

[samuel slack]

Yeah sounds a little crazy to me. But good luck with that.

 

[pritnep]

Nah no photo, at least there wasn't last year at my exam center.

 

[helper]

The school will never know. The question is if the paper for some reason specifies to answer in terms of the novel you studied.

 

[tanjin]

They always have photos at our school during the exam.

 

[ahen]

but i don't get it, you're changing to king lear for module b? why on earth would you do that? king lear is incredibly difficult
and what's this about a novel?
*confusion*

 

[pritnep]

Well unless the supervisors did on their check-off who is there papers.

 

[helper]

what's this about a novel?

From the syllabus

Text Requirements

• the close study of at least FIVE TYPES OF PRESCRIBED TEXT, one drawn from EACH of the following categories:
– Shakespearean drama
– prose fiction
– drama or film
– poetry
– nonfiction or media or multimedia texts

 

[bambaffled]

they give you a booklet with all the questions for all the modules even if you didnt study them, theyre there. and doesnt it work by answering questions in seperate booklets, and then like one group marks your first booklet, then the second group marks 2nd booklet and whatever, and they plug in the marks you get?


i don't think it's such a huge risk to take. and i never knew it was a requirement to have atleast one novel?.:S.. mang is that stupid.

LOL. I hate King Lear but the OP said in a previous thread - that he has a 20/20 essay ready for it.

 

[ahen]

LOL. I hate King Lear but i asked the OP said in a previous thread - that he has a 20/20 essay ready for it.

wtf
what a bloody shakespeare freak

it has taken me like 6 months to put together a 19/20 essay on that bloody play, and that could easily become like a 15 or something if i get a stupid question
i am jealous

 

[collide]

I thought schools specify which prescribed texts we study in class to the board.. don't they do that with our optional focus studies in like Legal Studies etc..? :S

Well good luck with it lol.

 

[tanjin]

I despise Shakespeare. I've done it ever since year 7 - damn advanced english classes - i didn't choose to be in those classes!

 

[helper]

Schools put in information on what options and texts are being studied so the Board can estimate how many markers are needed for each question but they don't say you have to keep to it.
