yes i would its simple and an easy way for me to get marks. its where my strength lies really.
lol uh.. in terms of the amount of work per unit the subject is worth, definitely no.i am the son of an English/Modern History teacher. my father hasn't taught the HSC english for a number of years because he simply refuses to do so as he, and i, feel the course is just... a wank. the English Advanced course is amazingly difficult, i would argue harder than Ext1 Eng. and for 2 units of english to be compulsory, even (standard english is so silly), is just a stupid requirement for those of us looking to do maths based courses at university. the English syllabus needs to lose it's ego and go back to fundamentals of english, grammar, study and appreciation of great works of literature, writing skillz etc.
+1... ext. eng 1 sucks. Too heavy a workload for just 1 unit.Extension 1 English sucks. Especially for 1 unit.
and today i like it loli get quite good marks in it
but the second half of year 12 has made me hate english.
i think its the texts we did :|
so at the moment, id probably say i wouldnt do it.
but then english is my subject that one day i like it, the next day i dont.
so who knows what ill think tomorrow.
this. i have bludged all year in english. didnt study (apart from the trials) and still ended up with high 80's or 90's in all assessment tasks. as well as really high rankings.yes i would its simple and an easy way for me to get marks. its where my strength lies really.

so. fking. true. :mad1:+1... ext. eng 1 sucks. Too heavy a workload for just 1 unit.
This is true. They should force 4-unit english students to accelerate advanced and turn ex1 and ex2 english into 2 units each, ala mathematics. Suddenly these subjects would start to scale significantly higher, I bet..Extension 1 English sucks. Especially for 1 unit.
i agree with this.Hmm, I dunno. I'm just talking about my experiences, but, it's somewhat hard to accelerate English. I don't believe that a Yr 10/11 kid has matured (mentally) enough to take on an English course. It's more than just memorisation.
+1i agree with this.
I disagree, I would assume prelim ex1 students are writing at a level that goes far above and beyond most of standard and even some of the advanced canditure in year 12. I don't see what is stopping what would have to be a high level english student from understanding modules like 'belonging' and 'conflicting perspectives'Hmm, I dunno. I'm just talking about my experiences, but, it's somewhat hard to accelerate English. I don't believe that a Yr 10/11 kid has matured (mentally) enough to take on an English course.

Agreed! I hate maths. But I'm glad other people love it.Yes.
Thank god maths isn't a compulsary subject though.
