Why the hate? I is cute

 

[theind1996]

Fuck this is ridiculous.

Chemistry Topic 1 is all bloody rote learning. I'm trying to see the concept behind it, there's barely anything. Fuck.

I told you HSC Sciences are rote learnt. In fact, for the majority of content based courses are too.

It's pissing me off, I honestly am trying to understand this so that I don't have to memorise 35 pages of notes just for 1 topic, but it's too hard.

not even the great Mr. M************************ can help?

Umm... are u serious? do u have to memorise that much for 1 topic of chem only?

Lol not really.

Is it same for Physics as well? :/

So thankful that I didn't pick any science subs

 

[barbernator]

I don't find physics too rote learnt compared to chem

stuff like generators, space and astro can be quite intuitive. I to I is quite rote though

 

[theind1996]

Yeah, I have someone's syllabus notes for Chem.

A4 typed up - 35 pgs topic 1, 40 t2, 36 t3, 42 t4.

Haha yep there's quite a bit of rote learning. It sucks (though tbh I think I beat a lot of people that I wouldn't if there was less memory involved lol)

If you want to rape it hard like ind does then yeah

For many concepts. The Option: From Quanta to Quarks is 100% rote learnt lol.

 

[SpiralFlex]

Barb what option you doing?

 

[theind1996]

Bro do you reckon there's any way you can understand PoM?

Basically everything on cracking, steps in the production of polyethylene, systematic naming, need for alternative sources of the compounds presently obtained from the
petrochemical industry, uses of polymers and properties.

It's all rote learnt.

 

[Hoangsta]

Lol not really.

haha
aye check yo pm pls

 

[deswa1]

Haha I went through my set of notes to find out who you were using. Good choice Though you got T2 and T3 round the wrong way. Who are you using for industrial though?

Our school does Astrophysics, is it as bad as Quanta and Quarks? (I like quantam physics as well if thats what that topic is about).

Also on average how much in terms of percentage is the Chem and physics test calculation/problem solving based?

Yeah PoM is actually such a pain to study lol.

From what I've learnt so far, I found prelim more conceptual and more interesting.
