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?
I know who you're using too.

Lol deswa.

And probs got it wrong lol - I'm using another friend's, but probs gonna use C.R's - they seem good.

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.
Ummm. Well polymers and properties is intuitive, it all fits together quite nicely in relation to the structure and chemical bonding. Need for alternate sources u can just BS, but yeh most others are rote lol.

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?
Astro all fits together nicely in a clump. You just learn a couple of idioms and then it all falls into place. In my opinion it is one of the least rote learnt topics.

In your investigation "...........................", how did you assess reliability of sources? <- That kind of st0ff

Yeah idk why I put that there too - relating it to properties is pretty logical - makes sense why you use it in whatever use it has.

I found the physics course for the most part relatively straight forward apart from a few things. It's just I cbb learning all the nitty gritty stuff.

Oh ok. I thought it was K.S because the first topic matches up but the other two are just swapped around haha. And yeah, give C.R's a look. (lol at these abbreviations)

Tbh it doesn't come naturally, I'm going pretty hard lol - but it defs doesn't come naturally.

I'm up to S4 and I'm revising Sections 1-2 again, and just realised how shit they are.

S4 is really good - I love the galvanic cells stuff.

Everything before that it very shit imo - biomass, sugarcane, fermentation, car fuel, biopol, ethanol as a solvent etc. - legit almost every d.p in section 3 is rote learnt.

I reckon it's pretty boring - all the Ziegler Natta shit

If I am bothered to learn society impacts stuff/Einstein Vs Planck, Impact of supercond/transistors...
Einstein isn't that hard- just bullcrap about stuff like Manhatten Project, WW2 etc. Impact of transistors etc- look at computers and make stuff up

Yeah but Eco is so much better atm - it's rote learnt too, but I at least enjoy it.

Like the global economy is interesting, but polymers, fermentation etc. - not my thing lol.

And yeh abbreviations - full intense black market lol.

You shouldn't use abbrevs like that, they are so obvious lol
