Humour in answers? (1 Viewer)

[necessarahli]

This is just a random thing i thought of today...how do you think markers respond to humour? Like I was thinking of a response to a Med Phys question which was to justify the claim: 'Have a CAT scan - live longer', and in my head I was thinking it's inaccurate because you'd probably have a heart attack and die after getting the medical bill lol

How do u reckon bostes would react if you said shit like that, like you had a legitimate, solid response but then you threw something funny in - do you think they'd lol and move on, or be like wtf this person isn't taking this exam seriously here have a 0'

Just take the exam seriously, can't afford to risk anything at this stage.

I write heaps of jokes in my answers

For the general maths HSC I wrote definitely vodafone rates when calculating the speed of this download thing

In my chem trials I didn't know this question so I just crossed out some words, reworded it, changed the marking scheme and answered it. Teacher was not impressed.

i know someone that wrote in chemistry trial last year in the question to talk about the changing theories of acids and bases:
The acids and bases song:

"Acids and bases have
two different faces,
Two different personalities,
And you gotta find out
what they're all about,
If you want to learn chemistry."

What? Don't we live in Australia where that's free?

I suppose it'd be more accurate that a CAT scan exposes the body to radiation thus increasing the chance of mutation within the body, thus increasing the chances of dying from leukemia.

But that's not really funny, I would stick with taking it seriously lol this is the HSC.

I remember receiving my chem trials and looking through one of my responses about diminishing natural resources

I mentioned guano and I subconsciously put "bat shit" in brackets (I honestly don't remember even thinking about it that way and if I did I wouldv'e written bat faeces) - The marker drew an arrow calling it inappropriate but I wasn't deducted any marks haha

humour in your HSC answers = humour when you get a *

If it is clearly accidental humour - and that happens quite a lot - I have some beauties I have read over the years - then we have a chuckle and move on.

Deliberate could lead to a decision of a 'non-serious attempt' and thus a zero. Who decides on whether the humour is 'non-serious' would be the BOSTES not the actual marker or within the marking centre as such. It would be sent higher than simply the SOM.

 

[BOSBOY]

Agreed.
"Supervisors of marking will bring to the attention of the BOSTES examination answers that contain frivolous or objectionable material."

Are you a hsc marker? give me a couple extra marks thanks

I have been an HSC marker since 1992 but this year I didn't apply and I am looking forward to having November to myself for the first time since the early 90s - being able to actually do things at home at night will be almost like the holidays are starting early for me this year.

Holy crap, I had no idea. Hahah looks like it's back to the generic 'ionising radiation is badé :'('
