    Bankstown B.A Texts and Traditions 2009 Spring Session, EXPENSIVE TEXTBOOKS

    That is crazy! I did those units last year at Penrith and they were at that cheap price. What could they possibly be adding to that unit that would make it that expensive? The readings were annoying enough for T&T last semester anyways. If theres a plus side I can sell you my Contemporary...

    what mark do you think you got?

    From the answers it looks like I got a low 90s mark, im not sure exactly because I can only remember half the answers I put down, but on all the questions that I thought were wrong, were confirmed to be wrong in some cases, so i'm sure all the rest are fine. Ill just say 92%.

    some of the wording in the exam...

    I know it is. But this is about the wording in the paper being deceptive, not about whether the paper was easy or not. Which it was.

    what did people make for their major works?

    I made a crappy bag to carry my computer in. Folio was around 70 pages, but I left out alot of testing. Thats what you get for leaving it late I guess :D

    some of the wording in the exam...

    HAHA! I did the same until I realised I was answering the wrong thing. I made sure to cross out completely (cross hatch crossout = unreadable) so that they would only see a big black scribble rather then the wrong working :D

    some of the wording in the exam...

    The only thing that makes general maths papers hard are the wording. If they spelled the questions out like "Ok we are asking you to use the cos rule to find the missing side, to find the height of the tree" then everyone would get 100% (or at least, all the people that would check the formulae...

    So who else thinks we got slid a 2 unit paper?

    Serious? maybe its just me, but all general papers seem really easy. The only questions I get wrong are usually the crapply worded ones, which in this exam was excluding time zones, which i forgot about. And financial expection, which i got in the end. Im guessing around 93 - 95%

    General maths..how did you go???good or bad??

    The answer is 060 degrees. south west is 225 around, minus 45 to the south quadrant leaves 120 take another 90 off leaves you with 30 left from 165 degrees. then 90-30 degrees = 60

    General maths..how did you go???good or bad??

    ignoring timezones mean you ignore the worlds SET timezones, for example eastern standard time and such. so if you knew what the timezone was in kenya, say for example eastern african time, then you'd ignore what that timezone means and answer the question JUST by doing 1 degree = 4 minutes...

    h/3 (8a+2b) is the expression, thats how it should look anyways, apart from the h bit which im not sure is either h or 2h. ii) had no idea how to do it, the answer i guessed was 8m decrease to b though overall the exam was to be expected. dead easy on every question except one where you...

    Rock Sucks - alternative??

    Because simplicity wins the masses. I don't think a bunch of teenage girls could digest all the changes in a classical concerto because it's too much for them to digest. However they can handle someone playing two chords over and over again going up a pentatonic scale with some sick...

    Performing in Performances..

    Not alot to it. I mean I cant talk because I havent done my HSC yet but some important factors have to be to relax, know your pieces amazingly and just play from the heart. Nerves = death. If your showing yourself and look like your having a good time that energy usually transfers to the...
