    Last minute clarifications needed :(

    Just a quick question for Communication... The structure of the larynx? Is it good enough to know that it contains the vocal cords which are muscles that can vary their length, size and tension to adjust pitch as air is pushed from the lungs via diaphragm action? And this sound can then be...

    Physics HSC test

    That will throw at least 90% of people if they do... The consolation is that if there are shit questions, they'll be shit for the majority of people so there is no real disadvantage. If not, then it's a reflection on what you should have studied :/ I'm hoping for a lot of space and motors and...

    Section II

    It was pretty good... glad that it would throw a lot who rely on pre-prepared creatives. I focused on the relationship between a wife whose husband beats her and the man that kills him for drug money, how the actions of one affected the other etc. Mine was pretty much entirely off the cuff, I...

    General Thoughts: English Extension 1

    Loved this exam.. It would have sorted out so many people who went in with completely pre prepared essays and creatives, plus I think the 'responsibility' aspect of the crime question had a few interesting interpretations and the focus on character would have really screwed some people over. I...

    PREP Notifications for 2014..

    Hey! Just wondering who has applied and for what courses? Also, does anyone know how we are notified? I know they send a letter but do they also email you on the offer release date? (11th of November on the CSU website....) I applied for a Bachelor of Physiotherapy :)

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    The shape of the tent was actually close to two trapeziums... So the trapezoidal rule gave a better estimate as it split the area into two trapeziums that would have been roughly the same as the actual shape of the tent.. If that makes sense lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    Compared to last year's, holy crap. It was so difficult! And annoying too, it seemed to include a lot more questions aimed at extension students and limited the ability of 2U students to demonstrate what they do know.. I get they can't make it easy but if they only test the top 5% of students...

    HSC 2013 Maths Marathon (archive)

    Hey just a quick question... When writing answers what form do they usually want it in? For example, probability could be a fraction or a decimal, integral could be in terms of pi or an approximate decimal, equations of a line could be in gradient intercept or general form etc.. Obviously if...

    Using Romulus as a related?

    As I've been told, it's a big no no. The point of related texts is to demonstrate wide reading and research into the concepts found in the modules. If you pick a text from the prescribed list, it looks kind of lazy and like you are just trying to prevent any extra work in analysis. If it was...

    What's up with the marking criteria for the Smithsonian website essay?!

    Note the 'in a fixated manner'. Haven't studied the Smithsonian website, but my guess is it has to do with originality and counter arguments. Of course that is one main aspect, but if you can argue from a different side or focus on another aspect of the text you have a one-up on most others...

    History and Memory Help.... Poetry Anthology Analysis? How many Poems?

    Hey, so I'm studying Levertov's poems as a prescribed text for History and Memory. My question is, as it is a selection of poems that is our prescribed text, how many are we expected to analyse in depth in our essay? In my generic essay I have analysed 4 in depth plus a related text, but I'm way...

    Anybody from Sydney?

    Looking at studying Physio at UoN too! :) Actually, I'm currently deciding my location....This may seem like a silly question, but how is Newcastle seen as a university in terms of prestige? Like if you were to go an apply for a job afterwards, how would Newcastle stand up against other...

    Fastest pen??

    I had a brand new jetstream, and I had rewritten my Physics and Biology notes which amounts to around 250 pages of 12 point font. It ran out literally as I finished the last page lol
