Sorry, I meant to say if you don't like english already.

Hmm. Seems the UQ forum isn't very active. I had a look at the Cromwell site, but couldn't find any info on the deluxe rooms. Did I miss something, or do you guys just know about the deluxe rooms from word of mouth?

Shakespeare is pretty good if you just read it, without trying to read too much into it. Trust me, if you did your favourite movie or book in english, I'd imagine the subject would kill its entertainment value.

I'll say. Nice find, neither can I. :)

Fair enough. :) I think so. I've never had any trouble writing essays, papers, speeches, reports in any subject other than english. Your points are valid, which is why english (both standard and advanced) need a new direction. Writing styles to present arguments and things like that without...

If english is so helpful why can't you comprehend? :wave:

Heh, and so the cycle of arguments begins again... You have made your point, different subjects are good for different careers. If you are arguing to say that the current english course is NOT a waste of time for people heading down the writing path, then that makes sense too. So wouldn't you...

[1] Yes, but once again, the current english course only focuses on writing essays about its content. We learnt how to write essays years ago. [2] Of course, without HSC english, none of us would know how to read. :rolleyes: [3] That's irrelevant, no-one made you do maths. Sentences...

Yes, but that's my point. No-one makes you do maths/science. So if you elect it/them and it counts, fair enough. It's if you want to have a career in something unrelated to the english course, this gives you an option to be selected based on relevant marks.

I know a number of people that are smart enough to do mathematics, but they think it's too hard because they can't coast through without doing homework like in general maths. I also know many not-so-smart people that find general easy. So yeah, I agree, it's a joke subject. The one good thing...

Ah I had some really great points, but most have been said, but there's not a lot of point arguing. Basically, if you are good at writing fast and repeating what you heard last week, good luck. The system will reward you as you coast through and get 90% +. :)

I don't think 'english' is the right name for the subject. 'Literature studies' would be more like it. I despise the fact people are rewarded for waffling on and overanalysing the crap out of anything that is mentioned, adding significance to it because it must be symbolic. Clearly the composer...

Yep, seeing as many people do "2 backup units" only to have less time overall and get 10% fewer marks for everything and be actually WORSE off than just doing 10 units..

HSC: Advanced English 3 unit Maths (Finishing year 12 for it this year) Engineering Studies Physics Chemistry Total units = 11 [Total units being studied next year = 8 :)]

If you get an N award at any time in the preliminary course, you fail it. You can go onto year 12, but they will make you do a year 11 subject while you are in year 12, just so you have 12 prelim units. I'm sorry you elected extension, english is the most disgraceful excuse for a subject there...

Firstly, I think most of us can agree that in almost every situation, Exponential Growth and Decay is piss easy and possibly just a filler to add more content to the course as it's not really harder than the 2 unit version. I like Binomial theorem, permutations and combinations, because I am...

I have a question or two for this, and sorry if it's already been asked before (it's too hard to search for it): #1. If someone goes through maths normally (ie, does year 12 in year 12), and does E1 and E2 maths, I noticed they don't do the standard mathematics paper in the HSC. I also know...

This thread is 4 years old! I don't think the OP read your answer. Though the OP could've more easily GOOGLED and found the result in 10 seconds, rather than asking a question that someone else had to look up.

Well, Dyson vacuums are about the "cyclone" system, which is all plastic, so you could lookup blow moulding and injection moulding on wikipedia and howstuffworks. Likewise with how different types of AC motors work. EDIT: Also, these links (and the links they contain) here and here should help...

I made my expectations: English - 83 Science - 90 Maths - 91 History - 82 Geography - 84 Computing - 97 :)
