    Syd vs. NSW

    To all those who imagine themselve lazying around on those lucious lawns of the Quadrangle at Sydney... ...every time i've been there, there's signs on the lawn saying "keep off the grass." I think they have to keep it nice and green for the photo shoots.

    Crime Fiction: Text usage

    If you did 3, you wouldn't be covering the prescribed texts in enough detail.

    Uws

    But isn't it the reputation of the university that employers look at? It's the same with high schools, we get told that we have to "uphold the tradition and values of our school", basically act like a private school (too bad we're not) because of the reputation of the school. Supposedly...

    What do YOU think?

    How about one of the universities? I'm sure any uni would be more than happy to be associated with probably the most visited and the best site for HSC students.

    stimulus booklet- fractals and sturts dreaming + changing perspective

    Is it better to use the more unusual texts and be different. I'm assuming that the writer will get sick of people discussing the same text over and over again. The more a marker reads about a text, the better they know it. Whereas: If I used a text not many other people did, I could...

    Help with Donne: PLEASE!

    I think I'm stuffed because my SCHOOL didn't believe that we needed to cover specific critics in detail. We had been covering different readings, but not an individual perspective. Someone mentioned to one of the teachers during the last week that it says in the marking guidelines that the...

    hamlet/RAGAD...appearance VS reality

    Make sure you use the word context in your response somewhere. Extra marks if you work in 'Theatre of the Absurd"

    Remembering ALL text?

    It's highly unlikely that they will specify which poem to write about because both Donne and Sylvia Plath are in the same elective (Poetry) of the Module. Therefore, to be fair to all canidates doing that elective, the question should be general enough so that all canidates can answer it. If...

    The Stolen Children: Their Stories

    Does anyone else think that Carmel Bird is a bitch? The more I look at The Stolen Children, the more I think hey this isn't a very balanced piece of work. It's all about perspective. All the prefaces, introductions, and postscripts coincide with her perspective. She assumes the role...

    The Stolen Children: Their Stories

    Carmel Bird (the composer) also tries to change the perspective of the reader (responder) by structuring her text in .... ways.... and using ..... techniques. For example, she uses Sir Ronald Wilson's thingy as a preface because he is a well known guy, was the president of that commission...

    Problem - Need Advice

    Isn't there some kind of misadventure thing where you sit the exam, but fill in a form or something. Then when the marks come back, you get either your exam mark or some other in school assessment mark, whichever is higher.

    Board of Studies - WRITING BOOKLETS

    I'm sure your school only uses gross pink because they don't/didn't want people smuggling in prewritten essays from outside into the exams. As if anyone buys pink paper... Our school just makes funny paper with a different picture at the top every year. Sometimes it's a strange cartoon...

    HSC 2002 Exposed !!! On Kazaa

    Someone at my school wrote a part of a paper so bad that it was illegible. They didn't mark it. If they can't read your stuff, they'll go ask another marker to have a look at it, but if no one can read it...

    What do YOU think?

    Some sort of system for everyone to upload files and stuff before they get sorted by you guys. Perhaps FTP or a yahoo briefcase, group thingy.

    The subject I hate most is ...

    I love English What other subject do you get to sit around doing crosswords or reading the paper. Too bad there's that annoying person at the front going on about context or change or something, and that annoying person occasionally starts shouting because no one's listening. It's like she...

    Problems/bugs regarding the forums

    I'm no admin or whatever, but can't you just press the back button on your browser to return to the last page you were at, including all the stuff you've typed up. I get the same problem too, and it works for me. I may be using a different browser though. Opera 6.05

    Feasibility Study

    I presume you're talking about the various possible solutions not being feasible. I doubt they will ask a quesiton in the HSC where none of the solutions are feasible. If they do, then you'd have to explain which aspects of the solution aren't feasible, (technical, schedule, budget...
