heh yes - neutral expression examiners are so difficult for me to deal with because I'm so used to performing to people who are smiling at me whenever I dare snatch a glance at them I suppose you too have this feeling (band?), since you're probably used to performing to people who scream and...

lol *looks up at milly's post* MinAi you do not know the extent of Milly's unhappiness! But she will be happy because she is going to come to UNSW with me and we are both going to take Latin together, as part of our respective BIT and Science *ahem*/Law courses. *imagines the light of...

I finish on the 13th I think - Latin Continuers I suppose that's late but I'm not complaining because I have a great timetable (go Latin) :) Weisy

just to add my two cents - I was always under the impression that carbon made a metal more brittle - hence the "stressed areas" of a piece of non-passivating metal rust more quickly, due to the carbon in the metal alloy which becomes clustered around it. so... can the strength of a metal be...

heh - SATs eh? do you want to go to an American college? bit late now if you want to get in this semester... I have info about that... the best way to find out information about it is to see your school careers counsellor. If this fails, do what I did and take a train to the MLC...

where period is in radians (360/n period in degrees)

A mole is a measure of number of particles of anything. This number is 6.02x10^23, I think. So regardless of relative atomic mass, a mole of carbon atoms has exactly the same number of particles in it than a mole of uranium atoms, despite the obvious differences in their weight. Hence...

hmmm... planets and other celestial bodies may orbit in near-circular paths, but unless a person still believes in Ptolemy's epicycle theory, circle geometry pretty limited in its application. (ie. no application) :)

My teachers have always told me that it is probably best to only know one in detail. This may seem risky, but I really don't think it is, because: (1) As Will pointed out, the thing itself says we only need to know one. This means that any HSC paper cannot ask you to refer to more than...

MLC Burwood this year... 4 unit maths 3 unit english 2 unit chemistry 2 unit latin 2 unit cosmology last year... 2 unit business studies the year before last... 3 unit music :)

good stuff good luck, Dev just for the record, my name's Wei (pronouced 'way', hence "Weisy" is "waysie"), and so the 'wisey' pun doesn't fit entirely. however, thanks for the sentiment. cheers :)

The UAC number is the number you receive after you put in your preferences for university courses wither by phone or web. It was a very illusive number to me until I actually apllied last week, however now it seems to me that your UAC number is 1 in front of your student number (in the cases of...

I would have to agree on that one. King Lear involves the most thought and desperate clawing for marks. Pity though - it is the one text in the entire course (which I'm doing) with any depth... :)

oh, and... Fair enough, but some people do see a point in doing it, do enjoy it, and actually do it as a career. And also - is a job and income in life really what constitutes meaning in it? :)

Yes, I apologise for deviating from what the thread was originally about. You personally may not have been condemning others, but other people were, and the thread was really going nowhere. Still, could I point out what we are arguing here is defunct, because we are really agreeing with...

50% for 4 unit... dead serious....:) The course itself is fantastic. Time, is the issue, rather - there just isn't enough of it! It's also good to put into perpective the fact that although 4unit is difficult, you don't need to excel in it to understand the concepts, and liking the...

:rolleyes: looks above at Anton's post* hmmm...we'll you're always welcome! Personally, I'd have to agree with harder 3unit. At least with the other topics you know what to expect in the exam. In harder 3unit, you could get pretty much anything. It's the unpredictability which makes it...

Doing the rest of conical pendulums and banked trackes in mech. tomorrow that is our last topic...can't wait to finish!
