Yeah, we were never really told what it was meant to mean either. I ended up asking my teacher for a definition to put in essays cos I really had no idea, and he said it was "The interplay between power and control." I put that definition in all my essays on Powerplay, and it seemed to go down...

I thought it was OK-but our teacher taught it to us really badly. We just watched video after video instead of actually going through syllabus points...when the exams came around I realised I didn't know anything I needed to! I also thought the actual HSC questions on WW1 were pathetic...I...

Yeah, I saw them at Homebake last year. I hadn't heard of them before, but there were no other bands on at that time that I really wanted to see, so I just sorta wandered over with no expectations and not knowing what to expect...but they turned out to be one of the highlights of the day...

Well I was completely shocked...the person I thought was gonna get dux came third on 96.something-I thought she was a shoe-in!:eek: The person who did get dux got 97.something, which was also a surprise-I thought she would have gotton a 98 at the absolute lowest.

This is all good advice.:) *Sharpen your pencils before you get into the exam-but don't make them so sharp that they will break as soon as you try to write something...you don't want to waste time sharpenin during the exam-it could mean the difference between finishing that last question or...

hehe. :) Oh well...if this is confusing other people besides me then I guess everyone else will probably be in the same boat! I'll just turn up on the day and get lost with all the other first years. ;) Thanks for trying to help.

I sanyone else here a Nick Drake fan? I heard Triple J do a file on him about 2 years ago, and I thought he was pretty good but didn't really think too much about it...then last month I found Pink Moon for $10 so I decided to give it a go and bought it, and it is so good! His voice annoys me a...

I am at Sydney UNI, at the Cumberland Campus. The E101 definately refers to the room number, not the class...I just don't get what it is meant to mean. Level E? Block E? Level 1? Ground level? :confused: And the two classes at once thing have two different classes going at once, not just...

OK-I'm looking at my timetable for this year that was in the student handbook for my course, and I am totally lost. For instance: E101-would that mean block E, level 1, room 1? Also-some of the timeslots have been divided into 2 columns...like, say on a Friday at 2:00 for example, that...

Anyone else here doing a health science at the Cumberland campus?

We did China, and it was friggin hard. Apparently only 2% of schools do it. It wouldn't be that bad except for the language-there are alternate spellings for every persons name and it's hard trying to remember them all. Also-there aren't many textbooks about it, so if we couldn't find the...

I have to do this speech thing at my school tomorrow, about how to suceed in the HSC (they get everyone who gets a UAI over 90 to go back to do it, just during a school assembely.). So I'm currently trying to think about some stuff to say. (hehe...I obviously didn't learn anything about not...

We had 1 modern, and 1 ancient-but there were probably enough interested studnets to have made a second ancient class, but there weren't enough teachers to do that. Modern wasn't as popular-a few people short of a full class, and a few of those who only chose it cos the ancient class was full...

I own a guitar, but am still an absolute beginner at it. I've had it since yer 9, but I always get so frustrated not being able to play it, and keep giving up and having to start all over again... I also really want to learn the drums, the piano, the bass guitar and the double bass, but seeings...

I think thats how it's supposed to happen in theory, but if a marker sits down and reads heaps on the same thing, then reads one on something a bit different, the may throw an extra mark or two your way for taking a more original appraoch-maybe it will seem like you better understand the topic...

I did it last year, we did the poem "The Pardoners Tale" and the movie "A Simple Plan". The movie was pretty good I thought, the poem was really long and boring, but the teachers understood that and tried to make it easy on us, giving us interpretations and stuff, so that wasn't too bad in the...

I did the song "Captain" by Something For Kate, and the bok "Willow Tree and Olive"by Irini Savides. I thought they were pretty good choices cos ther wasn't TOO much to write about. You can't afford to spend too much time on each thing, and both of those were easy to quickly sum up. I know...

I bought the Modern History one, and we were issued with the biology one as our main textbook. The modern history one was pretty good for the World War 1 stuff...it didn't have one of my options in it (The Chinese Revolution), and it had some stuff on my second option (The Cold War), but that...

Yeah, To Kill A Mockingbird was pretty good...we didn't have to read the book though, we just watched the movie.:p

Is anyone else studying at the Cumberland campus? I don't know whats going on with O-week...I read in one of the hadbook things that it goes for 2 days, but in the orientation day guide we got at enrolment and on the website it says it only goes for one. Are we meant to also go to any of the...
