you've made some very good points - however, please remember that poor spelling and grammar and inappropriate word usage are like red flags to a bull for a marker.

The 'dumbing down' of English in schools is hardly a new issue in education. There have been multiple studies done which look at comparing literacy rates across generations. Most professionals seem to agree that literacy rates having been getting worse over time. As to your point about the...

you mean for the essay on 'what is history'? I didn't exactly 'focus' on one or two historians, but I had 6-7 that I knew the most about/was most comfortable with. You can't remember everyone in the source booklet! - I think if you try to focus on too many of the historians you probably...

don't let the figures fool you - if you commit yourself to the major work (since this forms such a large part of your eventual mark) and learn your work it's easy to get in band E4. Remember, with both the case study and "What is History?" module, although there seems to be a veritable mountain...

wow, it's my beer wench. yes, thats right. only my wench *shakes fist* get me a drink duck - now!!! back on newy...one of my law lecturers looks like a hobo, i feel terrible saying that, but it's so true. he's scary in a psychopathic 'is-he-about-to-murder-us-all-with-a-hatchet?' way. yeah...

remember too that a certain percentage of your units can be made up with alternate courses --> type B I think they're referred to - eg. some tafe courses

the babies ate them? mmmmm ...i'm sensing a common theme here....

Shakespeare introduces to you the idea that English language may be manipulated to discuss both new concepts and conceptual models

hopefully by the end of the year you will have more than a "brief understanding of a few techniques"

You have missed the point --> the english syllabus directs you to be taught things such as - as you pointed out - how to identify and discuss the use of 'techniques' as a framework to enhance your communication and critical analysis skills.

well, I'd like to help you but I'm not exactly sure by what you mean regarding: * a 'dialogue quote' - dialogue from what? Are you talking about a specific text here or just any text in general? * what is the question you're trying to answer? We can't help you find an appropriate quote if we...

heheheh, couldn't agree more. pwar, point acknowledged re: [sic] --> we have to conform to the AGLC standards for citation in law and I always forget now to switch back to parentheses...and yes, before anyone says anything, I realise that that was a rather irrelevant piece of trivia, but don't...

oh so not true!! no1 who lives in canberra can be awesomer than me. yeah, thats right awesomer. me speak da good englesh!! *OMG, if Clack was dead she'd have rolled over in her grave....*

OMG, i didn't know it came in blocks! *drools* i've seen the elevator....yep, that was my contribution.

ok, reconsidering that post. darcho, that was an unfair comment and I apologise. so, this discussion is going to make me nasty to people so I'm just going to leave it now. Darcho and hometownhero: I don't agree with your views on the best/most efficient way to construct a major work, but...

"[your] grounding in...edicate" (sic)? I'm surprised you know what it means, though I'm not surprised that you can't spell it. ...and we're uneducated...

lol *sheepish* I can't type, it's true *dramatic swoon* oh what to dooooooo?

1. lack of originality does not equal 'efficiency' 2. the only thing I could see that hometownhero wanted to do was support darcho against pwaryeux 3. I said nothing about being "remembered"

just slightly :p

seems a very impressive list darcho. of course, as you pointed out yourself, you have only done two assessments thus far. if you want to keep your marks up then you will have to read your texts. no-one is trying to say that that's necessarily enjoyable all the time, but if you really find it...
