They don't tell you your marks for each essay or even for each english paper! Hehe i remember being briefly annoyed because ironically, i'm pretty sure i lost my marks on AOS! :p I got 91 for the exam(s) and 93 as my HSC mark because luckily i was ranked first and had my assessment marks lift...

it's my pleasure :) Unfortunately I have no way of being able to tell how it was marked, so i don't want to guess and throw you off. I think its really got the makings of a good essay, you clearly know your stuff, you just need to make it more concise and powerfully stated so as to more...

It's very good, so bear in mind these are really minor, nitpicky criticisms just to make you think in the "how do i make it even better" kinda way :p Try breaking your stance/information into smaller points. Those were 2 enormous blocks of text and under time pressure, messy handwriting and...

Hmmmm i don't know. I haven't gotten that impression. All my subjs have been pretty up-to-date, but if you're not feeling comfortable with it, go to unsw. I was also unsure as i had the feeling unsw would be more "modern" than usyd, but i was just relying too much on the impression from the...

Oh i agree with abbreviating words e,g RBA but I don't think arrows give a good impression, particularly since when the marker reads them it doesn't have an english correspondent. For instance if i said "when the govt raises i.r's then..." you read it as "when the government raises interest...

Hehehe a girl in my class last year asked me if Cheryl Kernot was a real person or not :rolleyes: (and she was ranked first in english at the time!)

gregor's got it right! :D Especially that part about intertextuality - they merge so many "real life" references and personalities into the episodes you don't know what's real and what's note - there's no clear demarcation between Frontline the fictional show and the real world. As such...

Lol Gilly i remember feeling like that, but don't give up - it's soooo soon until its all over and then u can be as cool as me and still hang out on hsc forums ;) You're so close to the end. Think about what you want to do next year and how great it can be...and just keep trying :p And keep...

haha gilly...i've finished hsc :p

oh ok we just posted concurrently, sorry minai. :shy:

1 - OK macroeconomic policy includes mainly fiscal and monetary policy. It focuses on the economy as a whole. It aims to reduce fluctuations in economic activity, achieve sustainable economic growth, reduce inflation, lower unemployment and lower/maintain a lower current account deficit...

It's hard to really give a generic answer to that. So I'll just try to explain the little that i remember doing... I had an article on the Cheryl Kernot/Gareth Evans affair. I talked about how Cheryl had written a book seeking to promote her version of the "truth" and to create a particular...

Hehehe I remember last year we had all these plans for what to bring in with us. People had tissues, lollies, water etc etc...Realistically though, for the essay exams (english/history) none of us had a *chance* to pause for water etc...ahh it was a nice idea though! :)

Supplementary material is just that - it is meant to *supplement* your argument by supporting your points and giving additional examples. Don't get caught in the trap of looking for material that is *similar* to frontline - look for what can best complement your material. Does CNNNN do that...

Gillybean is right - In order to really demonstrate your understanding of "telling the truth" it would be good to start off by explaining what "frontline" is and differentiating it from the show within the show. Explain that they too are manipulating the truth, presenting one perspective of...

You guys are probs looking at practice HSC questions right? Also look at the paper itself and how its set out. I nearly freaked out when i sat down for my first english AOS and it was "fill out the paper with ur numbers" time and i was freaking out - "omg this is what a real hsc paper...

My pleasure :)

I wouldn't sum it up like that, no...just do what you feel comfortable with :)

its about understanding all the forces of change in Germany at that time. So yes, consider the left (and how its division facilitated Hitler's rise). Consider the junker class and its desire for a return to authroitarianism. Consider the centre parties and their failure to adequately...

Ok, another conservative group that is important to consider is the "Harzburg Front". This was the right wing media controlled by Hugenberg (think UFA film productions). A partnership of convenience gave hitler extensive exposure in the media, and they also gave a lot of coverage to his...
