what else do you expect from a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds?

lol, I'd like to see someone say that in the exam :)

My major project was all about programming. However bear in mind that the bulk of SDD is theory, and so is IPT. The main difference is that IPT is more about hardware and SDD is more software-oriented

This was the worst question for me. Didn't leave enough time either but I thought I got some good ideas down so it should be OK

Ditto. It was exactly the essay I memorised at home, so I just inserted some extra argument stuff and copied the whole thing.

My hand only just stopped aching this morning, and I won't even get into how hard it was to clean the ink off my left hand... So who wants to join me at the beach to have a nice big bonfire where we burn all our texts? :D

Does anyone know a good reading for the love story/fairy tale aspect of Jane Eyre? And was there any critic who praised Bronte's use of poetic imagery? I can't remember this one's name... I think it might have been Cyril or something

The likely scenario is that we'll get at least one essay, possibly two. The other(s) will be something like a weekly column or a conversation, but not completely random (write a short story based on Hamlet and how Stoppard has transformed it... hehe)

There's a video or something you can get that includes itnerviews with some of the housemates. You could use articles about the WMD's and Howard's 'knowledge ' (or lack thereof) for a more recent issue, but everyone will be using those so I'd advise against it. Personally I'm using a Chaser...

evidence: acid rain->dissolving statues + lakes acidifying records since 1950's when we got instruments accurate enough to measure low conc Acid rain's the main one I think...

Yep, since you'll get differing amounts of C and CO depending on how much oxygen is present

I doubt it really matters much: 1 intro + 3-5 body + conclusion=a max of 8 lines spacing btwn paragraphs which is about a 1/4 of an HSC booklet page.

Sorry to disagree with everyone... isn't it a reflective piece?

We're doing medical, but I really wanted Q2Q. We almost got enough votes and then the teacher told us that the head of department 'decided' we should do medical. DIE EVIL TEACHER!!!

I got a HD, don't know how but yeah:cool:

I went for it last year... learnt almost nothing for it and scraped a Credit somehow :) It's damn hard, you have to learn heaps of extra crap in your own time to do well

For "Smaller Fish": "we've put it on the backburner...it's just being run past a few people...don't want to upset anyone...can't condemn them for one piece of footage...we have courts to decide these things" I'm not using the other 2 episodes so I can't help there...

Yep I think so, and you gotta remember that the examiners don't actually care what your texts are so there's no point talking about them that way ( as if they actually have a plot...)

I think you've put too much detail about the texts into the intro. The intro is only supposed to show where your argument is going, as opposed to doing the 'how' and 'why' of each text which you're meant to leave to the body. Also remember that repeating yourself in the exam too much might lose...

How could the Australian scientist one be worth 7 marks? We could also get one of those disgustingly vague outcomes questions.
