Be careful, however, to structure your answer in a cohrenet manner. If you have a lot of information, but you ramble and waffle a lot, then you're likely to be marked down as your answer is not clear and concise despite the excess of info. And as Dreamerish said, include the Brazil...

Your textbook should have a case study on Brazil and Poland (my one did, I'm using The Market Economy). The one in my book had an excellent examination of the impact of globalisation on both those economies. Off the top of my head, for Brazil: - Heavily affected by speculative investment -...

You can run Generals, yes. I run Generals Zero Hour no problems on my 1.6Ghz laptop (integrated graphics). You can forget about the other two though. No chance in hell you'll be able to run those at playable speeds. I_F

My understanding of Ext. 2 English is that you complete a major work, which can be analytical or creative, and submit that to the Board of Studies and a journal to your teacher, which forms you assessment mark. More, I couldn't say. I_F

Do pick Extension Two English. The best fun in class you may have all week. Unless your school is so small that you're a class of 1, and the teacher is on long-service leave. That makes for pretty uninteresting classes. I_F

As far as I can tell, D would be correct. :) I_F

There is a whole tutoring forum available - don't spam up the maths forums. I_F

Because it is a basic human need to learn how to read and write and basically be able to communicate and interact with other human beings, whereas it is not a necessity to know how to find the directrix of a parabolic function or the derivative of a quadratic. Taking things back a step, it is...

Our school will most likely be running 2 electives, Medical Physics and Quanta to Quarks. I'll be taking the latter. :) I_F

We have a teacher who teaches Maths + Physics - I only have 1 unit with him (two more last year) but others have 6 units with him - 4 units of Maths + 2 units of physics. He is responsible for more than half their HSC. Next year's Year 11 at my school is likely to be in exactly that situation...

Hey you never think about the acceleration of earth around the sun! And the acceleration of our solar system around the galaxy! (maybe even the acceleration of the galaxy towards the edge of the universe) Whether or not the Earth/Solar System is actually accelerating as opposed to moving with...

Well, it's probably the best system in that it has the least flaws. Which doesn't say much. But it does allow for a system where schools are relatively free to set assessments as they wish - it's how people perform in relation to each other that's important, not what everyone's exact marks were...

This year, I had Maths first period every week, and Maths last period every week. By the end of the year, with 4 unit, I was seeing my maths teacher first and last thing each week, a total 16 times a fortnight, 50 minutes at a time, and was just the timetable. No wonder he decided to leave...

So that means if the highest mark for your school was 70% lets say, then the highest HSC mark you will get is 70%? If the highest mark in the HSC exam was 70%, then rank 1 (as determined by the assessments held through the year) in that subject will receive 70% as their HSC assessment mark...

Medium - "An intervening substance through which signals can travel as a means for communication". So, using that, vacuum is not a medium since it is not a substance - it is the lack of substance and matter. I_F

I hate English. I have to put so much more effort to do well in English than any other subject. And it's the only compulsory one. Sigh. I_F

Hehe... good on you too. Right now I'm catching up on the work I couldn't be bothered doing in the last week of term... But give me a few weeks and I'll start pushing ahead again. :p I_F

Nice way all round to end the year off, ane_st. :) I_F

Technically, we haven't done logs yet either. I've just done some extension work along the way (the sad case that I am). It's an option topic in Year 10, but most people cover it in Year 12, so don't worry too much. :) I_F

Well, if we're going to be pedantic... I_F
