    2008 NRL Premiership

    Storm lost to Roosters :o It was a pretty close game all the way through. I think they need to get rid of the video ref overruling strips straight away. its such a waste of time!! And the game has no flow, they dropped down the interchange to 10 but instead the big forwards get a 2-3 minute...

    Year 11 stress...

    I know its a bad study technique but for regular/ easy study (reading, writing notes) I listen to music it seems to relax me alot. For more intense work like Maths Ext. homework or writing English essays I get rid of the music. Avoid giving yourself an excuse to get up (have a bottle of water...

    In response to Permutations and Combinations Thread Question

    Well I think I did 8 factorial (8!) because I counted A as one thing and I wasnt sure whether to multiply that by 2! because there are 2 possibilities of A occuring if that makes sense. In the end I panicked and just did 8! but I'm pretty sure thats wrong.

    English Texts, Devices, Elements and Techniques

    Does soliloquy count? Like in Shakespeare? Also I'm not sure if it was there but enjambment, which is run on lines in poetry.

    In response to Permutations and Combinations Thread Question

    I have a permutations and combinations question, In my test on friday the question was "How many ways can the word ALGEBRAIC be arranged" Now the only thing that stumped me was there is two A's. I think I did it right but I'm not sure. Can someone give me hand please? :)

    How many extensions?

    I'd say that, in class, Extension Maths has more work but as for assignments Ext. English requires more work. They are about the same in overall workload for me.

    Your Top/worst Subject?

    Maths is a really important subject I agree, at some school its compulsory or the only other option is a non UAI course. I think everyone should do maths just like everyone does english and the scaling is awesome for 3 and 4 unit maths.

    Teacher's effort V Student's effort

    :O wow well I have nothing compared to that! At my friends school, a catholic school two of the teachers ran off together because they were having an affair. They were both women though....

    Yr 11 performance

    And I thought I push myself hard! I have noticed you take you learning really seriously and I really respect that, I have a problem with procrastination but I'm getting there. Got another English essay result back: 18/20 alright mark I suppose. Ext maths test tomorrow though :( I'm stressing.

    Teacher's effort V Student's effort

    That is a good point but for subjects such as Maths and English which involve understanding concepts I think a teacher is required.

    Your Top/worst Subject?

    I wouldnt say I'll EASILY get a band 6 but English is by far my best subject, I am proud to say through all of year 10 and year 11 I havent recieved a mark on an essay lower than an A in english. I don't particually enjoy it but its my best subject and I find it pretty easy.

    Teacher's effort V Student's effort

    I think students are more motivated to do well if they have a good teacher. If I sit in class and have a teacher who does nothing and tells us to copy from the textbook I dont feel motivated or have a drive to do well. When I have a teacher who pushes me, encourages me and obviously is trying...

    Teacher's effort V Student's effort

    I think both are important but I cannot learn without having a good teacher. It does come down to the teacher that they provide a platform for the student to do well and from there the student has to take that opportunity.
