    HSC - All my own work

    wasting a bit of my time on this course isn't really my problem. it's the part where BoS considers me an unintelligent piece of sh!t. What? Plagiarism in tetiary education? Yeah right. I'm soooooo gonna go and plagiarise when the universities have a program/machine that scans massive portions of...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    the fag who wrote the syllabus 35 years ago can stfu. we're in the year 2007 now, no one cares about what some old sack of crap has to say about the current english syllabus. maybe the DoE changed the syllabus to the current one because the previous syllabuses including the 1972 one were shit?

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    adequate is spelt with an E not an A and you the SC is pathetic. you don't need to necessarily be able to write essays and spell properly to pass it. it's virtually impossible to fail it unless you get non-attempts for your subjects. even a crappy band 2 or 3 will get you pass SC.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    There IS no argument in maths. In maths, you use the formulas, you sub in the numbers and you get your answer. Everyone gets the same answer. If it's not the same answer it's wrong. What argument is there in that? How can you possibly argue when there's only one right answer, only one side. What...

    @ekirii hm ive read neither sun's or zhuge's art of war, though i actually started reading zhuge's 'way of the general', it's some pretty good stuff. i quite admire some of the people of that time, as they had really high moral values and a sense of righteousness and honour. Leaders like that...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    and yet, it was from english, the 'complete waste of time' that you learnt the concepts of utopia and that 'One man's Utopia is another man's Dystopia.' Students are being motivated to work because they don't want to fail their uni courses, they don't want to fail at life. This is one reason why...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    Wow...I'm actually a little saddened by what I'm hearing here. You all seem to be convinced that the current english course is a waste of time because of the teachers and the marks. That's a little sad. School is supposed to be about learning interesting, useful and enjoyable things, but the...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    The process of maths is like a program in a computer. It follows a rigid, set process for us to follow, i.e the formulas. In maths, it's 1 set formula (or a few more depending on the question) which leads you to only ONE answer or ONE set of answers. Everyone has to get the same answer and it...

    No one is saying that overanalysing a text helps us to read. It's about being able to look at things from multiple perspectives and then arguing your view. In poetry, just because you see it differently fromt he poet's original intention doesn't mean it's wrong, as long as you can put up a good...
