    Option: DSS

    No, intelligent agents and neural networks are separate things. An intelligent agent is a piece of software which searches through data to find relevant data and patterns in data mining. They do not learn. For example, spiders/crawlers/robots in search engines are intelligent agents.

    Answering long answers questions

    Depends on the question. If you have a question which is asks for advantages and disadvantages or compare and contrast, you might even do it in a table form. But unless you're strapped for time, write in full sentences. You shouldn't be running out of time, really.

    Who came first in their ipt class :D

    Short answers are the best! Long answers are worse for examiners who have to read your dribble. If you can write it in a concise way, it would really show that you actually know your stuff rather than coming up with stuff as you write. Of course, you can't write TOO little. And of course, use a...

    IPT Question Please answer

    Well, actually, Project Work is a HSC topic as well, isn't it? I'd say the only thing you need to know is the basic stuff. Like terms and such.

    Excell formulas?

    There have been some pretty crappy spreadsheets in the HSC in the past (well, crappy if you want to do it properly), so the best thing to do is just to experiment with Excel and look at the more specialised operators, such as LOOKUP and IF. LOOKUP is useful when you're allocating values for...

    Terrible Subject

    I guess it all depends on the teacher, because I changed my subject selections from Modern History to IPT (because I liked the teacher--I had her in year 9 & 10 for computing studies) and I'm so so so so glad... Even if it doesn't count towards my UAI, it will still useful to me because I...

    Multimedia Study thread

    It's still wrong because the question asked for 2 minutes, which is 120 seconds, not 180.

    No Calculators? WTF?

    You never know. We might be lucky and get one which easily simplifies. I guess it's tough on non-Maths students because you could convert nearly everything to 2 to-the-power-somethings and do it that way. Video size calculations aren't included though, are they? I asked my teacher about it...

    Uh, help?

    I haven't started studying either (because of 4/3U Maths) and I'm also aiming for band 6... But I was just wondering if anyone knows if we're supposed to know how to draw system flowcharts, and also how many of the symbols we're supposed to be able to recognise. I highly doubt that we'd be asked...

    Just a bit of help!!

    Yup. Sounds good to me :) I was recently inspired to use the motifs thing in my essay as well, cos I felt that one of my My Place paragraphs was lacking in techniques, so kudos to you for listing so many techniques.

    Just a bit of help!!

    This one is probably better referred to as use of symbology or motif. Another motif used are the bells, representing control.

    Rearranging some paragraphs from my Inner Journey Essay AND Do we need 2 additional?

    There are lot of improvements which can be made, but I guess the major issue is that a lot of the wordiness comes from retelling the text, which you don't have to cos the marker definitely knows the prescribed text. So when you talk about all that Bill stuff, just refer to it briefly like "her...

    Catholic Trials f*ck up

    Skewed The whole situation is propagating from everyone's lack of information and misinformation. The fact of the matter is that the problem was not caused by us Cheltenham Girls personally (because we couldn't have known that our trial was the CSSA one until after we'd done Paper 2, by which...
