I'm at Hurlstone too. Hi roche.drynxz said:lol im going to hurlstone agriculture...but is ag easy to pic up for someone who doesnt know nething bout ag?? like im gonna be competing against people who have done ag for the past 4 years...
To drynxz who is in the year below me - I have no idea who you are but.. Don't worry. Agriculture in junior years revolved around pointless things like learning breeds, terms, etc. The only great thing you missed was the crash-course in tractor driving.
Now, there WAS some information that we got which is useful because its part of the HSC/Prelim syllabus also.. But we do it again in the senior years in more detail anyway so you shouldnt worry about it.
As for the school itself, we're lucky at Hurlstone because we get hands on practicals also but in the end, the information that we learn in class and are examined on don't really benefit from hands-on experience as much as you'd think. (Well.. at least thats what I think...)
Though we did get to run a lettuce trial this year which went nicely
Agriculture has to be one of my favourite subjects...
I don't mean to boast, but I put so little effort into it (at home) compared to other subjects and I do great!
With Agriculture I've really found that I only have to be very attentive in class, get my notes down.. and well.. Learn them when the time comes.
