So if you support that, I guess that means I'm allowed to take and distribute all your facebook pictures and info.

While I'm at it, I guess I'm off to the Commonwealth Bank website as well. I hear everything is open, public and accessible to everyone.

Re: James ruse 2011 trial papers?

All I did was quote Firefox.

But if you don't support their position, how about a situation where 1000 past papers are available only to private school students because they paid their money and 0 past papers for public school students because they didn't?

All are enrolled to do the SAME HSC exams regardless. So if we close off past papers to the public and only allow private schools to access them, does this give private schools an advantage? Well of course it does! So then the question becomes do you support private schools having this advantage or not?

It is unavoidable, i don't support it but they have more money and we just have to suck it up.

Re: James ruse 2011 trial papers?

yeah,
thanks to the fu*king idiot at my school who uploaded the username and password for the world to see. The papers were to benefit people at my school only, and now they have taken down the past papers feature. takes one person to ruin it for the rest of the school.
so dont even try the website anymore because it doesnt exist.
i told everyone the username and password to that site about a year ago

everyone already knew about it

ummm... private school students PAY for them

so do you believe if i pay for past papers then i receive an unfair advantage?

if i pay for maths tutoring, does that mean i have an unfair advantage?

Re: James ruse 2011 trial papers?

This closed-minded and competitive attitude is an anathema to the subject of mathematics.

Imagine if Euclid was sued for breach of copyright. Mathematics would be set back THOUSANDS of years!

If mathematicians can't access each others ideas the subject cannot progress.

The subject of mathematics will suffer if this contemptible position of keeping knowledge locked up and only available to those who can afford to buy it is allowed to prevail.

m8 you are taking this way out of context, it's just the hsc

the purpose of the hsc isn't to allow students to advance the field of mathematics, it's to rank every student in NSW

so you're saying that if i invent something then i have no right to call it my own and do whatever i want with it?

Re: James ruse 2011 trial papers?

Then why don't we just rank them on the basis of the number of past papers they have access to and not even bother marking their exams?

The integrity of the HSC will be shot if this is the case.

because the number of past papers someone has access to would have very little influence on their hsc performance

This is a nice idea and there are reasons why some might be attracted to it.

However the realities of the HSC are such that most students and teachers would want access to as many past papers as possible on the assumption (rightly or wrongly) that this WILL have a positive influence on their HSC performance.
