[Mr. Sabuncuoglu]

[Will Hunting]

economics WHA...!?!?!? Pretty sure that went out in 2001, man.

 

[Sarah168]

errr i think 3u eco was phased out for the new HSC....or am i missing something?

 

[kami]

Economics Extension was a course in the old HSC, however when the syllabus was altered the course was discontinued and is taught no longer.

[Mr. Sabuncuoglu]

You guys are right, economics in terms of the 3u syllabus has been integrated in the 2u course. It doesn't run at any schools anymore, as economics 2u barely runs, speaking primarily from western public schools experience. It's a highly sophisticated subject which extends considerably higher from of learning styles than business studies or legal studies. Considered by many as the "hardest" social science, but then that doesn't mean it's generally more difficult, but moreso more work (especially @ high school level)

hehe..there are only 12 ppl in my eco class (girls school), guys schools generally have more classes and co-ed in between

 

[Mr. Sabuncuoglu]

yeh i realli think they should reintroduce it... cuz in my skool the yr 12's their's these two guys that should b doing 3 unit eco if there was one!!! their reall good, all rounders aswell which is very good....
and jus to let u all know, watch out for em in the future... could b one day watching them or reading up on them... well hopefully anyway!!!

economics is a good subject... but i cant bloody wait to get ovr the basic things!

[Airazer]

you could do accelerated economics like all the smarter people.

 

[Mr. Sabuncuoglu]

you could do accelerated economics like all the smarter people.

where do u go for that?

 

[monique66]

just talk to your social science head teacher...

 

[Mr. Sabuncuoglu]

just talk to your social science head teacher...

okz then... do u know of any ppl that do accelerated eco? if so how do they find it?

 

[monique66]

know, accelarated eco means you do the hsc course in yr11. Same course only the year before so they would do the HSC with the current yr 12. Are you in yr11? If so then you can't do it now, its too late to start (i think) you would just have to do it with your yr12...

Whoah

We have around 50 eco HSC students at my school.. and we only have 150 students in total; mind you, it is a selective so maybe it's slightly different? I'm also one of maybe 5 skips in the entire year who do economics haha, and I don't do maths or any science so it makes my time table interesting.

 

[nick1048]

acceleration isn't offered at our school for any subject. Sorry champ

We have four full classes of Economics at my school, which is why I was so surprised to read that only 5000-6000 students do it in the state each year.
