My teacher is the worst. I have been struggling with this darn subject for soooo long. I have no idea how to read any of the deman/supply curves or any of that. My teacher reallllly sucks. Is there anything you can suggest that can help me. And because I don't know anything am i screwed for Year 12.

Any help would be awesome!







(i can't drop it don't bother trying to suggest that)

This might sound a bit slack, but you can't really blame your teacher for you failing. They are a teacher because the KNOW what they're talking about. Leaving it this late to say "wtf? i know nothing" is irresponsible.

You should talk to your teacher and discuss what you should do. Really, you should've done that when you didn't get anything in class. They're not mind readers sadly, so you're gonna have to tell them you're struggling. If you don't get a certain concept, ask for help.

Admittedly, year 11 marks don't carry over so you're alright on that. However, the stuff you learn now is the foundation of the HSC course. If you're intent on keeping the subject (implying you either need or like it), you should've put the effort in and motivated yourself.

All you can really do now is teach yourself the content, summarise a YEAR'S worth of work, and cram like no tomorrow. It's gonna be unpleasant. I really hope that you're exaggerating when you say you know 'nothing'.






(I'm not trying to be nasty, but hopefully you understand the point.)

Eco is my top subject, always scoring in excess of 95%. The thing i have noticed with the people in my class though, is that half of them don't know what the hell is going on. The way i have managed to stay on top is by taking a profound interest in the subject. This may seem like a long-term solution, but for you at this point in time, a tutor may be your only hope if you don't want to lag behind in year 12, although you get a fresh start, the concepts become harder and more difficult for you to understand if you don't pick them up now
