glad to be of service duck

 

[angelduck]

absolutely no problem oh aztec sex goddess, ruler of the penguins

 

[silvermoon]

ahh, worship like i deserve

 

[Skitzo]

ALL of my trials have been catholic trials!

 

[silvermoon]

not surprising really; lots of schools use the catholic trials. These are usually the hardest of the trial papers though, so at least you'll have a better idea of what to expect in the real HSC exam

ALL of my trials have been catholic trials!

heapz of mine r made up from our own teachers and some jus mixed up CSSA and independent or wateva~

 

[angelduck]

our ancient exam was all catholic except the questions we were to do, our teacher made up some of those ones, but the other questions dont really matter, it was just to get us used to the format

 

[silvermoon]

well, she said she made em up anyway

 

[angelduck]

and u believed that shed make up questions for areas we didnt study and she prob had no idea about?

 

[silvermoon]

no, i was talking about our questions, not the ones on other areas. i doubt she made any of em up. too lazy by far.

 

[angelduck]

i think she did the first few minoans ones, and the one with that stupid pic. of a fisherman

 

[silvermoon]

nah, the fisherman pic was an old question i think. but, even if she did make up the first few...it's hardly difficult to think up questions worth 2 marks is it? stupid harpy-queen.

 

[angelduck]

Can u name 2 minoan palaces?

Or even 2 countries minoan crete traded with??

 

[silvermoon]

yep. and if we can do it...then again, i'm sure we could do lots of things harpy can't...

 

[angelduck]

like wear a skirt and not look like a 40yr old slut?

 

[silvermoon]

exactamolly. many muchos things. also...ancient history related things...

though staying awake in her class was always a challenge *rolls eyes*

 

[angelduck]

like staying awake in semantics lectures??

 

[silvermoon]

no, that's far more interesting. Is more like exercising the pateince not to disembowel your pop culture lecturer with her flat Perth accent

 

[xeuyrawp]

that could have been said, as angelduck showed, without the insfferable git attitude.

Shuttup, silvermoon. You're being a cranky bitch and attacking every post of mine you can find.

I have said it many times with out an 'insfferable git attitude', but noone gets it.

You're not in high school anymore - let those who are yell at people trying to get questions

No, I'm not. I DID do well in high school, and I DO now tutor it, mark ext history major works, and WILL mark ancient next year for the exams. If I yell, there's a reason. Yes, I'm sure you'll call me arrogant, like you love to do in every post, but yes, I'm sure I'll say 'I don't care'.

, they are the ones who will be affected.

Yes, they will be affected, but if I don't make it clear, they will be more affected.

less angry = happier forum

Like I said to you, less blunt does not = better marks.

Would you prefer better marks, or me be less blunt, hmm? People do not listen unless you either make it very obvious (huge font) or repeat yourself.

You can stay here, lecture me, and be a lovey-dovey know-it-all kind girl, or you can let me help people by getting it into their brain that you can't take the easy way out.

wow, by some strange coincidence i also did well in high school/HSC and also tutor several subects. Though it must be said that, as impressive as i'm sure you aimed to make this list, it has absolutely nothing to do with my initial comment.

i fail to see how i was being "a cranky bitch" and YOU are the only one 'attacking' anyone here. If i keep calling you arrogant then it's probably an indication that that's how you are coming across.

People do not listen unless you either make it very obvious (huge font) or repeat yourself.

If this is the only way you are able to get your points across then I fear you won't be a tutor for very long, unless of course the people who employ you are masochists.

less blunt does not = better marks.

There's no point in us arguing about that as we both are, I believe, quite firm in our opinions on that particular matter. HOWEVER, this is not what i meant when i said that:

less angry = happier forum

My point was that the aggressive, attacking nature of your post was not helpful to creating a calm forum for communication and, for lack of a better word, 'tutoring' purposes.

You can stay here, lecture me, and be a lovey-dovey know-it-all kind girl, or you can let me help people by getting it into their brain that you can't take the easy way out.

Firstly, i have NEVER in my life advocated that taking 'the easy way out' is the right way to do anything and you have no right or grounds to say that i have. At least you keep making me laugh with your posts though, you have the honour of being the sole person to ever describe me as 'lovey-dovey,' i'm sure there are plenty of people on BOS who will assure you that's not part of my character. When helping someone improve their skills/work yes, of course, HONESTY is important. however bluntness and honesty do not have to be the same thing. If i had a choice between 2 people's advice: both who were able to critique my work and help improve it i know i'd ask the person who gave constructive criticism and support whilst showing me what needed to be done to fix thigns or a person who insulted my intelligence by yelling and/or repeating themselves in a highly aggressive and critical way I know which one I'd choose.
