religion as a scaled up subject
I have been told that religion is usually scaled up as a difficult subject.
My analysis:
Religion is one of the largest courses - most number of people, second after english i believe? due to a high level of spirituality in nsw? or because many catholic schools make religion manditory.
these high levels of people that are forced to do religion often take harder subjects, that are more relevant to our life, (not knocking religion, good for social services..)
SMart students who achieve well in every other exam dont give a shit about their mandatory religion unit, and so dont study at all ( Thats me! ^_^ )
board of studies sees results for religion exams with an unusually low raw mark.
As the people who take religion are not all dumb, they assume that it was difficult.
therefore they scale it up a lot,
This is my supporting argument for my leaving early, and writing the entire exam in capital letters, just to amuse the marker,
now i have contributed to the low marks that scale the rest of the state up with this usless unit.
