I wish the boardofstudies published these standard packages on the internet - not just samples!

Some of our teachers have showed them in class...it basically has a sample band 1/2 answer, band 3/4, and band 5/6 answer for LAST YEAR's HSC! But, OMG, it was quite funny looking at some of the Band 1/2 answers (No, I don't feel guilty laughing at them, because it was obvious these people didn't study).

Who else has seen them? I wish I could look at the CDs from all my subjects I do. The Band 5/6 ones are usually pretty interesting.

There was a thread on the Standards Packages before. The teachers aren't supposed to just give them to students but if you asked the right people I'm sure they'll let you 'borrow' it.

 

[ben]

oh ok - thanks for that link

so, are they ever going to be put up (boredofstudies.org) I wonder?

 

[Kristy]

all my teachers made copies of the cds for me. aren't they supposed to or something?

 

[sunny]

Nope.

Strictly, the teachers are only allowed to show students with OHPs or photocopies, and not supposed to copy the CDs, after all the Standards Packages are like any other piece of copyrighted software.

But....what the hell

 

[Lazarus]

If we ever get sent copies of the CDs, we'll put them up.

This site breaks every copyright rule in the book
But thats why I love it so much

I actually received an email about copyrighted trial exams the other day... which is why the ETA exams aren't online anymore. Most people don't care though.

Dear Mr King

It has come to my attention that your "Bored of Studies" website
contains commercial material under copyright to the NSW English
Teachers' Association. You need to know that the NSW English
Teachers' Association is an organisation which acts on behalf of its
members and,in that capacity,acts as a commercial enterprise to raise
money for member-related purposes. We do not supply material free of
charge to non-members.

Your use of this material is in breach of copyright.I am instructing
you to remove from the site within 24 hours all material which has as
its source the NSW English Teachers' Association - that includes
material which carries the ETA logo or material which was originally
sourced from ETA publications. If this is not done, the matter will
be immediately placed into the hands of the NSWETA solicitors.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Wayne Sawyer

LOL! Yes - now that you've taken them off your web site, I am now going to go to them and pay them for their practice papers... PFFT!

I wonder what the "member-related" purposes are...

 

[dissonance]

ha, well our school put the standerds packages up on the schools intranet - so, hell I could have a look at em right now!

 

[Kristy]

wow, that's great

lazarus - is it possible to email parts of the cds to you? i'm not really sure how well that would work, but i'm sure we could work something out if you like?

 

[Lazarus]

I think the maximum email size I can receive is 5mb, which probably won't work too well.

What I can do, however, is set up an FTP account which you can use to upload the files directly to the website server - interested?

 

[Kristy]

sorry if this sounds silly, but i don't know what that means!

could you explain it please?

 

[Lazarus]

FTP stands for 'file transfer protocol'. It's what we use to transfer files from our computer to the server that hosts the website. You would need to download an FTP program (such as CuteFTP or LeapFTP). We'd provide you with a username and password so that you could login to our server and access a specific folder, and you could then upload any files from your computer to the website server.

I can give you more detailed instructions if you're willing.
