I wouldn't call your Assumed Knowledge assignments stupid, as they give you a head start to the subject. You should appreciate them :p
My mistake, the way or tone it which i expressed my obselete opinion, was a bit stupid...I do appreciate them! That being said i still don't like them, mainly english and engineering, the rest i enjoy!

Also, if you don't want to trouble BoS members publicly, then PM one of us if we do any of your subjects. Seeing that I do Chemistry, both of your Maths, and English and I did do year 11 Biology please PM me, or else PM someone else. I'm sure many people would want to help you
Any who, I was trying to be modest but i am sure it wasn't troubling them anyway, as i'm aware folk on BoS tend to like the idea of helping others,THats THE IDEA OF BoS!

Thanks Pluvia

Our school didn't give out much homework amazingly... even during school term- the homework was always just do what you didn't get time to do during class, and 99% of the time the work could've been finished in class whilst eating/talking... so that never became a problem?

*shrugs* I know some schools give bucketloads of hw, but what's the point if the ppl doing it aren't in the mood? That's my reasoning anyway... although I think the point of not giving homework is it's meant to draw on one's initiative to do something (which for me meant- Let's go read BoS forums!).

Good luck in your HSC guys^^ Don't fret too much. It could be worse. And if any of you guys apply for cadetships remember to post it on the Employment forum!

having a heavy workload is so demotivating and such a joy killer esp. since it's the holidays.

i'd rather set my own task and goals throughout the holidays.

anyone agree?

yep i agree. basically i've been doing my own private study throughout the holidays as my teachers had set no homework for us (except for modern history). i feel much more relax doing it as i know i can do it at my own pace =]`

homework? why talk about it when you should be doing it x]

1. find related texts for english
2. read texts for english
3. a stack of 4u maths sheets
4. chapter 8 out of the yr 12 3u cambridge
5. summarise first 2 and a half chapters of economics
6. china research for economics
7. stack of sheets on topic 2 for business studies
8. chem dot point notes
9. past papers if I can get the time to look at (no, not my own work, teachers set this too)

I guess the point in giving us homework for the holidays was so that we won't get into the trap of not finishing the whole course. It's crazy sometimes how much stuff adds up to. You get a bit from each teacher and soon you've got so much stuff it's not funny.

I hope you have started, because that is a hell of alot of work to do there, and there's very little time till school starts again. How much have you done?
