Who only does Ext 1 to do Ext 2? (1 Viewer)

[orange_blob]

Just been wondering, How many of you wouldn't do the ext 1 course if it wasn't required for you to do ext 2?

I certainly wouldn't.

 

[vicburke]

I did my HSC two years ago and did Ext 2 and I would say I would still do Ext 1 if you had a choice. We did crime fiction - and i really enjoyed it and did really well...

I voted "no" based on the fact that that's how I felt in my HSC year.

However since I've been at Uni, I've greatly appreciated EE1 - the work it did to develop my essay-writing skills (which were subsequently super-developed at Uni level yet again, and still going) came in much handy. Plus it helped my UAI

I wouldn't do it if i had the choice and there was something better i wanted to do.

I do well at Advanced and so far am doing super-well at extn 2, but there is something lacking in my extn 1 skills.

I really did Ext 1, Ext 2 (and Advanced for that matter) because it gave me the chance to do more of my favourite subject - english. I know that given the chance I would have at least attempted Comparative Literature to make it to 6 units of english if I could, regardless of the advisability. When I look back, that view hasn't really changed that much because I've found things to enjoy and value from each of the English courses and my enjoyment of Ext 1 and Ext 2 varied so that from week to week it was either one or the other that was my favourite course.

Extension 1 is a cunt of a course. Although I am alright at it (80's range with minimal effort) but the questions are always tricky and can be totally fucked up. I like extension two better cause I can control what I am doing and work more to my interests.
So no, I would definately not do Ext 1 if I didn't have to.

Extension 1 is my least favorite of the Englishes, with extension 2 being the best. I didn't do ext because I thought ext 2 would be better though, but I'm glad I did.

Let us not speak of the heathen-ness that is Eng Adv

 

[luscious-llama]

I'd never do Advanced English as it bores me to tears...
I LOVE EXTENSION 1!!!

 

[Clarebare]

I hate advanced eng, and i love ext 1 - even though we're doing postmodernism.

ext 2 makes my head hurt, and i'm really worried about it, but i'm enjoying the course

 

[The Card Cheat]

Adv. English is horrible, except of course at the moment, as we get to watch Mel Gibson in Hamlet. Beautiful.

Ext. 1 is good when our teacher actually gives us a lesson. Which hasn't been once this year.

I like Ext. 2..

To answer your question, I don't.

haha so true. whenever i hear the word 'journey' i get a sudden headache...plus traumatic memories of the modules exam which i didn't even finish!

 

[Trillium]

eugh. Ext 1 is evil. Crime fiction is fast becoming a hated genre. blahhhh.
I love ext 2. Two hours of chocolate cake and story writing.

 

[sweetish]

KILL CRIME FICTION!!! the only obstacle to doin 4u..

 

[benjams]

Oh wow! I agree - killl crime fiction lol - its getting slowly over-rated and add to the fact that my teacher's teaching seems to have degraded over the last year- i was really enjoying it last year - yeap even heart of darkness but now i hate it! which is upsetting....though adv and ee2 is great cos i have teachers who heart the subjects which is awesome....

 

[luscious-llama]

Not half as much as I love you.

ahahaha.

 

[Enlightened_One]

I didn't really like Ext 1 much (because I'm inherently lazy), so if I'd had the choice of not being able to do it then I wouldn't have. However, I actually dropped two classes so I would have needed Ext 1 just for that and I suppose I would have picked it. But I voted no.
However, now that I am at uni I really appreciate Ext 1 (even if the topic was terrible) because it introduces you to the relevant skills for things such as most arts (and law I suppose).

 

[passion89]

I voted yes

If I had the choice, I definately would pick ext 1 - I like the course.

 

[pungemo]

I have to agree with passion89, extension 1 english can get pretty complicated, and at times boring, but overall I think it's a good course. Shame my english ability seems to have disappeared this year
