i was actually going to say the same to you when you told that other person they were being disrespectful. But my computer is being weird and i cant see the buttons so i cant seem to quote comments -.-Im sorry, im not picking on you or anything. But your post does show that the question asked was ambiguous. Until now, no one can be sure what BOS wanted in that question and what exactly do we include in it. So exactly, how are students, under stressed, a time limit supposed to answer it?
hmm, my opinion is slowly being turned by all your arguements. i guess that seeing as my school found it great, i didnt get that it might of actually been horrible. ill agree completely that the question Were ambiguous, but i also dont think that the BOS was wrong to do it, because i also think that it was a good way to test how we can apply our knowledge. but maybe...(and this is where you all have made me double guess my own opinion) that "test" was a bit aof a far leap, if you get me?
ok, you got me there, i shouldnt have said those things (mainly because they make my real point moot...dam me) blame it on a fit of rage id advise.When were we told not to learn about muhammad? (not attack, curious is all). But the way i interpreted the question you didnt need to know anything about him (other than, obviously, the fact that he is Prophet and makes lovely revelations). And i think thats a bit paranoid, the BOS intentionally trying ot screw us over?? they dont exactly sit in their offices going "hmm, how can we f*ck up our next generation this year? *evil rubbing of hands and twirling of moustaches*" gah, i think debating this has become rather pointless. fact is we all have dif opinions on this issue, and it definetly cannot be resolved until the bOS marks the exams or puts out a VERY detailed explanation.
Don't take this as a personal attack or anything, but the prophet Muhammed is on the syllabus, it's the second dotpoint of the preliminary section. Although it's not on the Year 12 section, the preliminary course is assumed knowledge. However, I do agree that the Board of Studies did attempt to trick students, however I think they've technically done nothing wrong.
yes I totally agree once again. They can ask wateva they want.... but make it clear.... the questions were confusing as to what they exactly wanted us to answer. They're gonna have to do something about it, my response was absoulte horror.
Fair enough. What I think the Board will end up doing is mark it how they want it and align the marks up afterwards. So if you were able to answer the question to a pretty good standard, I think you've got it pretty good. Also I agree, Christianity and Islam had bad questions. I chose the Buddhist question though, it was slightly more straight forward.
That is not true. You cannot contact the helpline about a subject when the exam is over.
lol. Even though I didnt state the englsih helpline thing. The english exam is still not over for some people... there's still extension I and II, so people can still contact
my english tutor, was assisting the helpline for the preparation of english paper 2 on Thursday night which is after the SOR exam. Hence students were calling into the english line, supposed to be for english asking about religion, desperate for answers
Maybe because it WASN'T about all the topics. It had nothing to do with the significant person. It was based on Ethics and/OR Significant Practices, hence the vague question was so people would make their own interpretations which many people are seemingly incapable of.
I'v said this before but, people themselves are not to blame.
Yeah, their probably not going to count your section III. Which might not be as big of a loss as it normally would've been any other year.
