why english is compulsary (2 Viewers)

It's a compulsory course because those who made it compulsory are depressed.

IB?

Anyway, I think there should be a higher emphasis on creative writing or writing in form in HSC English instead of analysing texts...

IB?

international baccalaureate

And the research.. two three sources are not enough, try 20. It's not even good enough to just present that information well, your own (intelligent) input must be made, you have to challenge.

Its hard to explain, but HSC style essays just don't cut it at uni, they are not sophisticated enough, you don't get as many ideas through. You'll get a pass sure, but anything higher requires a lot more work.

EDIT: This is for history though, and history markers are fucking nazi's</SPAN>

I'm doing Creative Arts as a part of my double, and its exactly the same there too. My last essay (2000w) had 35 reference sources in it.

English is the art of bullshitting. You need to know how to bullshit when you go for job interviews.

if the OP is still around...

I would say for starters, English is compulsory in order to teach basic things like spelling and grammar.
