Mary Shelley is warning of the dangers of hettenistic scientific discovery. She does so by: - Portraying the disasters that befall Victor Frankenstein for his actions, having all his family members murdered and dying a slow, miserable death from pneumonia in the Arctic. Victor says,' Like the...

Something to do with the assassination of political leaders. At TSFX they suggested anything to do with the knifing of Kevin Rudd as PM for anyone doing Julius Caesar. I'm still looking for something specific.

We are lucky enough to have a teacher who gives us exam-style quizzes once a week. We make the most of them, we determine what we have problems with it, we spend a week correcting them in time for the next one. We also have two textbooks, but only use one at a time, often on weekends I'll do...

Consider this saying which we got lectured at our school in Term 4 last year: This'll be the last year of school. Make the most of it. You'll never have to study like this again, some opportunities you have you'll never get to experience again.

There is a limit to freedom when it infringes on the freedoms of others. I only have a problem with freedom of others to own guns when they infringe on the freedoms of others to be safe on the streets. I'm not saying all gun owners are those mass-murdering psychos but the psychos have to be...

I'm in a similar dilemma, I'm considering which one in 2014. At the moment I'm leaning towards USyd as - I'd be the 3rd generation in my family to attend (Although a couple of my family have gone to UNSW) - Easier to get to from my place - Although Commerce at UNSW may be better, to nowhere...

I used the Kite Runner and Groundhog day but after attending some TSFX lectures I'm reconsidering. Here is one of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fYhHtDvidQ (The Ultimate gift) (start at the 3 and a half minute mark). Another is the song lyrics to 'Cat's in the Cradle'. Another was the...

I've been over the last couple of days. I've found them quite good although perhaps only because I've only done English lectures and I've needed them. 2 hour lectures for each section of Paper 1. They offer other subjects but I think I don't need them for other subjects as I'm better off in them...

Apart from the fourth letter Frankenstein is boring until half-way through Volume I, then the whole of Volume II is boring but the 2nd half of Volume I and the whole of Volume III is anything but and once you get there you will enjoy reading it.

Commerce/Arts at UNSW. Projected ATAR based on my year 11 results is 88, so even if I don't get to 94-95 I can start with arts, do well at that for a year, and transfer into commerce 2nd year. Commerce may be better at UNSW than at USyd but from what I've seen, not to the same extent that arts...

I find the best way to know what verbs mean is to pretend for a moment you're not at school, you're perhaps just at home and you get asked to, for example, discuss something. That sort of thing. Then you apply what that means to the question at hand. Discuss is generally just talk about...

It's my third best subject behind SOR and General Maths. I got 84% in the first task (A 45 minute exam), 21 out of 25, which was alright. I've got a good class teacher and this term we had another teacher who ran additional learning sessions at lunch time. To study, I put everything into a grid...

You could but you would have to improve. In English you have 12 marks out of a possible 20 out of 200 (internal + external). It's better to lose marks now, in the tasks that have smaller weighting than later in the year in the tasks that weigh higher. And don't forget, it's not just about your...

From what I've seen in the last few years, it doesn't appear to matter what school one goes to. It's about the individual. But it'd probably be better to go to a lower ranked school with good teachers than to go to a high ranked school with poor teachers.

I had just 10-15% tasks on this term. I got: Studies of Religion: 100% (Viva-voce) Modern History: 76% (Section 1 of HSC paper) Business Studies: 84% (Exam) General Maths: 89% (Exam) Economics: 85% in first essay and then 80% in first in class quiz English: 50% (Speaking task) Aside from some...

Scots got one

Our school uses 'Business Studies in Action'. I use Cambridge as a secondary textbook. They're both long and complicated but at least we've got a good teacher and they have a lot of practice questions.

Usually current - as in the last year or last quarter, but it depends on what you need them for. If, for example, you're doing a practical Phillips Curve for the GFC you would need the figures from the GFC.

Pope John Paul II was socially conservative on bioethics. Here are a few quotes I found and my teacher has told me I could use in essays and could distinguish me from everyone else. "Man’s life comes from God: it is his image and imprint, as sharing in his breath of life. God therefore is the...

No but if it has to be they should at least: 1. Have it not count if it isn't a student's best 10 units OR 2. Not have it scale so much more compared to other subjects.
