    maths content retention..tips/techniques/strategies

    Alot of people here say that critical thinking is better than knowledge... Maybe. (Read the book "how to solve it" by Polya. Its basically a document that goes through the process of problem solving in general.) I like to use this metaphor when it comes to creative thinking and...

    How many words are your essays

    How can you be sure? Just take a look at the standards package.. How is it that people who write in all different sizes of writing, with VARYING abilities at being succinct all hit both the band 5/6 mark and the 7/8 page mark simultaneously? When the... Marker flips through the pages and...

    creative question- anything not allowed?

    Its... frowned... upon i guess but, it really depends if you can pull it off or not. I mean if you go in writing literotica with the intention to get the marker excited, then you'll probably get a low mark, (regardless of how excited the marker got lol) Though, if you include it subtly with...

    When will Australia have an atheist prime minister?

    Probably, it'd be funny if they realized he'd lied mid-way through his time. Or even if he made a public statement that he'd lost faith, i mean what is the public going to do? Religion is in decline, give it until 2025.

    maths content retention..tips/techniques/strategies

    Well being familiar with so much on memory and neuroscience i trust you've heard of spaced repetition? It works. What you want to do is learn a new concept, formula, rule, application, or what else have you... then repeat it, later that day (once), the next day, three days later, a week later...

    On the creativity of Creative writing

    BOS really can't do much. I mean, what're they going to do. "Stop right there mister!, word on the street is... there are stories on your thread!" Them all being related to belonging isn't really an underlying problem, any more than all the stories that people currently write are about...

    The Fiftieth Gate - History and Memory

    For me it had too little, suspense and didn't make me feel like anything bad was GOING to happen to the characters. Thus i never really had any connection with them, and really didn't care what had happened. But take the book Frankenstein on the other hand. The characters are always in danger...

    On the creativity of Creative writing

    Well as long as people don't post ENTIRE stories, just general plot lines, it should be fine. And besides, There's nothing wrong with a conference of ideas. The worst thing thatl'l happen is a few people will write about the same "premise" but their stories would be vastly different depending...

    Concavity..?

    What if the question asks, FIND ALL X for which a line is concave up. You go through the normal process yes.. f''(x) < 0 f''(x) = 12x(x-3) 12x(x-3) < 0 x < 3 and x < 0? But if x is less than three, its already less than 0!, The back of the book says that its meant to be x is greater than 0...
