    His Ext Major Work - 2013

    Just a question: Since many of you would have probably at least done your first draft, how many historians did you refer to? I was lucky enough to have picked a topic with countless of wonderful sources of all kinds (not only books but movies, interviews, poetry, plays, historical fiction etc)...

    Losing 10% if you stay home a day before an exam?

    My (public) school has no such official policy, but I have had a teacher who enforced it herself.I suppose all schools are different.

    How much comparison?

    Hi, just a question...to what extent do we have to compare our three texts in this module?

    Minimum 1500 words in 40 minutes

    Strange...at my school the word recommendations are usually 800-1100 words. The essays I write are normally more than that, so I go through an editing process to get close to that. The most I have written in 40 mins would be 1250. For the latest exam, someone I know wrote 1300 words and it took...

    HSC life

    School life itself is not that bad...I am just disillusioned with the whole process of marks and ATARs.

    what sort of chicks/guys do u HATE the MOST??

    AHAHAHAAHA thanks for poiting that out, intelligence* XD Ehh, I should really slow down when I type :/ Not sure about sluts though...there are paid jobs out there that provide such 'services', but it's not really about that. A person can sleep around however much they want, that's their...

    what sort of chicks/guys do u HATE the MOST??

    I am not very picky, these are typical and have probably already been said: Guys: -Those who think they are top shit because they've got 'swag'. -Just guys with low intelligence and bad manners. Girls (Qualities in friends) -Fake bitches who are nice to your face but say mean things behind...

    Henry VIII

    Noooo :( I really wanted to do Henry VIII and asked my teacher to reconsider several times, but he refused to let me do it. I got my topic now and everything so it's all good...I just wish I had looked into the syllabus and tried to argue my case.

    Abortion

    I do not believe there is one single answer to this. Each case has its own story and possible repercussions and it is futile to try and group everyone who has an abortion being either 'right' or 'wrong' by going ahead with it. At the end of the day, it is a deeply personal choice and as long as...

    Post your favourite TV show title sequences/themes.

    I doubt many people would have heard of my favorite shows at the moment: Muhteşem Yüzyıl (a Turkish drama) and BBC's The Paradise.

    Henry VIII

    Hi, I really wanted to do Henry VIII/Tudor era as well but my teacher said there was a problem with syllabus overlaps, as the Extension course has an Elizabeth I topic that deals heavily with the religious reforms of her father. You may have already addressed this issue but I am letting you know...

    Bad Teachers?

    I am lucky to get pretty good teachers overall. My Advanced English teacher actually 'had a chat' with people who were in the bottom 20 for the course...she must have been very persuasive because all of them ended up dropping to standard. There were 46 people in the course at the beginning of...

    His Ext Major Work - 2013

    I wouldn't say so... it is certainly an interesting one :) but I thought the project was marked internally so it did not matter whether it is commonly done state wise.

    Extension history major project

    Re: Extension history ...umm try looking on amazon.com for some good books. Read the reviews and if they are favorable try looking for them at your local library. Websites can be really unreliable and most are only good for finding your feet on the topic so to say.

    HIV disclosure

    It's one thing to be unaware of it...but any decent person who knows they have HIV should tell a potential partner. It could ruin a life, no-one would want something like that on their conscience.

    Running vs Block Writing

    The say that your handwriting is a reflection of your personality...and I would have to say that is accurate for me beacause I am quite indecisicive, even when it comes to my writing :( I can do both running writing and block letters, however I have been kind of using both for years. Now comming...

    Piano teacher for Music 2 & Music Extension

    Since there is no set curriculum for HSC music pracs (ie no specific requirements) pretty much any piano teacher should be able to help you. A simple internet search should help you find one in your area. Just make sure they have decent qualifications...

    I accidently didnt write what I was mean to "examination" column is that alright?

    Just wondering...why can't the markers know your name? Is it because of possible bias or something?? Just curious. In my opinion though, it should be fine. I seriously doubt they would discard you paper completely and just refuse to mark it because you wrote your name...that would be simply...
