Perhaps a monkey writes the Success One answers? I recommend you download the official 2005 BOS "Notes from the Marking Centre" as their answers are very thoroughly checked, standards-referenced (the HSC system is "a standards-referenced framework", which is why you don't get your raw marks). Um...

Yes, of course it is. But judging by the emote I would say that you already know Titanic is rather sensationalised or, to put it better, melodramatic. That doesn't mean it doesn't have themes in it relevant to belonging. I say: use it if you know how to analyse well, but there are much easier...

Ultimo is a great college of TAFE. It offers almost all the courses you can't find at Baulkham Hills TAFE, e.g. Full-time Cert II in Animal Studies & Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing, both of which are required for a person to become qualified as a vet nurse (you can get exempted from studying the...

Ninety Percent, you are such a killjoy. I don't have anything against you but you piss me off for some strange reason... you are simply an obsessive perfectionist when it comes to academia/schooling... and that is not a healthy attitude to take in almost anyone's view...people should be able to...

Yes, it's a great resource. But McDonald's did NOT establish the site, they merely promoted it and funded it... maths teachers associations/professors created the site. It's a bit like Excel books, great for explaining the concepts, but hopeless for those high-marker questions (there just aren't...

Sorry, but if you really wanted to do it, you could have done it. Schools are not allowed to stop students from studying subjects, they can only RECOMMEND that students not do them. At Marian Catholic College (my school, Marian College Online) the Coordinators recommend students do a certain...

Now that I think about it, I agree that there is a 25%/75% split chance of Jack being colour blind. The flaw was in my working, not BRP's. I don't mean to be rude, but: have you considered that given textbook writers are human and make mistakes, Success One's answer is in all probability quite...

Yes, I am a Year 11 student, but I studied genetics for the School Certificate. What I did was draw the pedigree like yourself and then I allocated a genotype to the relevant people, ie Anne, John, Maria and Maria's husband. Your reasoning seems logic and you may very well be correct, but I...

I'll have to muse over this question - genetics is definitely the hardest part of biology! :) I'll edit this post to include the answer and my reason - once I've worked it out...

That's what I think a teacher of any subject should be like. I don't like those lazy unhelpful teachers who get to school at 9 am and leave straight on 3 pm ... they chose to teach so one would expect they enjoy helping people, not slacking off! I wish Mrs Lowery (my Year 10 maths teacher)...

I was happy with my SC results although I did not receive any band sixes, because they are not awarded for computing. My moderated + aligned (reported) marks were: English - 88 Science - 85 Maths - 86 Geography - 84 History - 86 Computing Skills - 91 I was disappointed that I didn't get a Band...

Agreed. The Year 11 course is lacking genetics which, in my opinion, makes it extremely inferior to the Year 12 course. That said, I believe the only good options available for study in the HSC course are Communication and Genetics. Biotechnology as an area of study interests me too, but I know...

Remember that the people who say such things tend not to study biology. These are people who study either physics, chemistry or both and hence think that they are smarter than biology students. I agree with you... I haven't started the course yet, but I have read through the textbook and pure...

Thank you for your opinion, but why do you say that? Are you just being a shit or do you have a good reason behind your opinion?

Does anyone else here have a back-up job they will do if they get sick of uni or the HSC/decide not to go to uni? I do...veterinary nursing. The training is two TAFE courses: Certificate II in Animal Studies (6 months FT) and Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (1 year FT) - the Cert IV...

WOW I have just been reading some of the uses of mathematics you guys have described ... and I never knew that math that seems irrelevant to everyday activity, has so many practical uses! I'm fascinated. I am a bit confused though! People seem to be arguing about whether or not certain equations...

That's funny! I can tell you now that the irony in that post was not deliberate, but lol! :)

In your posts you come across as a perfectionist. Do you by any chance have OCD? :D I would say that one could perform poorly academically in Year 11 yet it would still not be a waste. If you gain life experience during the year, despite having poor results, you have not wasted the year. It...

You may have trouble finding this book, but it's a great read and the protagonist (William Hardt, a lawyer) goes on an inner journey and a physical journey (to an island in the South Pacific, where he meets a pidgin-English-speaking, funny, interesting yet primitive society of people). It's...

Creating your own problem to solve takes more effort than just answering questions from a textbook. That's the point - that's why I enjoy it more. I can also create problems that relate to everyday activity or the physical world, which are distinct from contrived questions. I just think that a...
