Yeah well I am an electronic and robotic enthusiasts and i was thinking of making something that reflected my passions and hobbies, so something electronic/robotic. Do you think that would go well for a major work?

Any other opinions?

yeah but isnt it better to hit year 12 knowing your exact plan of attack. Plus keeping a subject (and trialing it out) for the first term will just lower the potential marks in other subjects since time is marks essentially

anymore thoughts?? need to decide tonight... still undecided. Got my mark back for prelim chem i got 76 which was my lowest mark for DT i got 94..... I dunno so confused............... however i was ranked 10/40 for chem which isnt bad

Im kinda just trying it out. I might drop throughout the year if im not enjoying it. The reason why I picked it up was because I did really well in history for pre-lims and ive got probably the best teacher in the state. So i dunno seemed like a good idea

Yeah true. That's kinda how i felt in Chem this year for year 11, it was such a trek mainly because of teacher and the content (compared to physics it was awful). What's your opinion on D.T scaling? Are you doing D.T this year?

Thanks for the replies... Still undecided.. From what i've researched (looking at the UAC scaling table A3) Getting in the 99th percentile for D.T (top 1%) is the same as getting in the 90th percentile for chem.... That seems really hard......

Ancient is one of my best subjects (coming 2nd). Plus i enjoy it so bad idea to drop it.

Unfortunately I need to drop one since im doing 14 units - Maths 3 Unit (2 units accelerated) - Physics - Chem - Ancient History - Extension History - Design and Tech - English Advanced So i need to drop one. 14 is a killer. Plus if i drop one ill only be doing 10 units in year 12 since...

Yeah but im ranked 1st in D.T....... And i've got a terrible teacher for chem...

Why? Could you please elaborate

Please help! I am going into year 12 next term and I need to decide whether or not i want to drop Design and technology or Chemistry. For pre-lim D.T I ranked 1st out of about 21 boys For chemistry i ranked in the top 10. I really don't know what to do. One of my biggest concerns with...

I beg to differ. The teacher is the communicator of the subject. If the subject's content is being communicated in a boring and unexciting manner then the students are obviously going to dread the subject and not enjoy their experience, thus not enjoy the content.

Update post! I eventually chose Ancient, I've now been doing ancient for almost 3 terms and I am loving it. So glad I picked ancient over modern since I hear that a lot of the modern classes are dreading every period, while we Ancient guys are loving every second of our class. I guess it just...

That's exactly right... but I'm already doing hard subjects and this is more of a backup subject than anything since I'm doing 13 units...tbh ancient seems really interesting in year 12 but year 11 seems (and has been so far) quite boring.... Whereas Modern seems better throughout year 11 and...

Modern seems more interesting but isn't it harder than Ancient or is this a misconception I have? I've heard that Modern requires more essay writing than Ancient (atleast in the final HSC exam).

Ancient Vs Modern....... Need opinions (I'm in year 11) - difficulty? - Content Content At my school: Ancient (Year 11): - Troy and Schliemann, Caesarea, Acts of the Apostles - Cicero, Pliny the Younger - Ancient Alexandria Year (12) - Pompeii Herculaneum (Core study) - Spartan Society to...

I usually create a word document containing all of the features of the novel or play that you are studying, throughout the reading of the play i jot down notes and them compile them into one big document. I usually include things like; Characterisation, Symbols and motifs and quotes. I find it...

I am in year 11 and I am not sure whether or not I've made the right decision, I recently changed from Ancient History to Business studies on the basis that it will be more useful and the fact that my school goes really well at the subject. So based of your opinion which subject is better...

Seeing as though u did both business and history what would you recommend?
