Re: Semester 1 2012 Timetables! That's a pretty intense switch, but good on you! yeh uni lecturing would probably need at least a postgrad degree plus teaching experience, so that's a really long way off but who knows? maybe one day! I'm a bit keen for English, it sounded really...

Don't know yet, probably high school to begin with but maybe uni later on! Are you switching over to a BA/BEd???

(anyway, no one doing English at UNSW this year? come on :( ) I'm doing English! I want to teach too :)

ATAR calculators were way off for me - one predicted 93.40 and another 97.25. Then I got 99.15 and it was the shock of my life :)

If you're still around on this thread and considering using your songs - DON'T DO IT!!!! Songs are not good related texts. They lack the depth and complexity other texts have. If you are desperate for new related texts use a poem (Oogeroo Nunuccal or Seamus Heaney are particularly good) or a...

A speech is not an essay - these text types have several crucial differences. If one of the papers asks for a speech: Firstly, pay close attention to the question, especially regarding the PURPOSE of the speech and your AUDIENCE. What you write for an "audience of your peers" will be...

I record my study notes on Audacity, load onto ipod and listen to them. Actually, best way for me is to listen to my notes, read notes and say out loud all at the same time. I do this for essays and lists of thesis statements too. also, i have stuck study notes all over my room so i read them...

is it weird to go to open days by yourself??? i want to go to unsw's this saturday, but everyone from my school just goes to macquarie because unsw is too far. therefore, i will most likely be a loner. is this going to be weird, or will it be fun and an opportunity to meet heaps of people??

feeling out of place with all the crazy atar aims and people wanting to do med/law/engineering, but i want to teach :) 1. B Arts/B Education (Secondary - Humanities) at UNSW 2. B Arts UNSW 3. B Ed (Secondary - Humanities)/B Arts at Sydney Uni 4. B Arts Sydney Uni 5. B Arts/Dip Ed at...

is this elective under 'texts and ways of thinking'? i do romanticism for english ext, so i'm going off history ext here... something about how there is no such thing as a single, objective truth??? that each individual carries their own truths, developed as a result of their context...

i'd avoid all of it, to be honest. if you must, blow your nose a lot beforehand and take your painkillers before you get into the exam room etc. We were not allowed water bottles at all, but exam supervisers had jug of water and cups in case anyone was feeling faint. Skip the hot pack/cushion -...

start taking vitamins, gargle with saltwater (disgusting, but it works), drink hot water with lemon and honey, try to talk as little as possible, go to the doctor if you haven't already and get antibiotics for the ear. don't eat scratchy foods like toast; stick to soft foods that will not...

Re: CSSA Ancient History... ancient is normally my favourite subject....but i died. cssa papers are screwed up in the head. wtf was with pompeii multiple choice - household gods???? where's the basilica???

i thought the questions were fair and really good - yay no weird feature articles or any other abnormal text types! mod A i don't think i really answered the question because i wrote way more on Austen than Weldon, but Mod B and C were okay (fingers crossed) :)

You cannot simply go into an exam with such a limited and basic range of literary techniques, it just won't be a stong evaluative/critical response. You need to analyse each of your texts in depth, picking up on a wide range of literary/poetic/filmic devices which shape meaning, then go on to...

have no idea about short films, but in terms of poems you could do a WWI poem (like by Wilfred Owens etc - if you do modern this could link into that as well) or perhaps Seamus Heaney (irish poet - writes about irish history and nationalism) or Yeats for that matter (just not the poems set as...

heyy hatshepsut is like my favourite topic ever, so i have lots of notes etc :) i just don't know how to link them here/upload them - i'm technologically challenged to say the least... have you checked the resources section? there's loads on hatshepsut and i'm going to try uploading stuff...

Scaling is a lie. do what you want to do and what youre good at, and the marks will follow..i personally reckon that you need more balance in terms of subjects, but nobody knows you like you know yourself, so do what's best for you.

We had a 5 hour subject selections talk this morning and all i can say is that scaling is a myth!! apparently they changed the scaling procedure in about 2003 or 2004 and so it doesn't work like that anymore. do what you love and what your good at and what you want to do, not what supposedly...
