You might have the missed the flagrantly large Matthew Reilly thread right below the one you posted. :) None of his books have Da Vinci in the title, it's possible you saw "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, which is one of the highest-selling books in Australian history, so if you trust public...

Not every school enters, though.

No, you don't have to mention it. Chances are that what your teacher has taught you has a lot of overlap with the material in the Source Booklet. As I posted previously, the point of the Source Booklet is just so you can look at some snippets without having to buy many books. If you can access...

I don't recall it ever being specified as mandatory. I think the idea is to give students the ability to access diverse historiographical opinions without having to buy 30 or 40 separate books. There's some pretty good material in there, however, so while I don't think it's compulsory, it would...

Most questions ask for two areas of debate. There may be more, but it hasn't happened so far. For both of those areas, you will have to present some differing views. You could use the same historians for both of the areas of debate (assuming they have their own opinions on a few different areas...

There are many more similarities between the books than that.

No, he said his exam mark was 85 - this isn't affected by the internal assessments at all. Perhaps he was a little overconfident in his estimate of 75-80 raw.

People should check the Chemistry resources section, there are a lot of good notes there which will answer simple factual questions like these.

"Assessing the effectiveness" refers to steps taken to combat ozone depletion itself, not the effects of ozone depletion. However, last year's extended response question was: so it is unlikely to appear again.

There are no official mandated requirements from the Board of Studies, so precedents from other schools won't help too much. But by all means argue to be let in, you have a right to do it - but you'd best be willing to stick with it all the way through.

Like bloody Keith Jenkins, I swear he intentionally makes it difficult to understand, not to mention coining new terminology every second sentence. :rolleyes: Also, I think you're likely to find that Extension History is not really too narrative-based, you'll be focusing more on the...

I got an email from the faculty office the night before HSC results came out (ie. two days before UAI's were released, though the universities may have already had them at this stage). I don't quite remember the text, but I'm pretty sure it said that I would be offered a scholarship if I...

I don't think so. I'm not convinced that men have enough specific problems that they need an officer. If discrimination against men was as common as discrimination against women, then we'd have a CEDAM to go with CEDAW. Anyway, since none of us are on the SRC, and won't be for at least...

By all means make suggestions for reforms to the EAG. Personally, despite the good work it has done, I think it needs some. But my point is that you haven't actually proposed anything substantive, you've just said we should rename it to be a committee, which is somehow supposed to magically...

They might be lying, but they always say that ranking for the Undergraduate Scholarships and Entry Awards is done beforehand, without consideration of UAI. Remember they have your trial HSC results, among other things, to assess your academic ability. You only have to achieve the minimum...

Way to dodge the issue. You haven't explained why guaranteed proportional representation is not OK for Union Board, but is a plausible option for SRC. You also didn't explain why the current system does not represent all undergraduate students. If Con students are really as disgruntled as you...

But that doesn't translate into 91.9% supporting VSU. If you're planning to trot out the same tired argument about "lack of interest in politics = I hate the SRC!", don't bother, you've made it before.

Sandra Britton is the Director of First Year Studies for Mathematics and Statistics. What do people think?

1. I don't see how Quah's idea of proportional representation for faculties is consistent with his opposition to affirmative action. I could throw back all your arguments: "Where do you draw the line? Do we start allocating representatives to Schools within faculties? To year groups within...

Where did you get these from?
