Cmon megacities!

That's a fair shout.

I always found megacities an enjoyable component of the HSC course.

 

[rabbitohs123]

Cmon megacities!

yes!! there's only limited questions about this topic aswell

 

[dmun7]

Which ecosystems question is most likely

 

[lani22]

hoping for a megacities extended response as well, there hasn't been one since 2006 I think

 

[morts]

i predict a question about dirt

 

[desouzam12]

what case studies are you doing for ecosystems??

 

[rabbitohs123]

what case studies are you doing for ecosystems??

Intertidal wetlands & coastal dunes, you?

The syllabus says we need "a case study of 1 of the urban dynamics operating in a country town or suburb" - does this mean they cant ask for 2 in an extendo response?

 

[ILOVEOLDCAMERAS]

yes its only the one case study

 

[asadass]

I reckon another essay will be based on a local economic enterprise

 

[B3A13]

t'will be on megacities for sure.

 

[rabbitohs123]

t'will be on megacities for sure.

how can you sayyyy thisssss? Is it because there hasn't been one for years?

Hoping that biophysical interactions comes up in extended response

 

[B3A13]

Yes, and because it was in my trial which makes me think it will be similar to the hsc. (not betting on it though)
There is not that much to learn for it.
I'd be happy if it was.

 

[rabbitohs123]

Which ecosystems question is most likely

I'm guessing (hoping) biophysical interactions, hasnt been there since 02

 

[EvansOne]

Megacities on its own hasn't come up since 2003, combined with the fact that world cities has come up in 2 of the past 3 years, it's looking good. So I'd say definitely not world cities, 75% megacities and maybe 20% something like "Explain the relationships between the urban dynamics and the changing economic character of a large city in the developed world", because they've basically asked the same urban dynamics questions over and over.

Biophysical interactions hasnt come up since 02 either

What would you mention for the "relationship between urban dynamics & the changing economic character"?

I was just wondering for the extended responses did your teacher tell you to draw brief maps of case studies and diagrams of certain things for example a coral polyp or a push flush toilet?

 

[soloooooo]

I wouldn't draw such diagrams in an essay [unless you are literally out of time with 5 minutes left and have not written anything for the essay etc].
