Yeah I think I've had the best Bio teacher this year. It shows too, his classes beat all the other classes in our school.
So cheers to Mr Matheson!

We have 2 classes. Both teachers are really nice (mostly) and know their stuff, but they aren't the best teachers. Mine covers a reasonable depth, but leaves things out. The other covers everything, but skims it all. In yr11 (inc term4) we had the most legend teacher, where every class FELT like a bludge, but you came away knowing everything! But then he had to go and retire...
So yeah, could have done better, but didn't do badly.

127, thats a shit load, our year was considered one of the biggest and we only just break thirty, the majority of my classes have four people in them (I don't do bio btw, yr 10 put me off it, physics is much better :)) Sry about posting in a subject I don't do but I could not resist (I have friends who do bio).

I'm from Belmont High School, my biology teacher is fantastic. She has taught the course for a rather long time and is very familiar with it, not to mention exceptionally efficient . Woot Mrs Filby! Very inspiring woman.

hey i got a grand total of 4 in my bio class - that's for the whole year (we only have one class in yr 12 of 26 ppl). The teacher just flies through the syllabus and we end up not knowing about half of what we're doing.

Well, let me add Noor Al Houda Islamic College and myself to the "small classes list":
My eng class is 12 too, our biology class has 7, so its not the smallest here, but physics, chemistry and 3u maths all have 4 students in them.

bearing in mind that the year 12s are all up 19 students, i guess 4 in a class would be expected, especially for those 3.

oops, i think i went off topic! ok my biology teacher, Mrs. Mathur did a heck of a good job considering the shit we put her through (late to class, ect.), but any kid could tell that she'd be teaching us over the young 'uns any day. she also happens to be our chemistry teacher (our bio teacher left at the beginning of year 12, so we were kinda thrust upon this teacher), so i manage to see her sometimes for 4 classes in a day.

Mrs. Mathur, you rock (hopefully it's the same for chem...)

My teacher, at Asquith Boys High School, is Vadi Thamarajah. She gave us so many hard tests in our two years of Biology, especially this year in preperation for the HSC. If you could actually understand her, she was a great teacher. Thanks Mrs V, I owe you.
*thankful he didnt spend too long studying for an exam that didnt test most of the syllabus*

KCAHS - about 20 in our bio class.. we had an excellent teacher in year 11 and we also had him for the 1st term in year 12.. then he took long service leave >_< and we got another excellent teacher who would grind the info into our heads.... she would kill about 20 trees every lesson 2 photocopy notes and print stuff out.. i have a pile about 30cm thick of notes she gave us.... (i'm gonna burn em good :D ) and all the notes were just extra info... bloody hell.... it all paid off though :)
