so who's doing it?

 

[hipsta_jess]

i did it last year

 

[freaking_out]

yep same here!

 

[Xayma]

Ill be doing it, I was looking through the textbook and I have covered the corrosion bit in Engineering Studies alread which means I have to sit through it again as the rest of the class tries to understand it.

 

[christ_ine]

Did it in 2001

 

[abdooooo!!!]

i've never heard of it... can't be that popular

Apparently it is one of the easier ones and with corrosion I can see why, please have a 6 marker on corrosion and protection from corrosion particularly concerning a steel ship (come on macrostructures of steel and anodic/cathodic intergranular corrosion)

yep, the most easiest- and also helps with the electrochem. stuff that u do in module 1.

 

[Xayma]

Yeah but how much corrosion do you go into detail with (ie intergranular corrosion, I know that it covers high stress areas which are very simple)

u don't go into that much detail- but u skim thru the different aspects of corrosion.

Corrosion stuff with zinc and aluminium .. and creating galvanic and electrolytic cells. I shouldn't remember this 3 years down the track

yeah, u shouldn't- unless u doing chem. @ Uni.

 

[christ_ine]

Haha, I did do Chemistry at uni straight after the HSC .. then transferred, lol. It's a hell of a lot different than creating galvanic and electrolytic cells I'll tell you

yep- i guess way different to the "essay writing" hsc course ei?

the easier it is the harder it is for you to get a good hsc mark.

because if everyone knows the stuff they're gonna find ways to take marks off you to seperate the candidates. they'll take marks of for trivial things like grammatical mistakes and sentence structures.

i still remember what my teacher said after the chem exam last year... he's like this is the easiest chem exam ever... i wouldn't be suprised if everyone scores in the high 90s.

then the heighest hsc mark was 97 LOL... im guessing the raw top mark was only around 90%.

na man- if its easy- then its easier to get higher marks!

well i correct myself by saying it is harder for the more abled student ie us, to get high marks relative to other idiots.

ahh...now u have a point- LoL

 

[abdooooo!!!]

so the lesson here is to pick the hardest option and hope that it will be a hard exam which tests some science logics rather than all simple straight foward syllabus dot points... which any rote learner can memorize... and if they're better at writing/bullcrapping than you... then you're gone in terms of hsc mark.

anyways- usually u don't have a choice as to what option u wanna do anyways!
