what do u think about the syllabus? (1 Viewer)

what do u think about the current syllabus used in sciences (esp. physics) in NSW?

i know this is prob. a really old question but im just impressed by the BOS. about how they can make a phy exam like a history and english one without having people's objection for 8 years...

anywayz plz post ur thoughs..
im not really good in explaning things and im not good at it as well.
but i'd say although im good in it now i dont like it at all.. with reasons found in the pdfs below.. and im not going to type them up..
also im not going to go into great detail about what "real physics" differ from HSC "physics".
but if u r interested please read the pdfs below.
they are written by professional from UNSW and hence should have more rights about the issue than me..

I don't mind it. I think it's a good course. But as is the case with most BOS courses, there is room for improvement.

Well they have a lot of the content there, and I think the topics they teach are good, but I do think the history and social studies parts should be scraped, and they should put more maths in.

note: all those articles are from the same uni, same person (not several people or uni's)
