My teacher has no idea yet, she normally does Forensic, but has decided that in the last few years the questions have been increasingly harder to get marks in.

I think it is between Industrial and Shipwrecks. I don't really have a personal preference, as I'm just happy we are doing Medical Physics in Physics :)

Whats so good about medical physics. I reckon astro would be so much better.

Medical Physics is good because I'm interested in it. I imagine that the reason you would think astro would be better, would be due to your interest.

Are there any interesting concepts/aspects in Medical Physics? (I havent even looked at that module online and its not in the text book [Not in jacaranda])

I personally find the entire topic to be extramly interesting. Main concepts are as follows:

- The use of ultrasound in medicine
- Electromagnetic radiation as a diagnostic tool
- Radioactivity as a diagnostic tool
- Magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool

I am especially looking foreward to learning about blood flow, as well as ultrasounds and X-rays. =)

Doesnt seem all that hard as you learn about Radioactivity as a diagnostic tool and what not in the nuclear chem module in Production of material

How come so many people doing shitwrecks? I thought that Industrial was the most common.

Industrial is probably more common in a bigger census ....

this is only a forum and 10 people voted for Shipwreck... doesn't mean it's more common than Industrial

Where did you get that information from? I am actually curious to know.

My teacher's leaning towards Industrial. The biologists in our class want Biochemistry though. I'll cry if we do Biochemistry.

My teacher usually does Shipwrecks, but due to popular demand we've switched to forensics =/

We're doing astro before we do space, more time tor revise as space is an easy chapter. But trust me, i love actual astrophysics, but the HSC syllabus for astro is so incredibly boring, Medical and Quanta to Quarks are both WAY more interesting
