Title: Is anyone doing Systems here in ATARNotes?

If so, how are your projects coming along? My cohort (inc. me) hate our teacher because he is focusing more on exam theory than on our projects. Are your teachers following the same method, or are you people being given significant amount of time to complete your project firsthand and then worry about exams?

Also, I am curious to know what projects you might be doing.

Yes I am doing Systems Engineering 3&4

Pretty much most of the class has not started their projects due to being slack in class with the folio work
Our teacher has given us all of term 2 to work on the folio and the project. We did the sacs and theory in term 1

The projects people have thought about in our class is an LED Light Cube, Robotic Arm and thats all I can think of at the moment

Wouldn't this be a good thing since the exam is more important anyway?

The folio is worth more than the Exam
It's 50% Folio
20% Sacs and 30% Exam
So it would be wise to create a good folio

That's alright. We completed all our Unit 3 SAC's in Term 1 as well. The situation is much better now as most of my class are on their way to finishing the folio.

@sahil885 So, youse haven't started your production process yet?

I have began production on my systems project
I'm going to use the term break to get most of it built but the other's in my cohort are doing jack shit

Yeah, I understand you. It was the same case with folio's in my class. I think, I'm the only one who finished it in my cohort.
Which project did you decide on?
