Title: A Valid Suggestion?
Post by: Andy on December 20, 2007, 09:49:12 pm
Just thinking, would it be a good idea for past vce students to be able to post they're "words of wisdom" and share their experiences with people moving into the vce system  in a new thread? Just an idea :-\

I think that's a great idea, especially since so many FSNers have done so amazingly in VCE.
Us 08s can use all the advice we can get.

We should have a general one (on vce in general) and then sub ones for each individual subject

Another idea that has come to mind, a dedicated section could be created for people to upload their notes/revision papers for certain subjects. :D

That will come via a disparate system, i.e. people won't upload their notes to the forum but to a separate notes system, dedicated purely for that purpose.

disparate means not equal to. :P I think you meant "separate" or "stand-alone".

Yeah, it means 'dissimilar, unlike'. Therefore the notes system will be 'dissimilar, unlike' to the forums. Separate works too :P

when you say disparate system, do you mean rapidshare or somewhere similiar?. Sorry I'm not too knowledgable on these things :)

Also when will the "disparate system" come?

Obviously they can't say. But I'd think if it was rapidshare, it'd be available already. It's all hush-hush atm.

Sorry, disparate was probably the wrong word. I used it to indicate that we wouldn't be using the forums as a way of storing/retrieving notes but would have a separate system that better fulfills its purpose.

You'll hear more about this Notes system when we are closer to shipping it. If you have any feedback/suggestions regarding it, please email [email protected], we appreciate your input!

  I had the same idea :) 
I think it would be very helpful to have a sub-forum on
                                                                           -VCE in context -talk about alternative options for getting where you want to go, like "pathways" and some of the points in that wonderful post by Lilou on BOS
                                                                 -different ways to approach study, how much study           
                                                                              to do
                                                                   
                                                                 -ENTER optimisation [though there is somewhat of a                                     
                                                                          lack of consensus regarding this]  Include a plea to people to consider carefully all three Englishes before choosing.
                                                                  -the nuts and bolts of scores, truth about scaling, etc.

   I know there's the VCE section, but that's more general, and people might greatly benefit from a piece of information Coblin or another such well informed member might tell them
