Hey just wanted to ask whether the English lectures will cover specific texts or whether it will be more broad and about essay writing.

They won't be text-specific at all, so they'll be applicable no matter which texts you're studying! There might be some text-based examples, but you won't need to have studied particular books for them to make sense  :)

Just curious on what the LOTE lecture will be covering :)
Will it be aimed kinda towards second language students, teaching the best method to learn the language better and stuff like that
or towards first language students, more focused on what to talk about during the oral exam, etc.

The LOTE lecture will be for second language students (though you will still get something out of it if you're doing a first language; it's just that some of the advice for SACs and exam specifics won't apply to you!)

Other than that, it'll be full of tips for attaining and maintaining fluency for listening, reading, and writing in whatever language you're studying (French, Chinese, Turkish, anything!) Though I believe there'll be some sections based on speaking skills and oral SACs which won't be applicable for those doing Auslan or Ancient Greek etc.

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I can contact Aidan (our LOTE lecturer) and ask him! :)

Creepy Explanation
They know you visited the event page because they track your browsing - Since you looked at the page, the algorithm thinks you are highly likely to click a link for that event (if you didn't register, you were at least considering it), so they serve you the ad hoping to grab you.
Hope lectures go incredibly well VCE fam!! ;D

Hey guys,

just wanted to say a big thanks to Katherine and the whole ATAR Notes team!

I attended the biology lecture today and have come away so much more confident and prepared for this year.

Also, are the posters that were being given out free? If they are, would I be able to receive a copy since you ran out towards the end.

Thanks :)

Thankyou

I believe we've run out of posters now since we were just giving away the remainders that we had. We might look at doing more of these in the future though! :)

You should receive an email within the next week or so, and they'll be uploaded on the Notes section of the site. I'll make a post here just in case anyone doesn't get the email :)
