I think everyone has forgotten all about it.

Probably turned their attention to the long sleep-ins and late nights of the holidays :)

How do you order your Statement of Marks?

can you pay by credit card? and is it too late to order it? and if you order it when do they send statement of marks to you :)

EDIT: Oh and for ethylene q. apparently they accepted both ABA and ethylene as an answer. and my tutor sed that with the placebo q. apperently there was a disagreement of something on that q.s because the psych students learnt about it and most of them would have got it right which put non-psych students in a disadvantage - HOW UNFAIR IS THAT  >:(

Good luck! :)

@Herc: It's not too late (too early more like it..) ; they will send it to you beginning the week aug8.

rofl. the amount of complaints by bio kids about this is insane. But of course you're right.

Any (good) psych student would have ripped off the word-to-word definition:

"A placebo is a fake treatment used as a control condition in experiments to counter the effects of participants knowing they have taken something."

Merged double post.

Any good biology student should know it as well, it's a pretty fundamental element of the scientific method

Yeah, I 100% agree.  It is something very basic which you all should have learnt in experimental design.  It is practically the control group, which they put a huge emphasis on in VCE biology.
