Sup yo.
My school is doing 'Materials and their use in structures'.
Other choices were:
- Relativity
- Further Electronics.
M&S is quite dry in my opinion, wish we had done relativity, looks really interesting. Also I HATE electricity
How about you all?
-
Pretty sure my class is doing further electronics cos you know, the teacher teaches electronics too -_-
-
From memory my class will be doing relativity, though don't hold me against that lol.
-
unit 3 - materials and structures (i think it might be interesting as it seems quite practical e.g you can relate it to the physics involved in building bridges and tension required to support a certain mass)
-
Materials and their use in structures :(
-
We're doing relativity! looks pretty interesting.
What's 'Materials and their use in structures' about?
-
~80% of the state do S&M.
All the cool people do electronics though, even if their school does S&M.
-
Wish I did 'relativity'... S&M sucks
-
Do relativity in your own time, I did it on schoolies!!!... (it's kind of cool i guess, frames of reference is boring...)
I preferred Structures and Materials, just master things like torque, elastic limit, strain energy etc and you're set. (Most of these can be summarized on 1 or 2 graphs that have arrows pointing to shaded regions etc I'll try and find the digital copy of my cheat sheet to show you what I did.)
-
I was initally hung up when we had to do materials and structures, but it isnt honestly that bad, i actually enjoyed the problems involving torque.
-
we are doing materials and structures.
-
Relativity :D (H)
-
S&M... So wanted to do relativity... But in my own spare time, maybe I can just have a read over it :D
-
S&M... So wanted to do relativity...
+1, damn my n00b physics dep!

Dont worry, at the end of day structures and mats is easier, essentially every quesiton in it is free marks, much the same as sound (although i would say that in 2010 sound was moderately harder than materials and structures.

According to my teacher, most of the state teachers choose S&M because it is the easiest and the other 2 topics were introduced after S&M hence S&M having more questions on past exams as well as the topic being easier to understand and answer. But this might be a disadvantage though.
-
My school is doing further electronics... any possible way to do M&S instead since it's much easier?

Of course, on the exam you can do any section you want to! The school just teaches one (usually only one), but its your choice to which one you want to do on the exam.

Oh, but then I would still have to do the further electronics sacs don't I?

Yes, that's the downside

Going to try and convince her to change to M&S then since we have a weak cohort.
-
I'm doing materials but wanna do relativity as it is way more interesting
-
My school did structures last year; what I did was learn both relativity and structures and do both in practice exams. That way you essentially do both completely. Then before the exam you decide which area you're more confident in, and in the exam if you are not going to be short on time, have a look at both of the sections and make a final decision.
I ended up just doing structures in the exam anyway. But yeah, relativity is definitely interesting.

I was thinking of doing that but then thats extra work lol.
