I actually quite like the subject, but there not much to it. Its quite draining , involving formulae rather than fully understanding concepts. Something contrary to chemistry, and so it conflicts with the study patterns that I have, and gets very confusing. Plus, scaling isnt that amazing, so I would rather take Spesh (helps with methods too:))

It's not Physics which is the problem, its VCE Physics which is, it still annoys me that we had to count boxes instead of using proper calculus!!!!!!!!! -_-

EDIT: Really, they should have a look at the current physics course, a lot of it is just plugging numbers in, not proper physics, but then I suppose what can you really do when they restrict the required level of maths down....

I think that they should make you do methods to do physics, just like they do with specialist. That way, there would be no excuse not to include calculus in physics.

Did you just put maths and physics together for a moment there b^3?

Poor form mate :P

haha, yeah! counting boxes in 12th grade is ridiculous in my opinion. also, i personally find electronics extremely boring, would be so much better if it was replaced by E&M. i hope unit 4 is more interesting

Is Physics at VCE level really NOT Physics?

I know you can use calculus and all, at higher levels of Physics, but how different?! I don't know why all the hate.  ;)

EDIT: Thought I'd contribute by saying I wish I did Economics and Accounting in Year 11. Why? Because I did commerce (That was the name of the subject at my school) in year 10 and absolutely enjoyed it completely! Alas, It could not be offered.... :(
