2012: Which lecture company for legal, methods, eng or further?

[elle9]

Hi, im a year 12 student who's hoping that someone can recommend the best lecture companies for the following subjects:
>legal studies
>methods
>english
>further math

Btw, i know not all this is in the math and sci category, i just didnt know where else to place it

[meganrobyn]

I do the Legal one for CPAP, so in a shameless plug I can say that I work hard to make it really practical and useful!

Awww, yeah i was actually going to go to this lecture - heard good reviews about it:). Problem is the date...its on my birthday and so i wouldnt be able to go:$.
But thanks for replying:D

In my opinion:
Methods:
Derrick Ha
Connect

English:
VATE

Lectures for Enlgish are terrible in general. But FlorianK has bit the nail on the head on the maths ones

I'm prolly going Derrick Ha for Methods. In terms of English, go with VATE. I don't plan on it myself but I went to a VATE lecture for Lit last year and that was kinda fun, it was some really good discussion. Access looks like it might be really good too. The general English lectures are pretty useless but those that focus on specific texts can be useful.

I'm doing a day-long exam workshop for Legal with CPAP during the holidays. It's more expensive, but it's the full day. I'm not going to bother hyping it for you because I think a more sensible option for making your decision is seeing if you like my Legal posts here!

With the lectures, I know two out of the three lecturers giving the VCTA one, and as a colleague I can say I have a lot of respect for them and am confident they know what they're talking about.

In my opinion, Derrick Ha for any maths.

Thanks for replying, but on recommendations from teachers i went with:
Vate - english
Mav - my two maths

Although i might change the methods one depending...Does anyone know how MAV is (from a students perspective)? As well as whether i should continue with this or derrick ha?

Derrick Ha is the most superior for Methods imo.

Also, for legal -> VCE Legal Studies lecture: Expression of interest thread

Hey guys just wondering if it is worth it to buy the Derrick Ha book, i think it costs around $45. Or just go to the lecture and that is it ?

You pay books and lectures separately

Yeah I was wondering if we don't buy the book, maybe we would be at a disadvantage? On the site it's suggesting that you need to get it as it 'complements' the lecture. Hopefully that is not so
