I have strong disliking for Tasmania Jones

[Fluttershy]

Perhaps he supplies creative ideas to the exam writers, but doesn't actually participate in the actual exam question formulation? Like an adviser?

Also, you guys are getting too down on Tasmania. Personally, I admire his amazing luck (he always survives by the skin of his teeth, no matter how risky the venture- see the snake bite question, the savage insect question), his courage in attempting the seemingly impossible, his mathematical prowess (I mean seriously, the only way he could have survived that snake bite was to instantly calculate the optimal route through the jungle/beach MENTALLY- none of that CAS crap we mortals have to use), his huge compassion (building a desalination plant for a native community) and his entrepreneurship (starting a wheat farm- what a legend). Plus, he's famous (his sister is making statues of him to sell, no doubt to his eager legion of fans from across the state), yet he continues doing what he does best: adventuring around the globe in search of fortune and adventure.

TL;DR- Tasmania Jones is a top bloke.

Imagine one year Tasmania Jones really dies...everyone would be panicking because they think their calculations are wrong

That's interesting because I understood that teachers who write for the VCAA examinations are not allowed to be teaching or tutoring or lecturing in that subject in the same year.

May not be teaching yr12 methods perhaps?

I don't think the VCAA examinations thing is true, cause this teacher is currently teaching two year 12 Methods classes.

Anyone involved in teaching, tutoring or lecturing students or preparing practice exams in Units 3 and 4 of the same study is not eligible to be on an exam panel.

Also this document details some of the (pretty strict) requirements for being on the exam panel too: http://ssms.vic.edu.au/ASR_Link_Files/2013%20SETVET%20info%20kit%20v1.doc It's pretty interesting actually

I would suspect that it might have been something he did in previous years in that case.

Ooh I did not know that.
One of his sons is in my year level so I'll ask him tomorrow I guess.

Thanks

he's like the Chuck Norris of the methods world
