I would just like to say that I have almost finished writing "A brief guide to 3/4 systems engineering" and it will be uploaded within the next week.

This is definitely an area in need of resources - thank you in advance for your contribution :)

BUMP.
The best thing about ATAR Notes, as I see it, is that it's bigger than the sum of its parts.

ATAR Notes isn't Brenden. ATAR Notes isn't MisterNeo. ATAR Notes isn't dancing phalanges. But it is all of them. ATAR Notes is much broader than any one individual; for ten years, people have come and gone, and ATAR Notes in essence has stayed the same.

A tangent on why I love ATAR Notes, which is relevant to the belowWe work hard to make things easier for others, and that's why I love ATAR Notes so much. But it can be daunting at first, particularly if you've joined recently. You'll see these members with thousands of posts each. They all seem to know one another. At least, that's how it felt for me.

I really want to emphasise that ATAR Notes is a family. As soon as you join, you're part of that family. Whether you have zero posts or 10,000+, you're a family member, and are extremely valued here.

Once you start getting more involved with the AN community, your love for it will only grow. One or two posts leads to several more. Put together a few solid weeks of posting and you might even be recognised in the Member of the Month Awards. This year alone, we've recognised some amazing contributors to the community: kiwiberry, Shadowxo, rodero, Syndicate, sssona09, cookiedream, MisterNeo, Quantum44, Wales, zhen. And the exciting is, there'll be many more to come.

Some of the aforementioned users are now moderators of the forums. Already.

And who knows where that will lead? Brenden, Lauren, me. We all started posting on the forums; we all now work full time for ATAR Notes.

ANYWAY, I promise you this post does have an actual purpose related to the above.The reason I say the above is this:

It's easy to not get involved because you don't feel it's your place. But there's nothing we love more than seeing AN members take the initiative. That's why ATAR Notes is so great; people just take it upon themselves to improve the community.

This thread here is a call to action. If you're passionate about a particular subject or part of the forum, list here how you're going to improve it further. For example:

VCE Texts & Traditions is grossly under-resourced at the moment. Heidi's done a great job in the last few years with some amazing threads but, mostly, activity is low. So rachid.kam (a current T&Ter) took it upon themselves to write this article here on how to well in the subject. Fucking amazing, and highly appreciated.

Isaac's HSC Business Studies report thread. FallingStar's VCE Geography resources thread. Coffee's VCE Philosophy questions thread. Susie's HSC Drama essays thread. This is what makes ATAR Notes what it is.

Does this have to be for smaller subjects? No - not at all! Get a load of Sine's recent VCE Methods/Spesh exam advice thread to see how appreciated stuff like this is. This has had more than 1,000 views in less than a week!

These examples are all long posts, but they needn't be. Literally any post helps. If you see a question, answer it. If you have a question, ask it. It doesn't take much to become more involved. :))

SO:

In this thread, let us know how you're going to contribute to the forums, whether that be VCE/HSC-related, uni-related, or something entire unrelated to academics. :)

I would love to help out future students in the Selective School threads. I feel that the selective school tests in itself are very vague, in terms of content and difficulty. Because of that, experiences of past students is invaluable and can't really be learned or taught. For me personally, these forums were especially helpful in the selective schools exam preparation and I would love to pass on the experience and knowledge gained from that. :)

I'm currently doing Biology 1/2, and when I start 3/4 next year, I would also love to help out in that subject. Just looking to contribute in any way I can! :D
