TSFX Advertising

[Gloamglozer]

i notcied that after their lecture. like i didnt go but i checked a day or two after and then it was up. stilll. i was stressing

That's good.  I reckon they should really advertise that site more to Intense Workshop students though.  Not many students go on that site to check updates.

TSFX has the WORST advertising strategy!

My mailbox at home keeps getting junk mail from them... my email inbox gets double copies of their emails... AND I have told them I want to un-subscribe! :S

Their advertising is propaganda. Seriously.

Wow, that is disgusting. TSFX :thumbsdown:

Yes! I typed that in today, and it came up with TSFX. Witty indeed.

very cheap and extremely shifty


(to think that I went to their bio lectures...)

TSFX is not a great company. They should be ashamed:
- They teach outside of study designs
- They use scare tactics to lure students
- Their exams are not realistic nor do they have accurate answers.

About the only good thing to say about them is that some of their teachers may actually be decent and helpful. But, apart from that, there is not much. There is little respect for students in that company.

Do you have anything with which to base these allegations on?  Pretty serious allegations to make!

[werdna]

I very much agree with everything aleitu1 said. I went to a free TSFX lecture earlier this year, and I must say, I'm glad it was free because I would never pay for one of those lectures! I've signed up to TSFX's VCEdge purely for the English sample responses they have there... but that also means my email inbox AND home mailbox are constantly spammed with propaganda!

And cava, interesting first post... are you affiliated with TSFX at all?  From personal experience, people make allegations not only based on opinion, but also on fact.

tsfx should find out the person making the allegations and sue for damages

I emailed them to unsubscribe and haven't had an email since...

But I am still waiting for it to come

@Cambridge Agree. I have never been to their lectures but I have certainly received their free notes which were not helpful overall. I also got the impression that my friends that did the course were learning peripheral information that they never needed for the exam.

@googoo This is critical review, there are no false allegations.

Not a chance.

The writer could easily defend their case. The statements were made in good faith and were a fair comment on a matter of public and educational interest. The defence of justification could also be used in terms of the writer's first point - it is substantially true that TSFX teaches outside of the study designs prescribed by the VCAA. The defence of honest opinion could be used in regards to the writer's second and third points - these points were merely an expression of their opinion, not a statement of fact.

In my eyes, cava, the statements were in no way defamatory. They were written for the educational and moral interest of the VCENotes community. They are an expression of one's honest and truthful opinion only.

Same thing goes for a food critic. They are required to write honest reviews about their restaurant experiences, both good and bad, because this is the role they play.

aleitu1 was merely playing the role of a student, expressing his views on the matter to allow other members to be more informed about the TSFX company. Once again, the comments were NOT defamatory. I'm almost certain cava and googoo are from TSFX.
