2010 Chem midyear - what did you think?

[appianway]

2009 Physics Unit 3 A+ cut off - 96%.
2009 Physics Unit 4 A+ cut off - 95%.

[kyzoo]

Seeing that the A+ cut off for Physics in last few years have been 90%+, I'm predicting this year will be just below 90%

They should make methods a prerequisite again, reintroduce calculus, add some DEPTH to the course (I want to facepalm every time I do an 'electromagnetism' question, only I can't, as my hand is used to twirl around my textbook whilst my mind remains unoccupied) and make the exams an actual test of knowledge.

[Stroodle]

i think A+ will be 90% +
A will be .. 80-90%
B+ 75-80
B 70-80

C+ ( average) about 65%

A+ is never above 90% no matter how easy the exam is, for science subjects anyway.

lol

when they give out the results in about 8 weeks time, will they just be letter grades?

I agree with this 100%
 all the stupid stuff about counting squares under a graph, using some bullcrap righthand slap rules etc etc just kills physics.

single letter with 2 blanks, for each subject that you have a mid year for.

WRT physics, is the maths really dumbed down for everyone to be capable or is it the expected stuff just not used much in exams?
I certainly know that looking at a few physics questions in the MTH1055 course freaks me out a little.

we get our results after school so that we wont be sad for the whole day at school

we had that last year as well, but you spend the whole day worrying anyway (although there are people who didn't know that results were out until they were told to go get their results)

Because of me, you guys are all getting a slightly higher rank.

You should all thank me.

I feel all warm and bubbly inside now that I have been aknowledged. (L)
