hmm that sounds like chris dwyer? I saw him at the pathways education chem lecture. He was pretty good, he basically just went through questions. Although he didn't manage his time well, so he had to skip the last quarter of the lecture basically. Having said that, it'd still be worth it to go.

acess chem is like . this week isnt it?
a bit too late to get tickets.

Pathways lecture is on the 10th of October so there is still heaps of time to apply. And it would basically be the same lecture.. Their psych one is really really awesome though.

I'm considering going Pathways to do Chem (but omg the presenters for the Psych one are so appealing. Damn you time clashes.)

Just letting you know now that the second lecturer for chem is bloody hilarious. Like the funniest lecturer I've ever seen! You'll probably be laughing more than learning about chem haha.

to be completely honest
ive been to many lectures

access/tsfx/neap/engage/some "VCE" one / some lecture from the guy who wrote the psychology book / some other random chem one.

none of which where worth the time or money.

2.5 - 7 hours of nonsense

i HIGHLY DISCOURAGE anyone to go to engage ... srsly ur better of sitting at home watching ants have sex.. u will learn more about inheritance/genes ....

bio engage lecture was honestly biggest waste of time possible.

Are the VU very high quality or something? O_O Most people on VN are going to at least one VU lecture, haha.

Maybe just cos it's free and took about 5 seconds to sign up for 2198361293 lectures

I feel like I learnt more bio from watching this youtube video (SLUG SEX) last year than going to the Engage/VCEseminars bio lectures. SERIOUSLY IF YOU DO BIO WATCH THIS VIDEO... because it's cool, not too sure about it's actual usefulness for the exam.

VU are free. And honestly, their lecturers are actually very good.

Oh sweet, could anyone give me the link to the VU lectures? (Even though i'm only in year 11)

Thanks!

They're only for Unit 4.

I reccon that going to lectures is almost completely pointless, unless you're going there for the notes (which you can easily get off sites like this) or trying somehow to kickstart your revision (in which case the lectures are about two or three weeks too late)... it's stupid to think that a seven hour lecture can consolidate the ideas you learnt over one and a half semesters of school, it's impossible to go into enough detail in that time.

They're only really effective for people who haven't paid enough attention in class all year and want to salvage something for the exam (a category which most people on this site don't fall into) and the study tips they tell us all are things we either have already been told over and over again (if I’m told one more time how to interpret the words 'critically examine' I’m going to kill someone), or stuff which we have figured out ourselves.

Just what I think.... and my experience is rather narrow (and yes, I have forked out about $130 this year for lectures... just in case )

[chrisjb]

... I feel sufficiently vented.

Yes I completely agree LOL engage is so shit.

Complete waste of time. Methods lecturer was so bad, went so slowly and so many mistakes in the notes.

0.o I summarized Chem and Physics under 5 hours. I reckon that if you worked hard enough, you only need a single month to learn the entire Unit 4 for either subject, probably less.

Calm down, you're in year 11 dude.

i like to pretend that i'm doing the real vce year... it makes my life seem more important.
