Bound Book

[meefz]

just a question,
would it be possible to bound a study guide to an A4 book of notes?

[slothpomba]

Possible? Yes

Allowed? Not sure... i think the book needs to have one spine only..

Specifications for bound reference

    The bound reference must be in book format of A4 size or smaller when closed.
    It must have a single horizontal or vertical spine.
    Pages must be permanently bound and securely attached to the spine.
    The number of pages is not specified.
    The bound reference may be:
        a textbook
        a securely bound lecture pad
        a permanently bound student-constructed set of notes without foldouts
        an exercise book with cloth, glue or staple binding.

Students are allowed to:

    annotate the material
    design their own written index
    fold pages
    cut page corners
    colour code pages
    insert dividers into their own sets of notes
    firmly attach (e.g. by glue, adhesive tape or staples) additional material to pages in the bound reference.*

The following are prohibited.

    Pages or parts of pages which can be detached from the bound reference during the exam
    Fold-outs, maps or brochure style components
    Removable tabs, post it notes or other items designed to be detached
    Forms of collation/ binding that are designed to be non-permanent. These include:
        ring-binder folders
        plastic A4 slips (permanent or removable) into which pages may be inserted or removed
        manila and similar folders with clip, clamp, slide and metal prong style binding of loose-leaf material
        glued lecture pads
        bound books that have perforations designed so as to allow pages to be detached.

If one or more pages can be or are detached from the rest of the bound reference, for whatever reason, or if the bound reference does not comply with the specifications above, the entire bound reference will be removed by the supervisor for the duration of the examination and the incident will be reported as a breach of rules.

thanks for that,
do you reckon it'd be okay if i glued the study guide in the A4 book then? (by glue, i mean via the hot glue gun)
that is one spine.

[slothpomba]

Well... i could claim its alrirght but that would only mislead you and i dont really want to get you in trouble, honestly, im not sure...

The best method would be to glue one ontop of the other and align the spines, rather than glue one inside the other but im not sure if this is considered a breech or not....

You could always email them... i'd print out and bring the email too just incase they decide to screw you over on the day... or ask a teacher... less official though

Yeah jacks from springvale, i find his notes easier to understand, the essentials book is really complex to me.
So i just go to office works and ask them to bind it? I would need to take out the staples first right?
Also, how much would it cost at officeworks?
And we're not allowed spiralled books right?

[kenhung123]

Why not spiralled books?

[LFTM]

Why not spiralled books?

That's just what a teacher at my school said. Not sure if that's correct.

[kenhung123]

which type you get?

[LFTM]

There's a type?

[kenhung123]

Several types of binding you can choose from yea.

i got the comb binding, it pretty much has a plastic spine. Didn't really care how it was binded, but comb binding turned out pretty well.
