distance education

[hard]

wait i don't get something. With distance education, do you use the same text book as everyone else or do you get something different? if so why's that?

They prescribe a standard VCE text book (for example, Nelson or whatever), and you use it in conjunction with the course book/activity book they create (think of the course book as your teacher). Your course book contains information and activities (they will ask you to do questions, activities, essays etc), and it will instruct you when to refer to your external VCE text book. For example: "Please read pages 45-49 of your text book before completing the following tasks".

Definitely check these out, it will help you understand the way distance ed is structured. It is hard to get your head around at first.

thanks for that.

In Distance Ed, you get a course booklet which you read over and complete work from. The course booklet will tell you what parts of the book you need to read

Each week you complete work and give to your teacher or whoever, who then sends off to distance ed.   Maybe a week or 2 later, you'll get your work back.

That's how it's done. Oh, you may also have to attend seminars (because I did lol) at the Distance Ed centre midyear/end of year

Yeah, there are. How many depends on the subject (mine last year had four, but I only went to one). It's in Thornbury, however, so it depends on how close you live. I found the seminar notes they sent me more useful than the actual seminars...

ahah.

This may sound silly but couldn't i learn the whole course using only the text book following the study design? Like i practically did that with legal, i took no notes in class, all done at home?

I guess you could, gut it's always handy to have another source (i.e. the course reader). I don't really know what is contained in course readers for subjects with a textbook (both philosophy and music styles had no textbook, it was all in the DECV's books)

UPDATE. Okay so i called my VCE coordinaor and he advised me that i cannot do bus man as dis ed or as apart of the class. So i have decided to do biology and i have dropped chemistry.

i know i told him i'm like "and why can't i do it through dis ed?"
his like "i don't think the school can accommodate for such a need blah blah and his like it'll take a while before the principle can agree cause the new principle has a dick up his ass" (he didn't say that part past cause). And so im like well then im still changing chemistry. Btw this was and is my chemistry teacher.

i don't think the school can accommodate for such a need blah blah

What? He's clearly ignorant as to what distance education entails. In reality, the home school does very little. All they are responsible for is providing you with a supervisor for your SACs. And it's not hard to find a teacher to sit and observe you doing a SAC. My friend had a library technician as her supervisor. DECV does everything else.

it'll take a while before the principle can agree cause the new principle has a dick up his ass

A VCE coordinator can also approve an application.

[costargh]

Yeh. That's bullshit. The school have obviously just done what's convinient for them with no regard for your needs.
