Following the creation of the Lara Year 12 Physics wiki page, it became a requirment of the year 12 course work to create a 'personal e-space'. As such, this page now co-exists with those of the... Year... 11... students.

It was also reccomended to me that i should offer help to any year 11 physics students that were having trouble with the course. Please.... do not ask me for help. However, please feel free to ask Kathryn Sobey, as she is also a school captain and SRC representative.

Also here are a few tips to get you through the next year or so: 1) Actually do the work for the first week or so, so you build up several pages of writing, so in future, if your teacher spots you slacking off, you can turn back and proudly display what you say is todays work. It also helps if you cross out whatever heading there was and replace it with what your teacher wants to see

2) If your not paying attention and your teacher spots you and proceeds to ask you a detailed question, start talking immediently, as any pause will lead your teacher to beleive you werent being attentive. What you actually answer with is largely irrelevant, but it helps to read any key words off the whiteboard your teacher is writing on so you have an idea what may have been asked. Some teachers like to pretend they can read your work while in front of you (upside down), only one teacher at this school can actually do this. This means this trick works in every scenario except when the teacher actually sits down with you to go through your work in detail

3) The first couple of lessons following a SAC are golden. Feel free to relax, and do not rush, as it is at this point that the next SAC is as far away as it can be

4) Whenever posed the question "Did you do the homework" by a teacher, a simple "no" is suicidal, as are lame excuses. In Physics the best response is "i had a go, but had some trouble with (some detailed topic that isnt too broad)", this works because it gives the impression you actually did work, while at the same time making you look emotionally vulnerable because you are struggling with the course (your teacher loves nothing more than feeling they can help you). The fact the homework wasn't actually done is largely forgotten by this point and the coursework will now be 'spoon-fed' to you.

What the hell, there were 6 points i put up here someone has deleted the last two, the finger is pointed at you, Kat. Too bad i can't remember what they were, ill do my best to put them back up at a later date. Hehe, i like it --1221439755 Funny as 1221440443
