Oh yeah - no attempt marks in Project Maths, so that's kinda messed up.

Also now that i think of it, does anyone else have an idiot physics teacher? Failed me because I didn't write definitions exactly how he gave them to us, in fact he marked some of mine wrong, when the guy across the room wrote the same and got it right...

No attempt marks?! I heard its like...they start with 10 marks and deduct for mistakes, rather than add on for correct things but that sounds kinda dumb. And your physics teacher IS my geography teacher omg, I write whats in the notes and dont get marks when other people do and I asked this cool teacher who was like 'Yeah that is correct hes just a hard marker" :pac:

Like I said, it's apparently been changed back to to three pages? I'd love to big wrong like, but 'bhí a lán múinteoirí ag gearán', so she says :rolleyes:

My teacher made us do 2 page essays in 5th year but she had said that we'd have to extend them to 3 pages...theres just not enough information

I hate that so much, when you have a **** teacher but they're lovely and you feel soo bad calling them **** so you try to lie to yourself and tell yourself that they're good.. or is that just me

My history teacher Hes lovely but is just so slow and on our essays he just puts some ticks and then like 'good' or something, no grades.

I've looked but have had no luck so far

It's for english by the way has to be 4 pages

B2 in maths! Wahey!
And there should be attempt marks in project maths, but you still have to have a little bit of it right to get those just like you always did.

Games consoles - how many people do you know are glued to them day in day out?
Facebook, boards, twitter, etc - people spend hours on them.
iPods, phones, tablets, etc, etc - there's loads, just think outside the box.

Surely by the laws of nature you would think "she" is male so. I won't judge you if you say you do lower maths:D...or biology

You did not want to talk me Sunday. I was a giant raging bitch on Sunday. I would have made everyone cry.. This week I'll be there!

So anyone do biology? :P
I'm doing honours and I have a feeling we're so far behind because our teacher is going so slow!
The other honours class and even the pass class are chapters ahead of us! :O
She doesn't use the book and just makes us take down notes and is always just adding useless things that aren't in the book, we do an hour after school a week and we're still behind :O

So what has everyone else done?

We've done: the scientific method, characteristics of life, food, cell structure, cell diversity, diffusion and osmosis, cell division, classifications of organisms, Monera, fungi, protista, structure of flowering plant, transport, food and storage and gas exchange in plants, blood, heart and blood vessels, lymphatic system, human nutrition, homeostasis, human breathing, excretion, plant responses, nervous system, senses, endocrine system, skeleton and muscles and just finished the human defence system!

We've done roughly the same give or take a chapter or two !
Seems to be at a decent rate and in line with other classes and schools I know of

Luno

Still a lot to get through though! I'm not looking forward to next years paper tbh! Human reproduction didn't come up last year which was a "guaranteed" question. It's so long, they spent weeks doing it in my school apparently!

I've done all of these except we haven't done anything on plants and we're half way through the genetics section. So that's like genetic crosses and heredity and all. Although the pass and other honours class would be basically almost finished the course because they have genetics done and almost finished plants with just ecology to go I think.
