honestly i disagree, even in subjects like stem, you're still writing essays and reports, every time you do an experiment in a lab as a scientist, you have to write a report about your experiment and in postgraduate environments those require a lot of research and can come up to 5,000 words.
however, there should be a more practical aspect in the english syllabus, right now i'd say its far more flowery than it needs to be
yeah but the content in the STEM report is quite useful as it discerns VAR which is quite important for the experimental evidence and theory to be justified and accepted by the scientific community. Thus, making it far more valuable than english where the content is essentially non-applicable for most UNI students. If you think english teaches structure and cohesiveness, there are many other alternatives essay subjects such as economics, histories, commerces etc which all teach you structure and cohesiveness. So I kinda don't see the point of english, by focusing more on things like language conventions it would be a far more beneficial subject to the overall populus, so yeah I dont think it should be compulsory and I'd say just about any subject is more useful and better than it.

Yep.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though, as this is more of a maths ext 1 problem. It is unlikely something like this would be asked in HSC Physics.
