Probably because students don’t answer with enough depth in their answer because every comment you make MUST be proven .

How do you know this character is sad …. QUOTES ARENT PROOF , TECHNIQUES ARENT PROOF EITHER .

THE AUTHOR USES ANAPHORA IN “ ………….” to invite audiences to ….. which LINKS TO WHAT THE QUESTION DEMANDS

To many times when I’m marking I read something like “,the author states ……” but rarely do they say WHY the author says that nor do they explain the relevance of it or how they know what the author is suggesting


Every English HSC paper I mark I ask myself. Why should I believe what this student says in their answer ?
very wise i must say thankyou

omg my friend got a 19/20 but before the teacher actually gave her a 20 but then they rubbed it out and put a 19. I think it's cause they can always nitpick and find something wrong with it so that deduct a mark

my attitude in marking is to prove every single statement and support every quote with reasons why the technique shows that .what makes you believe this is what the author wants you to believe . Many believe there is no such thing as a perfect essay or it’s very rare

Did you even read what he said? If you don’t elaborate on what the techniques and quotes do, how they shape meaning and answer a question, they don’t mean much. You’re the one with the burden of proof, you have to showcase a set of points which answer that given question.

I dislike UNSW because they don't do proper pen and paper exams anymore and it's too "hands on" now

UNSW fell off real bad.

I dislike "Mobius" so much. I dislike "Maple" so much.

@barnyard made a good decision by going to usyd instead of unsw.

UNSW just feels incredibly profit driven ever since covid i9. they put profit way over people's experiences. the government can administer 100000 x 5 HSC papers yearly, yet UNSW (with the bank loads of cash from international students) thinks printing and marking papers only for 1500 people too hard and expensive, so they make us do exams on their trash computer labs on their shitty platform called mobius.

It's great mr UNSW ceo is making a 1.3 million dollers per year so we have to do exams on their trash computers and feels like were paying money just to do Khan Academy.

If you enjoy maths, you definitely will not enjoy UNSW. Doing Khan Academy ahh exams will not be enjoyable to you in anyway shape or form. UNSW has become UTS with slightly more prestiege

there's a reason why top unis still use pen and paper for actual exams.

The UNSW campus is nice, but it's disappointing its now a degree factory with UTS ahh yellow branding and signage

my teacher doesnt even give full marks in internals but since he is a hsc marker he does for hsc. so like the most would be one less than the marks
