Why is the HSC science syllabus so woke and full of humanities? (1 Viewer)

[coolcat6778]

Why are we forced to learn about aboriginal bs in chemistry and biology and aboriginal rock paintings... Why the fuck in the physics exam are we asked to answer like 15% worth of questions that are like "How did this scientist improve the lives of society" I thought they got rid of all this bs. I literally lost so many marks on questions like this in the 2024 physics paper. This problem is only exclusive to NSW HSC papers, literally look at every other state their papers don't have these garbage questions asking "How did the discovery of fundamental particles improve our lives" or the garbage below. This garbage actually pmo and I lost so many marks on these humanities questions in the actual physics hsc exam. This is all bs and needs to be removed immediately.

These questions belong in investigating science or even year 9 or 10 science, why the fuck are we forced to study the humanities of a certain science subject?

They seriously need to get rid of these questions cause a bunch of retards got higher than me cause the paper was literally just another english exam. There needs to be harder calculation questions instead of a bunch of questions testing your writing and essay skills. This garbage sucks. Physics isn't meant to be a shitty subject where you memorise dot points and rote learn from a textbook, it's suppose to require thinking. That thinking is only tested in calculation questions and VERY brief explanation questions. Question 32 does not belong in any physics paper, it's really embarrasing nsw is the only state that asks literal humanities questions in a physics exam designed for adults

Clearly the syllabus change in 2017 didn't do shit, these subjects are still full of these useless ass questions that don't test depth of knowledge and thinking. It's really embarrasing NSW, really is embarrasing. Every other state has an actual physics exam, while we get a boring ass garbage writing exam mixed with a bunch of 1 + 1 calculation questions .

Is all you do complain

Is all you do complain

yeah cause its unfair that nsw gets a garbage physics exam thats basically a humanities exam while every other state gets a proper exam without all the garbage rote learning and humanities essay questions. NO physics exam in the world asks you to write a shitty ass english esque analysis with petal structure on how scientists are good for society except for the nsw hsc. I'm pretty sure it's all labor's fault in an attempt to make physics more appealing to bums at the expense of actual physics skills - it's called dumbing down the syllabus, even though the physics Australian Curriculum is already easy anyway

aint that deep lol

Yeah it will help u get better at English. That way u can practice ur English skills in physics lol. Maybe their trying to make u guys go cross curriculum lol

 

[Hehehe22]

I can't believe you're complaining about this rather than the English mandate, because that's so much worse

I think they just want to help contextualise everything you're learning, so that you're not just studying things for the sake of studying

Also, some things are better left unsaid, even if you think that way...

Honestly we should just create a complain thread and complain about NESA and the hsc system in general

Yeah except it'd all be a waste of time bc NESA's never gonna read a random thread on a students' forum Just gotta clench our teeth and get through the HSC, then become the problem and make the next generations suffer

Haha I'm being cynical, don't mind me - I've been studying the entire long weekend

At least you’ve been productive. I’ve barely done anything. But at least we can have a thread to rant

Yess we can let our anger out in spirit

And no, I haven't been productive, I've just spent a lot of time :/

Ok I made the complaint thread
