Mar 4, 2014

This week we look at Australia’s place in the global economy and other countries responses to influence of the global economy. Awesome for essays on topic 1 and topic 2!

Article 1 – Australia and the Global economy

This article  touches on China, the RBA and exchange rates. What a hole in one!

Article 2 – India Case Study

Topic 1 of the economics course dictates you have to undertake a case study of a country other than Australia and globalisation. Here’s some useful information on India which makes an excellent case study country.

Article 3 – Global influences on the Australian economy

Markers always love when you have up to date examples. Check out this article that looks at how the problems in Ukraine will influence the Australian economy.

Make these 3 changes to your HSC preparation and watch your results improve:
1️⃣ Be clear on why you’re doing the work and what you’re aiming for. For many, motivation doesn’t just appear.. you need to work on it.
2️⃣ Take small, consistent and proactive actions instead of cramming and hoping it sticks.
3️⃣ Practice questions and writing even before you are ready. Most students will avoid this action until the week before an exam.. this is where marks are gained.
Most students know what to study. Top performing students have learned HOW to train.

Five reasons you’re not motivated.
Here’s the truth they don’t tell HSC students.
Motivation feels good, but it fades.
Discipline is what shows up on the days you don’t feel like it.
That’s what gets results in study and in life
Small changes in your study habits can completely change your HSC results.
Consistency > cramming.
Sydney students who fix the basics early always finish stronger. 📚
