As someone who completed Year 12 last year, this astounds me. Your students actually get to choose which detailed study they get to do?
Mine was decided on by a "school council" and my physics teacher with no input from us students whatsoever.

Perhaps a greater emphasis on student feedback, and action taken in accordance with it, should be an aspect considered on improving in the current curriculum.

I myself had terrible mathematical methods and physics teachers last year, but no amount of complaining or asking for extra help would change the fact that my classmates and I were stuck with them.
There was a general attitude that it was up to us students to work around the issues (which is what ended up happening).
