To bad I'm shit at taking notes

 

[Shadowdude]

Really? I tend to write down essentially everything. Even to the point of spelling mistakes.

Like, when I went to this English Modules thing last year - and my class hadn't watched Blade Runner yet. I wrote "Nexus" as "Anexus" because that's what I heard the lecturer say... I lol'd in hindsight.

Or when my EX2 mentor suggested I read some "JD Salenger", oh wow... how silly I was =P


Aquawhite: Yeah, they do. They sent an email saying they needed someone to help out for a disabled student.

i tend not to listen in to much detail, which i guess i should change from here on in :S it makes it kinda difficult.
i'm also pretty lazy. i'm thinking of getting a voice recorder thingy for lectures, or just use my phone.

Sounds a great idea in principle, however you will most likely never listen to the tapes ever. Most lectures are at least audio recorded and made available online to students enrolled in the course anyway.

gosh if i was denied travel concession on the basis of my employment, id simply quit since >50% of my weekly wage would be spent on train tickets.

Why don't you just get a MyMulti pass.. it's $20.50 a week for trains and buses anywhere in Sydney.

 

[kaz1]

^Isn't that only MyMulti 1? You can only go up to Croydon with that.

 

[davidbarnes]

Not sure yet.

 

[twistedrebel]

yeah thats multi 1. She probably needs multi 3. Which is like $28-30 IIRC.

EDIT: http://www.131500.com.au/tickets/fares

my multi 3 is 28.50. for unlimited train and bus travel.

I've had a job for 3 years now.
I got that UNSW note writing job offer too but it was for some gen ed class that I'm only taking because there was literally no other class worth taking. Applying for the job would mean having to turn up to a lecture that I don't want to go to every week and taking notes for a subject I don't give a crap about. Y'know. It ain't gonna happen.

 

[twistedrebel]

the UNSW writing thing, is it some special requirement or something for it?

 

[Cinnamonster]

I got an email about it. Basically SEADU wants people to write notes for students with disabilities in certain courses.

 

[red-butterfly]

Yes I'm working, but not full time so i still qualify for travel concession

Doesn't it say 'working' disqualifies you, i.e. you don't have to be fulltime.

I am working at big w, as I have been for the last 3 and a half years. :/

 

[Chevalier]

I'm working a few tutoring jobs, atm its only 4 hrs a week hoping to bump that up to at least 8, if the damn coaching firm I'm working with can get me more than my current measly 1 hr a wk. The other 3 is from a private tutoring proposition I somehow luckily managed to land.

If I'm thinking of going into part time retail in the future, would work experience as a tutor help in applying for a job in that sector?

[davidbarnes]

To those who are working: have you applied for concession and if so, why?

Of course you would as transport is cheaper then.
