Hi Everybody - I'm sorry to spam you all with this and hope you don't mind. This Saturday, at 2pm in Martin Place, the people of Sydney will unite in solidarity with those who have taken to the streets of Iran to protest the continuation of Ahmadinejad, the Supreme Leader, and the...

Re: Results and Predictions (Sem 1 '08) Mine are on the Honours marking scale (which, apparently, is nastier than the undergrad system). Result: Cultural Studies (hons. Arguing the Point): 92. Prediction: English (hons. Conference option. American Gothic): 90.

So, once registered I'm to log into My Library, click the 'document delivery' link, and then request obscure articles published only in Slovenia. Sounds simple, and so it should, as this is what the library website told me to do, and the library website is usually pretty simple. Now...

Company_Sin Bachelor of Arts (English and Cultural Studies) Hons. IV

I'm curious about this as well. Do you know what the criteria is? I know in Fine Arts its an HD average of something to that effect, but I'm not sure if other factors influence the award (for instance, I've given papers at several international conferences while only in third year - surely...

Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post Because I’m supposed to be writing a conference paper on Derrida, Hypertext Theory, and the Postmodern Gothic, have some reviews. Also, these are all from the English dept., so I won’t be giving course codes, only titles: Contemporary...

Firstly: please, write in standard English. You can't possibly tell me it's any easier to write in semi-txt or whatever you call that. Now, if you're doing a degree which requires you to take units in a certain order, leaving chemistry may cause an issue for you as a few of the more...

Well, be grateful that you're being prepped for advanced English units in which nothing is spoon fed to you via lectures. But I agree. He - like many staff members in the English department - is definitely not suited for first year English.

If you have a good, firm grasp of English you ought to do fine. What you do need to watch out for is what someone above me whose username I've since forgotten pointed out: at university, English courses move a breakneck pace! So, you'll not have a whole lot of time to 'get' a play; instead...

Ah, Stefan! He came across from America halfway through last semester to convene the second half of the Postmodernism course. I find him an... interesting teacher. He's amazingly intelligent and what he has to say is great and often really interesting. Sadly though, what he has to say...

Who is your lecturer? And, from my experience, first-year English units are by no means coherent; instead, they tend to be a huge bundle of ideas which haven't even the most tenuous connections between them.

Who is on the SUMS executive this year? - You may meet me at some point. I don't sing but I am friends with about half the choir so I end up ushering at a lot of the concerts. And I think the subject you're thinking of is offered under the dept. of Performance Studies. It is, no doubt, a...

I live in Enmore which, alongside Newtown, is excellent for students. If you find a decent place to stay, you'll be in the thick of wacky student life (if that's your thing), you'll be close to campus (it takes me fifteen minutes by foot), and you instantly win 'trendy' points! For...
