The parking at parra is bad, but still wayyy better than public transport imo.. If you get there before 9am (even 15 mins before) you should get a park any day. The worse time for parking is between 9am-1pm. After 1pm I always get parking as well... If worse comes to worse you get sent to...

Yes, you will be given a new GPA. BUT if any of the subjects in your old course are counted towards the new course, these subjects will be included in the new GPA calculation. Well, that's what happened to me... EDIT: so in the OP's case, your GPA will probably be the same, since Im guessing...

I wish I was as proactive as you! IRAC definitely works for legal problem solving, my marks improved since I started using that method. Also don't be afraid to use headings in law problem solving questions! the good thing about torts is some of the cases are so outrageous that it makes it really...

Check the unit outline and VUWS for assignment submission details. Submission of assignments can be either online, in class (lecture or tutorial) or in the teacher's assignment box in the school of law, or a combination of these. It will definitely say in the unit outline/study guide/on VUWS...

Ahh torts was my favourite subject back in the day. That's really good that they teach you guys IRAC now in first year. I was never taught it, basically had to figure it out ourselves. Interesting to see the grade distributions. Just shows getting credits really aren't that great when the...

What about for HR? No one on this site even has a major in HR I bet lol

Says the guy who does a maths degree :/ Mate I don't think I even know how to do algebra anymore... I'm in my final year of business/law and have got by fine. If you don't like maths stick to majors like HR and marketing, and you will only have one or two core intro stats/accounting units in...

Commerce is one of the easiest degrees and you only go to uni like 12 hours a week for a fulltime study load lol. It's awesome, pretty much like being on holiday all year.

I hate when that happens. Nowadays if I ever go to a class that usually marks the roll, and for some reason that day they forgot I ALWAYS ask the teacher where the roll is. The only reason I attend uni is to get my named marked off, so the way I see it, I ain't leaving that class till I do! This...

You're an idiot. Some people are terrible at maths yet have excellent logical reasoning skills. A lot of people that do law are terrible at maths (myself included) but can solve complex legal problems with relative ease. But show me a formula or any numbers and I start sweating. To the OP...

OK RELAX. I meant honours generally for those doing a business or commerce degree. More specifically I'm looking to do honours in HR. Happy? BTW we're in Australia, it's 'honours' - but thanks for trying.

From what I've heard from friends, MQ seems harder than UTS. Simply because a lot of the people I know that do MQ commerce seem to have failed a subject or two. Honestly, just go to UWS if you're that worried about not getting through uni. You learn the same stuff, but you're more likely to...

Is there any point in completing an honours year in business/commerce? I've heard people say that it's pretty pointless and you're better off just getting out there working and getting experience. Any thoughts on this?

How far are you into the law degree? Your comments about "stumbling their way through a law degree" is completely invalid if all you've experienced is the first couple of years of the combined law program. Wait till 4th and 5th year, the units are very challenging and someone who doesn't study...

I think 'class participation' might be assessed differently depending on courses/subjects. It can be pretty hard to make up BS answers for law classes because the lecturer asks very specific questions on cases and if you haven't done the weekly readings you're screwed. For me it's just too...
