    If you were voted PM how would you reform....

    Hmm, I am incredibly bored so decided that maybe giving this a go might help me decide who's vote worthy this election... Education Eliminate laptops for students program, as well as the Building Education Revolution. These disastrous programs are a complete waste of tax payers money. Ask any...

    ECOP Question/Opinion

    As Sem 2 gets nearer the ECOP 1003 vs. ECOP 1004 gets more relevant. I'm still unsure. Any advice guys?

    Doing Units in the 'wrong' order?!

    Thanks spence. Good to know the ECOP units should be set. In particular, I was worried about Sociology, since the language in the descriptions infers the two are pretty sequential in their content. For instance the SCLG1002 descriptor in the Arts handbook starts off with something along the...

    Doing Units in the 'wrong' order?!

    Hey guys/gals, I've just been accepted Mid-year Arts. So far i've been very encouraged at the range of subject choices. I've just got one main concern: mid-year intake somewhat skews the 'order' of continuing subjects. For instance, I'm taking: Introduction to Sociology 2 (SCLG1002) before...

    Do USYD offer bachelor of arts mid year admissions?

    Hey guys, i'm in a similar situation, I'm happy to enter mid-year, but I don't want to if my options would be dissapointingly limited. If i'm interested primarily in topics such as literature and film studies and all that English-ish written/analytical stuff, as well as things related to social...

    Summer school for fast-tracking Arts?

    Thanks for your help =) For some background, i'm currently doing another, far more technical degree, but i'm not quite happy with it. I'm still going to get P's and C's, but what's the point if i'm not enjoying it? Arts is more suitable to my humanities bent. I realise it could potentially be...

    Summer school for fast-tracking Arts?

    Do you think it's feasible/possible to use Summer school as an 'extra semester' to fast track an Arts degree? I personally would be very tempted to use two summer school periods to effectively wipe off a year of an Arts degree. I know it might sound a bit intense, but the sooner I can get Arts...

    We made a mistake with Rudd, didn't we?

    Howard was a mixed bag. The NT intervention was by definition racist, and has protectionist undertones. He blocked the ACT gay civil union bill (which very notable Rudd DIDN'T, although his govt altered it so it 'less resembled marriage'), and also used his power over Territory governments to...

    For those who believe that homosexuality is genetic

    Some of you (mostly religious) fanatics just seriously got to get over it. Some people end up liking people of the same sex. Immoral actions, in my (admittedly humanist and agnostic) opinion, is any act which hurts or harms others. Hence homosexuality is not immoral. In fact quite the opposite...

    What are you currently Reading?

    Currently reading Considering Phlebas by Ian M. Banks. I like it quite a lot so far (only up to page 78 of over 400 mind you). Reminds me quite a bit of Dune. I love reading =)

    Transfer from USyd Med Sci

    Hey people, I've been at uni for a grand total of almost 3 weeks, and I've already decided not only am I doing the wrong degree, but I'm in the wrong faculty! I've been doing Medical Science for 3 weeks, and I just can't believe I chose something so incompatible with my strengths. I've always...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I said all the gay guys I know. I'm not lying its true: All the gay guys I know are not overtly gay in the slightest. You've seen "heaps of gays who fit the classical gay archetype" because they're so bleeding obvious! By the way, most gays don't want anything to do with the Catholic Church due...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Chris92, you're very good at generalising and looking at things from a simplistic point of view. Regardless of that magnetism analogy crap, there is a significant proportion of the population who find themself attracted to the same sex without any understanding why, and without any say in the...
