To answer the 3rd question you asked, The cut-off for Liberal Studies is high because they only offer 50 spots according to the course organisers I spoke to today. This is even less than Combined law which offers 200 spots, and straight commerce offers a few hundred.

Up until this afternoon Comm (lib) was my first preference, I changed it to straight commerce for this exact reason. 'Liberal studies' isn't marketable, and it isn't even considered a double degree. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life explaining what the 'liberal studies' component was...

Of the 260 odd spots at Usyd, roughly how many would you estimate to be transfers? Does that mean that UNSW offers roughly 150 main round spots, if we take the 100 places they guarantee for transfers out?

For the record, if you do comm/law at Usyd or UNSW you can only do one commerce major. From memory you do 96 Commerce credit points and 144 credit points for law. So the combined degrees are more law orientated that commerce orientated.

From memory the cutoff for '09 was 98.45, so it is relatively low this year and I doubt many <98ers would have made it (if any).

Whoops, I just checked that out- you're right. My apologies. Darn, I associated the word 'human right' with the topics we studied in the first section of the hr syllabus. Gah, I'm looking at 18ish now

I think you're wrong, freedom of religion is a civil, political right. The right to education is a 'human right'. Question 9 is D

Err no, wasn't the question asking how human rights were recognized over time? Like the abolishment of slavery, suffrage, education etc..?

What did everyone write for the ' how regulations and market based policies can be used to preserve the natural environment' Note- it asked natural environment, some people on this forum have said carbon pricing- Isn't that more to do with climate change or pollution? I wrote about the...

I wrote the same and included the new China-ASEAN Fta, and it's movement away from the more volatile western nations to the more dynamic east Asian economies. Also wrote about the 12th five year plan and the gov's movement towards domestic driven demand, instead of reliance on exports in...

What's the most you reckon I'd get? For q 25 I interpreted 'economic activity' as economic growth only, and using the stimulus spoke about the gov's fiscal policy in response to the gfc as well as income distribution. I used heaps of statistics and referred to the stimulus throughout

To be honest, the questions were a little too easy and this made it a bit vague me thinks Who did 25 and 28 and what did you write?

so what exactly were we meant to do for the peace question? was it world and inner peace? with principle teachings and sacred texts thrown in?

Can someone repeat what the peace question was too

What exactly did the religion and peace essay ask us again?? seemed odd
