    USyd Chatter Thread 2017

    Hey man, this happened to me last sem and it was just because one unit was slow and hadn't finalized results yet. I wouldn't worry until after results are released :)

    Credit Transfer

    Hey all, Does anyone know how long a standard credit transfer might take? My application to internally transfer courses (drop from double to single degree) was completed on the 16/12/2016, which was when my credit application was automatically requested too. It's just been sitting there for a...

    Can you do teaching with no band 5 english?

    Oops - just noticed you didn't list UNSW as one of the unis you were interested in, but looks like same goes for MQ as your first year seems to be a foundational one which serves to cover the requirements somehow. Link here: http://www.educ.mq.edu.au/undergraduate/teaching_qualifications Pretty...

    Can you do teaching with no band 5 english?

    Hey there, As far as I know, at places like UNSW, the band 5 in English is more "assumed knowledge" than a prerequisite, ie they just assume you have a decent level level of written/ spoken English to grasp the course content & the eventual vocational demands if you enrol in the course. There...

    Applied to transfer from MQ Arts to USYD Arts

    I think you'll most likely get in, given that email response + some vague recollections I have of hearing about others transferring in similar circumstances :) Also, just curious, what faculties are you interested in?

    Handling workload in the holidays

    To reiterate what others have said: sleep is imperative for achieving the best possible results, and you really do need to prioritise and break tasks down into smaller, achievable goals. I'd definitely work on your assignments first if they are due sooner, but when you get to the fiddly stage...

    Bad first assessment marks and Bad cohort?

    From experience, I can tell you it is possible. I got an ATAR of 97 from a school ranked 400+, with cohorts that weren't exactly great and included people who simply didn't try. The only thing that will hold you back from reaching your goal is YOU. Fix up your time management, get a better...

    Low scaling subjects + high atar

    Hey buddy, I achieved a band 6s in 3 low scaling subjects identical/ similar to yours: Modern History, SOR1 and Gen maths 2. Here's a few little tips regarding things I did that worked: For your history, make sure you have a comprehensive set of notes completed well in advance of tests/exams...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    The source is here http://www.firstworldwar.com/source/georgev_aug1914.htm But yeah, you make a valid point FlyingKanga. They were going to Belgium first, and France was going to be invaded. I could very well be wrong. The answers were all a bit funky, I'd say this one will end up being a case...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    Are you sure question 2 was British Empire soldiers? I took empire to = not just Britain, and saw the little info thing at the top said it was the King's letter to the British expeditionary force, which wikipedia says is "The term often used to refer only to the forces present in France prior to...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    Sounds good, in retrospect I wish I led mine with the Nazi line too. & in response to your other post, economics gets a little hard, I found it a little tricky too. One of the main things I talked about was Weimar's heavy reliance on the international business cycle, foreign funds and...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    I endeavoured to balance the two, but wrote a little more on the Weimar content and the issues as I loved it, and also felt the need to establish how unstable Weimar was in order to contrast it with the stability the Nazis brought. Dealt with each of the areas (political and social together...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    I hear it was around 86 last year, so I'd say somewhere around that for this year. Personally, I think maybe a mark or two lower as the essay questions were a little harder than usual.
