it's very hard to generalise across universities. Thinking about universities in terms of "cliques" is a very high school mentality I feel, especially when 1/2 the cohort at both unis seem to be "go uni for classes and then go straight home" types.

Semester 1 - 2017 LNGS1001 - Structure of Language Ease - 7/10 Unlike LNGS1002 (which is very much a humanities subject), LNGS1001 is much more rigorous and requires an almost mathematical approach in order to succeed. Don't do it expecting your typical "arts" subject. Throughout the semester...

LNGS1002 - Language and Social Context Ease - 9/10 Lack of tests means that it's very easy to get very high marks in this unit. Like seriously, I don't see how anyone could get below a distinction in this unit. The downside of this lack of tests is a 10% assignment every two weeks, combined...

lmao sylviaB why are you obsessed with me

I've personally found essay writing in law to have more parallels with the deductive reasoning I learnt in geometry than anything I did in my humanities subjects. That said, you do need to be good at expressing yourself. Both the sciences and the humanities teach you that, but I guess the later...

JPNS2621 Ease - 8/10 If you did continuers during high school, you should find the difficulty to be on par with HSC Japanese. There is, however, a much bigger focus on Kanji, so be prepared to spend a lot of time rote learning hundreds of new characters. The emphasis of university Japanese...

Care to explain why you think learning a language is such a waste? I'm still doing a language at uni, and it has been the most useful thing I've learnt out of all my subjects lol To I would strongly recommend the Bachelor of Arts (Languages) at USYD. It's 4 years and involves a compulsory and...

Good ideas, but it will cause a complete overhaul of the current HSC system. if English was compulsory but didn't count, scaling would change drastically (since currently all scaling comes from how students did in paper 1). People wouldn't take it seriously if it didn't count, and assuming that...

It would make the most sense for English to be the basis of scaling imo. With maths, you'll almost certainly have people getting 100% and those getting close to 0%, stuffing up the scaling completely. Not the case with English. The alternate would be to have an actual scaling test (as they have...

Turns out you might be just right http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/orlando-shooter-reported-pulse-club-regular-patrons-article-1.2672445?cid=bitly&utm_content=bufferf143a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=esandoval+twitter Nothing is confirmed right now, but it...

Uhhh.... Assuming you mean countries with a sizeable Christian population or majority (the only "Christian country" is the Vatican) there are heaps. Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe just to name a few. Closer to home you have the PNG - another Christian majority country where homosexuality is punished...

You're right. It is a culture problem. A culture which prioritises gun ownership over human lives. I do not doubt that homophobia motivated this despicable act, and I do not doubt that this homophobia ultimately stemmed from religion. However, non-existent gun laws are what allowed this hate...

And what do you propose for the millions of Muslims already living in the west?

Ahhh victim complex at its finest. How DARE those pesky Asians disagree with my VALID and REASONED contributions to this discussion! lmao you're in luck
