    essay - report

    usually you just attach the assignment cover sheet...you don't really have to do your own. Just make extra copies of the assignment cover sheet at the back of your unit outline and attach that...it has everything on there, you just fill in the details. Were you asked to make your own title page...

    Failing a subject in 1st Year ?

    if you fail a subject you have to re-do it...usually the next semester if it is available. You can continue with your program of study if the unit that you fail is not a core unit, or a pre- requisite for any of the subjects you would be continuing on with. What you have to do though is go to...

    Referncing???

    yes when doing in text referencing you put the author's last name, year of publication and the specific page number...all in brackets next to the quote of course. You must always include the page number a quote can be found on, only when you're taking a general concept or idea do you leave it...

    cheap backpacking holidays

    well I honestly have so much information that I couldn't possibly post it all...if anyone has any specific questions or is in need of any specific links for particular things like transport, accommodation etc let me know...I spent a year gathering links as I planned my own trip there after...

    cheap backpacking holidays

    yeah they do...check out their website if you're interested, http://www.minus5.co.nz/, there's also an icebar in Auckland too so you can select either location. Anyways if anyone is interested in a trip to NZ I have stacks of itineraries and internet sites so just let me know if you want any...

    Referncing???

    yes the good old bibliography is good for filling up that extra space. Doing both would seem a waste of time...a bibliography alone would do the work of both...and if there aren't many texts which you cited then I'm sure your tutor would be able to recognise those you used in your work. Check to...

    Referncing???

    you have to do both? Generally I just do a reference list with only the works that I cite. A bibliography is a list of everything you looked at, whether you found it useful or not...whereas a reference list just lists those sources that you referenced in your work. If you have to do both, which...

    cheap backpacking holidays

    yeah there is, but I guess that really depends where you go. In big tourist places like queenstown, wellington etc there are quite a few places. Obviously at smaller towns there won't be as much. I didn't go to NZ for the nightlife, so I can't be anymore specific...and I don't know if it's as...

    i need to know...

    Hero why do threads have the tendency to go way off topic when you arrive? :p Let's try and stick to the topic here...so unless anyone has any genuine concerns or questions about uni/assignments etc enough with the spam! Joking or not hero I don't think it is appropriate to joke about the...

    hello cape :p I've been around, I'm usually around here somewhere...but yes busy studying as always :D

    i need to know...

    you can format your document to 1.5 spacing as cape outlined above. Basically you're asked to do this to give tutors some space to comment, to make it easier to read long essays etc. 1.5 spacing just means that instead of having writing on every line, directly underneath the line before, it...

    i need to know...

    yes that's right, a citation is basically just a reference...or an acknowledgment of a source from which you take an idea or quote...the way you do this depends on the style you are using...though I'm sure you're ok with that...let us know if you need any specific help with referencing...

    i need to know...

    You add in everything that you write, excluding any appendix and/or bibliography. I'm assuming you'll be referencing what you paraphrase? It's similar to a quote in that way...if you get the idea, (even if you don't directly quote something) from any source you have to reference where that idea...

    Word Limit for OT assignment

    usually as a general rule for any subject you are given 10% each way. So you can be 10% over or 10% under the word limit. For example if you had a word limit of 1000 you could write either 900 or 1100 words without penalty. Some tutors may be more flexible than others but really you should aim...

    Criticism would be appreciated ...

    hey, I've briefly looked over what you have...first impression from the first two sentences alone is that they are perhaps a little convoluted...or could be expressed more concisely. It's only a suggestion of course but with a CR this long you really want to get your point across...

    Gym Membership..

    How long is this membership for? I'm not sure if things have changed but when I went there last year you were given the option of joining for different periods of time, depending on what you wanted. I'm not a member so I can't help you with exact figures but there was no mention of a membership...

    Pass or Credit Average

    As has been said, obviously better marks are harder to get, or require more work and effort. A credit average should not be that hard to attain if you strive to do a little more than the bare minimum. As the semester and year progresses you will come to know what sort of things you are expected...

    Islam

    I don't think you can generalise and say that all muslims hate jews, or that all muslims have tried pork. Some may have, it really depends on how strict you are and how much you follow your religion. There are a lot of Jewish people who don't follow the kosher rules of their religion, a lot of...

    Islam

    Mary is just the chosen mother of Jesus, she was not God's wife or anything like because as you know God is not human. Mary was just a good person who God thought worthy and chose to bear Jesus...Mary had a partner in life, Joseph...but that's all another story. Mary is the mother of...

    FORMAL APOLOGY 2 all UWS students

    natstar is an extremely helpful member of the BOS community...she's been really helpful to me and a lot of other people, especially on the UWS forum. If she wasn't a helpful member her application to become a benefactor would not have been approved. I thought since no one had replied to this...
