    exams

    yeah it varies...the same kind of rules apply as far as bags and such go though. You either take your pens etc in a plastic sleeve, clear pencil case or just in your hand depending on how many you have. Most of the time you will be instructed to leave your bag out the front of the room before...

    Tutorial registration for spring

    yep, if you are enrolled for all your spring classes that just means that you are ready and able to register for the specific tutorials and times you want when registration opens. Only then can you select and be registered for the specific classes you'll be doing within the units you have chosen. :)

    stupid instruction

    it would be for the quality...what side a printer prints on depends on the settings you specify when using the software...it's just because the quality of laser printers is better than that of dot-matrix and ink-jet printers because they are capable of printing at a higher resolution...this just...

    Webct probs

    it's all working now...well for me so presumably for everyone...the service was just disrupted by the password changes...but it's all good now :) Just make sure you follow the prompts on the website, or use the link in the post above ;)

    Do i have to pass every single assessment?

    I agree not handing in an assignment at all is a very bad move...at least attempt it even if it's not that fabulous...check the unit outline for that subject to check what the policy is...but you can't get any worse than a 0 or a fail so hand something in at least and there's a pretty big chance...

    Do i have to pass every single assessment?

    as has been said you don't usually fail overall by failing one assignment...unless you are on a scholarship, or have been told differently. Usually you only have to obtain a pass mark for the unit overall...so even if you fail an assessment you can make up for it in the next assignment etc. You...

    internal transfer.. AGAIN

    well first of all there is no reason that you can't maintain it...I'm sure if you work hard you would be able to. However for what you are asking that is somewhat irrelevant and would be for you to decide. You can not transfer internally and continue your degree...a transfer is exactly that...

    WebCT Problems?

    The only thing I can think of is that you may have a pop-up blocking application on your computer stopping the pages from loading properly. Check your virus software just in case... If you have got pop-up blocking software enabled either disable it or if you can, depending on the software add...

    Webct

    it won't really matter because ideally we were meant to change our WebCT password from our birthdays anyways. For those of you who prefer your WebCT password to your usual one (and it isn't just your birthday) perhaps you could just change your account password to the same thing. If it doesn't...

    Islam

    well frankly I think that people shouldn't smoke, regardless of their religion! I mean the fact smoking is bad for you doesn't need to be written in a sacred text for you to realise that it is bad for your health. Islam forbids a lot of things based on the fact that they are bad for you...

    Grade point average

    yeah I was going to say you're very lucky if all you have to do is maintain a pass average. Really all we can say no matter what average you have to get is just do the best you can. It definitely isn't hard to pass everything if you hand stuff in and go to tutes etc...a credit average or above...

    sick, and assignment due

    I agree with cape's idea to e-mail the unit co-ordinator or tutor to inform them of your situation. You will probably have to fill out one of those special consideration forms ASAP after the due date. You can find a copy online in the form section of the UWS website, or pick one up from the...

    Grade point average

    For every unit that you do you get an overall mark of either high distinction, distinction, credit, pass or fail, of this I'm sure you are aware. A GPA is basically a grade point average that is calculated based on your performance over all your subjects. Marks are awarded the following points...

    urgent opinion

    I would personally try to have more than the minimum, but if you have to have at least 4 and have 4 than that will be fine. Although this is assuming of course that they are good sources. It is equally as important to have a range of sources, if not more important than having a lot of them. So...

    essay - report

    yeah just a little...you may lose a few marks...but if it's good then you'll be ok...some tutors even only read up to the word limit and stop...so whatever point you made after 2200 words won't be taken into account. Some will read all of it and take a few marks off...some might not care. I...

    essay - report

    well this really depends on the tutor and how much you go over. Technically you are given 10% either above or below and anything more than that gets marks deducted...I'm not sure how many marks but I'm assuming the more you go over, or under the more you'll be marked down. If it's just a little...

    essay - report

    each tutor marks differently at uni...but essentially the mark you against the requirements of the assignment, depending on whether you've met them or not. All you can really do is answer the question as well as you know how...be critical if the question calls for it, present different sides of...

    essay - report

    really that's extremely unusual...I'm guessing this would be as well as having a cover sheet...if not use the cover sheet as a guide...whatever you do apart from that I think would just be up to you...do something relating to your essay topic. I've never had an assignment where we had to do a...
