    UWS Reputation

    I sort of thought that way, not really but people were always telling me that UWS was crap...but I'm studying there and I like it there. I was in your position this time last year worried about its so called "bad reputation" I've found no real evidence of it though...I mean I can't compare it to...

    Anyone bum out like me??

    ummm UNE courses aren't generally in high demand so your chances of getting in may be better there than at many other unis. It is hard to say whether cuttoffs will go up or down...but if you're really worried it won't hurt to contact them now...they may very well tell you to wait and see, but at...

    Any tips for surviving Ext1??

    hmmm yes I think the only way to survive is to like what you are learning...if you hate it then maybe you should drop it because although you may do well in it, you would probably do even better if you were interested. I liked all of the texts you mentioned...hehe...but I'd say either learn to...

    should i do ext 2?

    hey, It wouldn't be too late but you'd really have to decide soon... Looking at EE2 alone I'd definately say do it, because I loved it and it was a subject I really enjoyed because of the freedom and the independant research etc. Though, not dropping a subject isn't such a good idea, firstly...

    Anyone bum out like me??

    Yes in that respect it is, so you have that in mind when you are studying for your exams during the year...but the point is if u don't get your desired UAI you have to then focus your energies on getting into uni through other means i.e tafe. So important or not a bad UAI doesn't = no uni. That...

    Italian scaled down..

    No, I understand what you're saying...and all I can say is if they aren't going to apply themselves enough they shouldn't bother taking the course because people who work their butts off don't get their just rewards...it is so annoying that what other people do affects everyone else...damn them...

    Year 11 course advise

    definately do advanced english...I may be biased because as a huge fan of english...so much so that I did 4u, but advanced isn't too hard and obviously you can't do 3u without doing advanced so if you choose 3u, you haven't really got a choice there. :) I did bio in yr11, I dropped it so I...

    Anyone bum out like me??

    That is exactly right, I'm at uni atm, just finished first year and I can tell you that no one cares about anyone's UAI...even when I spoke to someone from UAC last year they agreed that your UAI means nothing after like the first week. I have a lot of friends who didn't get the UAIs they needed...

    Come si dice?

    hehe this is a somewhat late reply but I forgot to post the right way of saying it, or at least the way my tutor preferred. Lo amo lo stesso...in the context that was probably better...*shrugs*

    Italian scaled down..

    I did it last year and apparently it was scaled down...I was told that it scaled down on the assumption that those taking the course were italian, which if that is true is very annoying considering I'm not...but I really don't know how the scaling worked, this was just what someone from UAC said...

    Marks are out!

    hey, The uni website just says we'll be posted the actual marks in "late December" so in the next couple of weeks I'd say. As for the GPA the mail we get might even have it on it...I'm not too sure though, can someone confirm or disbute this?

    Eng Ext 2

    I agree that the marking is subjective and while I'm sure markers try to be fair in their marking I think it is an impossible expectation to think that they won't bring a little bit of their own expectations or whatever into marking. This being said if you write on a certain topic that they do...

    Eng Ext 2

    heya guys, Congrats to those of you who are happy and for those of you who aren't I suggest you do get a re-check even if people tell you the re-check is based on clerical errors and not an actual remarking as such. I did it last year and I got 47 overall but the year before my brother had...

    Can anyone help?

    Hey, I have to interview someone who is italian (and tape it) about their migration from italy to Australia, life in Australia etc. I'm not italian and don't know anyone who is...the interview has to go for approx 30mins and be in english. I live in Camden...does anyone know somewhere I can...

    does anyone know any really advanced sentences about family relationships ....ect

    Well that really depends what you want to say...there is the usual "ho un buon rapporto con i miei genitori" but if you want to expand on that you could say something like "so che posso contare su di loro per qualsiasi cosa" - I know I can depend on them for anything...but what are you...

    Come si dice?

    I know that "I love him" is "lo amo" and "I love her" is "la amo" etc the problem was apparently with the word "ancora" or so my teacher said so I thought a different word must be used in italian rather than the literal translation...it doesn't matter I'm sure he'll tell me since I can't figure...
