    PSY234 - anyone in Thurs 9-11 tutorial want to swap for Thurs 2-4?

    In the off chance someone on here is doing PSY234 and has the Thurs 9-11 tutorial, would you please please PLEASE like to swap for the 2-4 tutorial :P? (that I am enrolled in). Thought I'd offer here before the blackboard discussions open.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    The alcohol analogy isn't a good example, because if someone NEVER touches alcohol, they won't be an alcoholic. A homosexual always has strong sexual urges towards members of their same sex, whether they have 'touched' alcohol or not. It is silly for you to inform me that having sex is a...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    1. Because it is not a choice AND 2. Homosexual acts between two people that are consensual and practiced safely do not affect others (or themselves) negatively. (At least to be very conservative behind closed doors where no others are aware of the acts taking place) Be careful not to provide...

    Tutorials

    Well, you could try e-mailing the course conveyor or someone whose e-mail is attached to the unit page in the MQ handbook. You could also list the units here, maybe if someone has taken them in the past they can help you.

    Tutorials

    Try and check blackboard. Or if your lecture is before the tutorial, you will probably find out then. I have taken a unit with a compulsory practical/tutorial in the first week before. So they do exist :P.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Do you understand that when males are not sexually attracted (or more specifically turned off sexually by something), they physically cannot have sex?

    Do we get a booklist at Macq or ask our lecturers which books to get?

    The Macquarie student portal is pissing me off. Firstly, it only has my old units. Secondly, using the manual 'enter the student portal' isn't working. The links in the earlier thread about this (where replacing the unit code with the one you want) works, however. But still. I'm guessing after...

    Is choosing law at MAQ a bad option ?

    This seems to affect other departments, at least, the Psychology department too. Strange.

    Recommended Art units for Combined Law.in general?

    Well many of the old units have been categorised as people or planet. (So doing STAT170 and PHIl137 I apparently have done one people and one planet unit). You MUST do PHIL137. I think it's interesting, the unit is extremely organised structurally and the lecturers are interesting/funny...

    What does a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) get you?

    At ALL Unis you must do honours *and* post graduate study (or 2 year supervision) to become a 'full' psychologist. There is nothing special about the USYD BA-PSY program, so it must be a 4 year degree (3 year coursework + honours usually) and 2 years post graduate training or supervision, to...

    Credit for Previous Studies

    Just to clear any vagueness with 'make timetables for the year', manaji people have already selected their times for the 2nd semester, as well as the 1st semester, too.

    How do you do a double degree?

    I don't think you can really say arts/psychology is a double degree. It's a Bachelor of Arts - Psychology; not a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Psychology.

    Assumed Knowledge?

    ... How do you know it's not importnat? Just seeing my two brothers attempt (struggle) Computer Science and Engineering (both courses assumed Mathematics) with only General Maths knowledge, it does seem very important. Take a bridging course if you can.

    apple i-pad for uni?

    LOL. Since when was flash 'Adobe reader'? You can read PDF documents. And you can watch YouTube videos with the YouTube app (like the iPhone and iPod Touch). But you can't access other flash websites/'tools'. I find it ridiculous that out of all the problems with the iPad, people would...

    apple i-pad for uni?

    There will be certain tasks I think the iPad will be more suitable than others for Uni related work e.g. reading lectures notes in lectures.

    Is choosing law at MAQ a bad option ?

    I don't know....at least I took HLTH107, (intro to anatomy), and although Biology wasn't a prerequisite, it did give a little bit more confidence for the relevant work we covered in probably 1 lecture. You didn't *need* biology or anything, but still I would describe it as at least 'remotely'...

    Is there a minimum GPA you need to graduate?

    Well I guess you'd need to pass as a minimum :P?

    Need some help

    I'm pretty sure you can (and it is even recommended) to accept the offer and still get another offer.

    Has anyone ever had or known of a teacher qualified in both history and legal studies

    Re: Has anyone ever had or known of a teacher qualified in both history and legal stu Yes, if I remember correctly all the legal studies teachers at my school were history teachers. It's part of the same department.
