    ECOP and GOVT moving to new School of Social Sciences in Arts

    Not cool, ECOP for instance may get slightly more respect, but it won't get any more funding, the Arts faculty is poor.

    what's the difference between int studies & global studies?

    Since it's administered by the Economics & Business Faculty, yeah, there would be a greater economic and political focus, as the core units are in Government and Political Economy (don't fear, Political Economy isn't as mathematical and scientific as 'Economics', it's a more...

    Chances of getting into USYD law?

    That's always a risk, but it'll give you more time to decide what you really want to do, and you'll get to do more non-law subjects and try out a few things, even if it's just for the sake of learning. Anyhow, point being, there's plenty of avenues, even to Sydney Uni alone, and plenty of time...

    a competitive industry?

    For what it's worth, yeah, it's very competitive industry, but nonetheless your impressions of it are based on limited knowledge. Sure, it's a competitive industry, but, since the 'media' industry is so globalised and dynamic, if anything, knowledge of other cultures and languages would enhance...

    Chances of getting into USYD law?

    Are you considering Grad Law? No matter how well you do in the in the HSC, the first years or two of uni are spent learning about 'learning' itself, and it wouldn't hurt to have a degree (pun intended) of academic maturity. It just sounds like your approaching Combined Law as the be all end all.

    Call centre jobs

    yeah its good experience, try to stick with one for at least 6 months anyway. That said, it can be pretty soul-destrying, one consequence is you end up hating humanity, even if you do inbound sales. Depends on the call centres, there's heaps around. However, avoid "Teleperformance" for dear...

    Semester 2 Chatter Thread (2007)

    Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! wasn't gonna put it in the list for that very reason, but it was previously lumped together with those other 4 disciplines.

    Semester 2 Chatter Thread (2007)

    Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! There'll be a separate school of social inquiry. GOVT and ECOP should've been in their own faculty at the very least, because they're overshadowed by more profitable business disciplines in the EcoBus faculty (which is now more Bus than Eco), but then the Arts...

    Unit of Study Outline Exchange

    Same here. For anyone that's still interested - Int. Organisations is very very crowded, tutes are packed, lecturer taking the course has also changed, apparently for the worse - Int. Risk Analysis seems like a drag, mainly cos of the lecturer's annoying monotone, and the need for 2...

    the OC

    I disagree I think there was plenty of closure. Yes, they probably didn't do deal with Theresa and Trey in great detail, but they would've messed things up way too much. Did anyone notice that one of the gay guys that bought the Cohen's Berkeley Home, the Caterer guy, was actually playing a...

    the OC

    Yeah, josh schwartz is also exec producer. Doesn't air in the states until their fall/our spring. It'll start out on Ch9 here next year (just like the OC did.... hmm... likewise, it would probably be more suited to ch10).

    Maroon 5

    Absolutely awesome, it's so 80's, but it's how 'pop' music should be. If anything, I thought 'Songs About Jane' was the generic, boring album, not 'It Won't be song before long'

    the OC

    What does everyone think of the OCs 'replacement' - the Josh Schwartz created "Gossip Girl"? I know it hasn't started yet, but just from the preview, it won't replace the OC for me. Didn't like the characters, they don't seem as strong and all seem to take themselves waay too seriously, how...

    Anyone done ECOP1002 or GOVT1105?

    dunno about govt1105 but i did ecop1002 last year. Only thing is this year I think someone new is taking it (Damien Cahill by the looks of it), since Gabrielle Meagher has, shock horror, become a professor in the Education faculty, so things might change slightly this year. First four lectures...

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post ECOP3017 Political Economy of Human Rights Ease: 7/10 Assessment marking was explicitly strict on extensive use of data/empirical evidence, as the Social Sciences would be, but they were very clear on it here, which is probably a good...

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post GOVT2119 Southeast Asia: Dilemmas of Development Ease: 8/10 The assessment is really spread out here in terms of value, so much so that if you do well enough during the semester, even if you just manage to pass the 25% worth final exam, you...
