Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post ECOP2011: Economic Foundation of Modern Capitalism Ease: 2/10 Apparently the hardest Political Economy course, and now I've been through this rite of passage, I can see why too. However, they don't pretend that it's an easy course. Readings...

yeah pretty much

Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post ECOP2911: Political Economy Honours II (Methods in Class Analysis) Ease: 8/10 It's all about class theory, but soo relevant to the real world. No final exam, just a seminar + paper, essay, tute participation, and most interestingly, an...

hey dont stress it's really not that hard, really straight forward, like cimbom said, and for the extended response you really could just learn the corresponding chapters from the textbook, and drop a few scholarly references (no need for years and page numbers though) and empirical...

Snobs, not really, and whatever snobs there are won't hurt you. Wankers, yes, but even then, it depends on the department (in the Arts, beware of Performance Studies, and the wannabe-diplomats and pseudo-Rhode Scholars in French, for instance, but even then, they're just people too, and you've...

I concur. Due to a lameass GPA and UAI I didn't get a transfer to Sydney Law, but instead I got an offer to transfer to ANU Law this year, so you can tell me as much as you want how much I made the wrong decision. Decided that I much too much wanted to do Political Economy in Sydney (but boy did...

I apologise if I'm come across as a tad too cynical, try not to take anything I say too seriously, it's all a bit tongue-in-cheek. Yes, P.E does seem unashamedly to 'indoctrinate' its students, but it only seems this way because the essence of the course is to challenge the dominant school of...

Yes there is a 'fine arts' course at Sydney Uni's "Sydney College of the Arts" at Rozelle, apparently a fine, close knit campus in historical grounds by the water (sadly, never been there myself). COFA (UNSW), in paddington, is very hip, urbane, that sort of thing, and also has B. Design, and...

I actually don't do law myself, only posted here cos you were keen on P.E, but as for the commute, for combined law, law classes are held on the main campus for years 1-3, then years 4-5 are spent at the st james law school. However, as you may know, the law school will eventually move to the...

There's really no 'type' that fits in, USyd is a lot more diverse than people make it out to be, and if anything, 'lefties' dominate student politics. That said, it's not a living, walking advertisement for multicultural, egalitarian Australia or anything, that's not to say there's no ethnics or...

If you're looking to major in Political Economy, then on that basis, come to Sydney. Between Sydney and UNSW, Sydney is the original, is definitely more established, UNSW was only started up a couple of years ago, and in a way it's a 'satellite' centre to spread the goodness of Political Economy...

Oh and better hair, it's like he's made a quantum leap from long, pseudo-rebel-grunge locks, to ralph lauren model (see the inside cover last month's (sydney) magazine).

It's the cheekbones I think that do it for him.

Was that the only question available? is bradon ellem running it this semester? he's tops, a great lecturer to have for first year

What were the questions/what question did you do?

Anyone presenting a seminar on Savings, Investment and Growth this week? And what question is everyone doing? *Feels anxious*

Very awesome. Anyone read the sun herald today? They interviewed people after the concert, and god they chose the shittiest people - "I didn't realise he was such a great guitarist", "John Mayer needs a haircut"... and the insinuation that he did play 'more of his greatest hits', and that...

oh god haha took me a while to get that, yeah, great signs, how'd you get them? Also tee shirts were such a rip. That didnt stop me from buying too. I wish i'd got the hat though, they dont have them at the official store like i thought they would.

zomg john mayer! slightly disappointed he didn't play neon, and am even more greatful that he changed the setlist back at the enmore last year...

Surely you are by now... and agreed, Village Sessions is awesome... ... wonder if you're mid-concert winkaffair was enough to make ms simpson jealous. if only he remembered that you'd previously talked too..
