Personal feelings aside, I don't see too much wrong with fee-paying students given the dire financial circumstances of our public universities, thus Labor's move is somewhat uncalled for. Claims of injustice and academic inferiority take care of themselves since fee-payers compete on equal level...

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Goals: - Meeting more randoms in lectures who turn out to be friends of friends - Venture out of the campus during breaks to discover the culinary world beyond Wentworth and Manning - Get an HD in ECOP1002 - Finally decide on whether to be politically active or not...

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread At this stage, all I'm looking forward to is getting my Arts (French) results from Semester ONE by the end of the scholastic year...

just heard the new release, 'waiting on a world to change' can't wait myself he better bring that tour down here too Didn't really get into the John Mayer Trio, seems like he's swept aside the title/concept of this band

Yeah that's what Kami means. I would've thought that AFTRS would've been the best option, it probably still is but I didn't realise it was a Graduate school. You're best bet would do some sort of media course, and the general consensus is that the best of these would be at either UTS or...

For languages, it 1 x 1hr lecture + 3 x 1hr tutes. I guess the idea is to learn the grammar in the lecture, and practice applying it through tutes. The resources, the composition of the intermediate stream and the actual tute lessons sound a lot like the seminars Macquarie and UTS have, only we...

Borderline marks hurt. Not like hell, more like a persistent itch that become more widespread the lower the mark.

Oh and for those who've only caught on this season, if you're still on hols and have got jack all to do, buy/rent/dl the first season and watch that too. The show however has been going from strength to strength and this season, albeit only the second one, has been the best to date

Agree with you all! My holidays have been so dull (not out of laziness, but because of brother's medical circumstance) that Grey's is all I look forward to every week... ... even being at a hospital didn't stop me from watching it this past month... in fact, it was weird, watching Grey's...

Final scene of last night's episode where Meredith, Izzy and George were all lying down underneath the Christmas tree was so poignant I wanted to hug the TV...

Quite the opposute - about 250 - 300 people in the one lecture learning the same basic grammar, but it is still possible to ask a question or two in this environment, if you're quick! Give or take a few, tutes on average have about 20 people, which is alright I suppose but they fill up when...

Despite the fact that it's in Chinatown?

Apologies, I'm embarassed, I totally am, guess I wasn't qualified to properly respond to this topic after all - but give me a break, i can't help it - I go to Sydney Uni after all, a neo-liberal institution where presumption can actually be more powerful than empiricism. We get told so much from...

Govermnment seem to have released them today, Sunday.

Political Economy released theirs today, surprisingly. Anyhow, I've been scraping through in my marks so far WORK1003: 85 HD (barely) ECOP 1001: 77 D (just) ... but I'm not complaining, not until French is released, which will be my undoing...

Yep, that's it for GOVT for 'First' year, because to do senior units you need to have done two junior units first. But because GOVT usually offers more than one junior unit each semester, it's possible to get your junior prereqs out of the way from the onset and get started on senior units...

As much as you can take because you always spend more when drunk.

I'm currently doing the exact same thing. The number of Arts subjects is limited not so much by the number of Political Economy and Government Units you do, but rather the Economics Faculty imposed limit - in the B. Eco. Soc. Sci., you can only do 60 Credit points, or 10 subjects/units that...

It's stupid how departments that held their exams in the first few days, namely Government and Political Economy, are taking longer to post up marks than those that held their exam on the second last day (i.e: WORK).

I cannot speak for UNSW or Mac but I'm sure their language departments are perfectly adequate. However, you can be assured that Sydney has the widest range of languages, and is superior in terms of resources... Sydney's language departments are generally the biggest in the state, possibly...
