    Comments on your exams so far?

    I'm dreading Biology.. all those phyla and phytochromes are spinning me out. We get 65 multiple choice.. which is horrible because last year some questions had 2 answers exactly the same, some had more than one right choice and some had spelling mistakes so bad that it was unreadable...

    Comments on your exams so far?

    Just got back from the Legal System and Method exam. I ended early, so spent the last 30 minutes of the exam thinking I hadn't written enough.. I hate that.

    Who is going to Newcastle Uni?

    That makes three people prepared to castrate Gary. That's more than enough. Who will do the honours?

    hsc related suicides, iv heard about 20 this year

    There's too much generalisation going on here.. The majority of you are fabricating reasons as to why these people took their own lives. Do you know who they are? Their names? Backgrounds? Emotional status? You can't just hear that "a person killed themselves during year 12" and immediately...

    Is it possible to do well in the HSC without knowing an ounce of Programming?

    You need to know pseudo code and flowcharts, and you'll need to know some sort of programming language (VB, C++, etc.) in order to complete your major project. Pseudo code is not that hard, a good textbook will simplify it for you. :)

    Do you guys study with ...

    I need music.. but it has to be something soothing, like E.S. Posthumus.

    failing a subject at uni, does not make u dumb

    hipsta_jess is right. I went to a public school as well, and was never pushed to do well. At the start of the year I had to adjust to the fact that I wouldn't get HD's for science and law, which was fine. But I think I've put the same amount of effort in as last year (if not more) and even now I...

    How many subjects do you do?

    Four: 10, 10, 20, 20 credit points (20's go over the whole year, so it's technically the standard amount)

    How u uni ppl take notes while the letucer talks?

    I have the worst memory.. I need to write down everything. Even if it's written down right in front of me on the lecture notes.. if I don't write it, I won't remember it.

    Criminal Law

    So Contracts is in your first year course? I wonder why ours is reversed... is Contracts difficult?

    Getting Our HSC Results

    The SMS last year for me was about an hour late (10am). I don't know if this was the same for others, but I didn't like waiting, so I ended up just using the internet.

    Forensic Science

    I'm not at UNSW, but if you're heading for the laboratory side of forensic science, Chemistry is essential. Everything is spectroscopy, NMR and the like, so you'd probably be looking at a few years of Chemistry-related subjects. However, there are also jobs like Forensic Lawyer and Forensic...

    umat/ medicine at Newcastle

    Shortland rules. That's all there is to say.

    Criminal Law

    We use Criminal Laws (2001) by Brown, Farrier, Egger and McNamara. I don't like it though.. it's 1500 pages of dribble, if you ask me. It's good for caselaw, but not good for trying to understand the basics.

    The Literal Rule of Statutory Interpretation...

    It probably wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't fiction. Crazy law. :p
