yes, you will need an access card to join any club or society (the only exceptions to my knowledge are faculty societies eg. Arts or Law etc). As well as the locations in funnytomato's links during o-week (ie. for tomorrow), there is a large white tent set up on eastern avenue (opposite law...

payday is definitely a good day! I've had three weeks off from my job so it will be good to go back next week and start earning some money again. Thankfully my textbooks only cost about $250 this semester - which is very low for law.

well if you get involved in mooting etc you'll get over the nerves I think. However there are hardly any (at used in any case) assessments which require you speak in front of a large audience. The only aspect is class participation (generally worth 10%) but its not like you have to stand at the...

I think it is up the each faculty as to exactly what policy they have for bell curving/what percentages they can give out For example, in Law at USYD: "4.1 No more than 40% of the students may receive a grade of D or above. 4.2 The range of HD grades must be between 3-10% of the total...

Awesome thanks! I can just use my old access number to sign up for stuff then until I collect my new card. :)

yeah I was considering this. Although its probably only worth it if I get in early. I suspect the queues will be just as bad later in the day :( It's just seems like so much effort.

Sorry I didn't see meat anyone today! I didn't stay very long at o-week - just joined the orchestra again and saw all the college fresh get completely soaked because none of them seemed to have umbrellas. That and the amusing moments of watching first years attempt to walk around campus (in the...

Sorry I won't make it at 9am - probably won't be going until about lunchtime.

no i haven't...i'm going to try to visit o-week at some point, so its possible I'll come to whatever is being organised in the meat thread though :) first o-week in many years where I'm not on a stall! shame its raining though. It always seems to always rain for o-week.

Just because you are a bit shy now, doesn't mean you always will be. 5 years at uni is a long time, and you can work on those sort of aspects. Saying that, I don't think being shy means you shouldn't study law. Most corporate lawyers sit at a desk all day and do their work. Many corporate...

i'm not sure why this would be, but anyway... (to be honest most of the stuff I collect at o-week ends up going in the bin by the end of the week). Not necessarily free, but things you may be carrying home by the end of the day: - if you purchase an access card you will get an access bag with...

Just a quick query - at most universities you are required to combine another degree with law. I only know of UTS that offers just a straight law degree for undergraduates and that takes 4 years (so only one year less than doing a combined degree). What else would you combine law with...

If you have activated it/ have money on it, then yes you can use your debit card to purchase an access card. I have never activated the visa functionality on my student card - when I originally looked into it there were very few ways of putting money on it that didn't cost. I just use my normal...

It depends on the individual lecturer. No lecturer is required to put up their powerpoint slides or notes. Most do put up their power points if they use them, however in my personal experience, my lecturers have always tended to put the slides up after the lecture. Some put them up before. I've...

To be honest I don't think this is the norm at most universities. UNE has the majority of its students studying externally, so most of the content/the lecture is posted online for those students who don't physically attend class (which to my knowledge can be around 75% of the student studying...

It is very common for no readings to be set in week 1. Generally tutorials don't run in first week, so there are no readings set. Lecturers also know that students are still trying to get textbooks/readers etc and so generally don't set readings for the first class (or week 1 in general)- this...

Is that the introductory latin course? If so it is very intense (especially if you have no latin background). You get almost to HSC standard (in terms of grammar etc) by the end of the year. Since you have studied languages you may find it alright in terms of grammar etc but I (and many others...

im my experience (every lecturer is different), lecture notes are more likely to be one page dot points or extracts of quotes or cases etc. It will give you an idea of what the lecture included, but it is unlikely to give you all the specific information that was given. It is not just a copy of...
