hehe funny story...I'm not allowed to ski (i had a knee reconstruction), so i was all like meh, why join a ski society? Then someone very politely explained to me that no1 actually joins subski to *ski* :p But at that point i'd joined 9societies already and decided I'd see how i'd go. Glad i...

The whole point of uni life is to cater for all the possible interests there could be - social, sport, political, religious etc... As a cross-section of society, how religious do u think society is? That's how religious is uni :rolleyes: Sure the EU has posters advocating their bbq's and...

I did that. Our teacher didnt really advocate we learn a case study - just learn everything else. Well, i mean i crammed China info coz i'd been collecting info on it all year for another eco assignment, but i was 99% sure i would not write on it.

Rukawasan...if you're sooo obsessed with unsw...shhhh, it makes it easier to get in if you keep the overwhelming advantages of the chicks secret :rolleyes:

They wont ask u a question on a specific country!!! If they do ask casestudy it'll be something like "what have been the impacts/responses of a country other than australia to globalisation"

Yes...shows knowledge and understanding, and if u're at a complete loss about what to write, can usually fill a good few pages relating token economic theory/policy etc to current state of affairs! :D Not requiring u to memorise all the stats for the day of the exam, but know general trends...

What kind of party is it...? How come they were helping you?

lecturers tend to rotate or may lecture at various unis concurrently. Just like school teachers its not easy to comment on the state of the teaching as a whole - it's luck of the draw. The economics faculty always has rotating, visiting teachers from overseas, which although good (they're...

Try get into agricultural economics at usyd. They get to do accounting, economics, metrics etc (compulsory commerce subjects) and can later try to transfer...

hehe i banked on not needing to write on ESD last year as well. Thankfully i was saved. I can't really see there being sufficient material to consider it beyond a short answer question. But hey, as long as you know everything else solidly, u can afford to leave out 1 topic (essay wise...they...

:D Finance yay! I'm half way there then...:p Frigid: yeah Ron McCallum is blind. Absolutely incredible once u consider the amount of reading material he would have had to have gotten in braille!!! He's really amazing!!! When he rang me he pronounced my name wrong, so he apologises and...

*sigh* what an original proposition. Basically they're pretty much as good as u can get. Question the people who say that as to *why* they're not good. I'll comment once i have some specific criticisms to direct my energies towards :p

Lol thanks. The invaluable minai stamp of endorsement! ;) :D

5 law subjs??? I'd only have contracts and crim.

Well contracts is such a compelling subject, how can u be anything but exuberant in it? :p haha yeah asq - class participation saved me last semester. It got to a stage though where if there was a lull in discussion my corner would just look at me and go "do something"...:rolleyes: Such...

They're usually pretty integrative - something that allows u to show the full extent of ur knowledge and relate the different components of the economics syllabus, as well as allow the better students to show their understanding and appreciation of what's actually happening. keep in mind...

hehehe you go da monstar! :p We did in Legal I! I got into an argument with a really good friend of mine...and for some bizarre reason all these people in *other* classes knew about it and were discussing it...:confused: Oh well...better to be talked about than to not be talked about...

I think knowing the % of GDP is far more important. The problem of unsustainabiliy is derived from CAD exceeding 5% of GDP rather than some arbitrary nominal figure. I think its at about 6% at the moment?

To clarify - when i said maths was important before, i didn't mean that law exams regularly require you to differentiate. Just in terms of thinking though - a lot of logical processes are related more to mathematical thinking than english. But then again, innovation to get around precedents etc...

I think being good at maths is also helpful. A lot of law is logic and being able to draw inductive/deductive conclusions.
