    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    Re: Subject Reviews Blasphemy! I don't wish to dismiss your views because that would be as narrow-minded as what you've written. Your points have some validity but regardless of crossover between lectures and the textbook, listening to Frank is a lot more stimulating and engaging than...

    Arts or Commerce?

    I stand corrected of course, but 'falling back on law' is vastly different to 'falling back on 12 units'. It's probably best that you disregard that phrase 'falling back on law' - instead of thinking in those terms, consider a legal qualifcation as a spare key that keeps options in the legal...

    French Honours

    Yes, you should be able to do your Honours year at Sydney instead, though I'm not the best authority on this. Whether or not you'd need to complete the pre-honours units, I don't know. Check out this site, and get in touch with the French honours co-ordinator below...

    how do you save money?>

    Set aside 100 for the fortnight, a bit for the credit card, the rest to ING. Then I starve if I run out of money. To prevent splurges, I think of the 9 other shirts I could buy and the bonus holiday in another part of the world, namely Asia, if I set aside that money, thanks to the favourable...

    yearbook publishers

    We were marketed to by Rockstar Memoirs but opted for something cheaper, the same company that did the School Journals, that is, St. George Instant Print, for what was essentially the same product, except for softcover instead of hard. If your school publishes a separate school journal, get your...

    Arts or Commerce?

    @The_Apprentice - I got the impression that you were somewhat...aghast at my comments, but just to clarify, the implication was that Arts students were more interesting than Commerce students. @Lainee - if you were referring to my comments then, yeah, they were like, totally said in jest...

    Work 1003

    Wasnt it Marian Baird who did the lectures on Performance analysis or something, the one week and Bradon didnt take them? Friends told me they didnt bother coming to the second hour. And, if Sirius_G is right (which he probably is) about the more unitarist flavour next semester, if you're...

    Arts or Commerce?

    haha @bobness, good point, but I'd imagine the law component would override the arts one. of course, those responses are only reflective of the women at my (old) workplace, but they ring true, don't they? @lala2, theoretically yes, with a single BA, but not with combined law, because the law...

    Journalism

    Heaps of ABC journos graduated from CSU, the Herald is closely affiliated with UTS, and er, apparently the Daily Telegraph draws most of its recruits from UWS (I forgot my source)........................... go figure That said, make sure your girlfriend is certain that she wants to be a...

    Arts or Commerce?

    Better still, go ask women who they'd go out with, and even marry - the Arts graduate, or the Commerce graduate? Oh, and try not to make the mistake of assuming you'll get into Combined Law, unless you're willing to compromise (i.e.: go to Macquarie, ANU, or, lo and behold, UWS). From my own...

    Arts or Commerce?

    This question goes to the very core what you values you hold dear: Minimal class time = Arts Something employable = Commerce Something enjoyable = Arts Asian background = Commerce Socialist = Arts Capitalist = Commerce Rigid Course Struture with units specified = Commerce Freedom to do...

    1st year units yo

    Haven't done it myself, but from what I've heard, it's not the difficulty (I think it's actually quite easy), but rather the sheet inanity of it.

    Work 1003

    Oh, assessments were okay, except the Commentary question can be a bit vague. It's easy to rip the tute presentation, you don't have to correct, you just have show conviction and be engaging (i.e: controversial and entertaining). Essay was only 1500, and if you're doing ECOP, it's very easy...

    Work 1003

    The WORK1003 lectures are repeated (well they were anyway this semester), but as it seems, they won't be next semester. Bradon Ellem is a great lecturer and he does put slides up beforehand each week, and doing the readings should suffice for catching up. Even with the exam still to come, I...

    Asns1002

    Trying to decide whether I should do this - anyone happen to have the Unit outline? I'm trying to choose three out of: PHIL1010 Society, Knowledge and Reason ECOP1003 International Economy and Finance and of course, ASNS1002

    PHIL2642 Critical Thinking

    Hmm. Inspiring. I'll take note.

    PHIL2642 Critical Thinking

    Just stumbled upon this, seems to be a hidden gem tucked away in the later pages of the handbook... Anyone taken up this unit? Any reason why a first year with no previous experience of Philopsophy shouldn't take it? I'm almost sold...

    Political Economy imminent shutdown

    Actually, I need to correct myself first - I probably used the wrong words then, but there will be an increased focus on business management and significantly less on economic and social inquiry. Sure, it might be good for job prospects, but narrowing the range of units taught does nothing for...

    Political Economy imminent shutdown

    http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ecopsoc/ Isn't it ironic that it's part of 'Finance'?
