I don't post much but use bos to procrastinate or when i really am bored. As to GenEds, well i do psych as my major and 1st yr psych can also be offered as a gened. Word of caution though, it's interesting but requires a lot of contact hours. From memory it's 4-5 hrs a week. 3 lects, an...

It's called group think and group polarisation.

Oh ok. Well that seems rather silly. It's giving publicity for the site and it would make students curious about the info on the website. But i guess they probably had to issue that warning in case students complained to teachers or the Board of Studies about their mark.

Just curious but what have the Board of Studies done in the past?

Minai, how did it go?

1 time for the ppl here's what i know Ok this is diverging from the original topic of the conversation but anyway, but from what i know, what makes USyd distinct from other unis is it's teaching of economics- that it offers Political Economy. There was a division in USyds economics faculty...

Don't u get a formula sheet with at least some of the formulas?

Lol... yep, they like to attract the best students! Also the handbook is another usefule source of information www.handbook.unsw.edu.au If u go the the specialisations section and look up ecnomics, econometrics etc, u can see the exact courses required and also a description of what...

Haha, ok as i said i could be wrong. But currently how AWA's work, an employee is given a 14 day period in which he/she can decide whether to sign or not. I'm assuming that the employee would turn to the union to see whether or not the AWA on offer is reasonable. Or an employee couldn't be...

Scared i'll be repeating the subject next semester. But i guess my marks reflect my effort so i'm prepared to do the subject again if i fail.

I thought the employer would still need to provide a reasonable response as to why he/she would fire the employee? As you mentioned in a previous post, an employer could sack someone due to marital status, however, wouldn't anti-discrimmination laws still apply? Having said that, an employer...

Ok, well how would it affect ur average sales assistant working at target or coles? Would the changes be of significant impact or will the reforms have a minor impact? That's just an example. Like what we're saying now is speculation there's not enough info out there on the impact of changes...

I don't think there's enough info out there to judge what the consequences will be and so the issue isn't really one which is at the forefront of ppl's minds. For starters here;s a few questions i have which i hope someone here may provide answers to. Which industries will be affectd and...

My definition comes from 2u high school religion. I still remember it becuase it was a simple definition for what religion is :o If you confine religion as beliefs based on God or Gods, then you limit your understanding as to what religion is. Afterall, if that's the case, then religions...

This may be stating the obvious but wouldn't vitamic C tablets help combat scurvy? They cost appx $5 for 100 tablets at your local coles, woolies or franklins. As to volunteering to be a guinea pig, well there are other alternatives. Sometimes you can get remunerated for participating...

There's always been an underlying element of religious influence in Aust history. You only have to look back at the early laws (18th, 19th century) regarding drinking, gambling, recreational activities and the push for a temperance society. As for the use of religion for political gain...

I guess it really depends. If you're interested in studying Economics at UNSW and intend on pursuing a career in economics i would suggest B.Economics over B. Commerce. On a sidenote, i just had a look at my undergrad course guide and you can do an Econometrics major in B. Comm. IAlso f u...

With UNSW degrees there is a difference if u major in Economics in a Commerce or Economics degree. If u major in economics within a B Ec degree, there are more core subjects. You have to do intro econometrics. A B. Ec degree gives requires you to do at least 1 of following economic majors...

Well you should be able to handle the first stats course in psych. From what i hear it 3rd year psych stats is much harder. Soo... what's your decision so far regarding transferring?

Unfortunately, if you really want to do Psych, you can't escape from numbers. Stats is a core subject. Edit: You MIGHT be able to overcome this if you do a psych major as part of the Arts component of a combined degree. Best thing to do is check with your faculty. Also check that Psych will...
