    Arts majors at Sydney uni

    For Media and Comms you have to do at least one major (other than the MECO units) and can optionally do a second. The first, compulsory major has to be from Part A, i.e. it has to be from within the Arts Faculty. The second, optional major can be from Part A or Part B, i.e. it can be from the...

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2010)

    there's nothing intrinsically wrong with restructuring. i think it's fair enough that they want to reduce the administration costs involved with having billions of tiny faculties like vet science, pharmacy and agriculture that could logically be components of larger faculties.

    Commonwealth Start Up & Relocation Scholarships

    i don't see how the legislation affects rural students at all? the whole point of the reforms is that you don't need to be classified as independent to get YA any more. originally the idea was that only a few people who were genuinely independent of their parents would be in that category, and...

    What do you hate about USyd

    the grass is usually unfenced, they just fence it every once in a while to give it a rest from being trampled on.

    Student ID cards

    they just reuse the photo from first year. (it's therefore extremely important to make sure you get a good photo when you enrol, because a bad one will haunt you throughout your degree. i realise that this should have been pointed out to first years before their enrolment day, but too late :p)

    Student ID cards

    i don't understand why first years are starting to get theirs already and continuing students have to wait a couple more weeks. since our enrolments are dealt with months in advance, why are our cards distributed at the last minute?

    Subject Selections 2010

    ?? I think this has got misinterpreted somewhere along the line. LATN1600 is combined with LATN2620 (for 2nd or 3rd-year undergrads) and LATN7001 (for postgrads). This allows people who are looking at doing honours or postgrad in ancient history to get the necessary ancient language skills...

    MyZone - New public transport ticketing

    wooo tickets to/from the blue mountains are cheaper. but for some stupid reason they're keeping the no concessions policy for any travelpass (now being renamed MyMulti) that goes for longer than a week. so concessions are still randomly not available for one type of ticket. weird. also on a...

    You have to pay for internet

    wrong! usyd only charges for access to external sites, i.e. ones outside the university network. however, almost anything that could be classified as 'research' on the internet is done through academic databases of various kinds. these are accessed through an internal proxy which gives them a...

    What do you hate about USyd

    campus isn't that dangerous, most of the main routes are pretty well-lit and there are usually a few people wandering around even in the late evening. security services has patrols that go around as well, so you shouldn't have any problems.

    plagiarism

    most policies are actually called 'academic dishonesty' or some variant rather than 'plagiarism', so the argument is about the wrong term anyway. it may not strictly be plagiarism to recycle your own work, but it is certainly academically dishonest to present work you did in a previous course as...
