She probably means the prospectus (or so I would imagine, since she's still in high school). It's available online at: Undergraduate Prospectus - About the University - The University of Sydney. If you want a hard copy (highly recommended since multiple PDFs don't make for easy reference), you...

Glad you found them useful. I definitely think you're asking some of the right questions in deciding if journalism is the best path. Remember, though, that journalism is as much a process as it is the act of writing. A journalist would have to research/investigate a topic, interview people (are...

Yeah, my MECO lecturer doesn't record it or put up the slides either. For English, they refuse to record it (their excuse was that their interpretation was only one of many possible ones, though I'm not sure how not recording it would helps their argument) and the slides are kinda bare, so they...

My bad, though arguably at USYD, Media and Communication is your course, not you degree, since you would major in it. Any reason you're up so late/early? I....need to get through my readings. Gah it's too late and I'm not thinking straight.

http://community.boredofstudies.org/586/general-university-discussion/199530/best-uni-journalism.html The general consensus is that CSU is the best university for journalism, UTS the best university of journalism in Sydney and that USYD mixes more theory into the course. Personally, I put USYD...

Yeah, it does seem like a job application, doesn't it. In case anyone is interested, you should compile a list of anything you've done that's relevant, but they don't actually examine your work specifically. That is, say you've written 3 articles for your local paper. You would list and describe...

I definitely think they're worth it. In my experience, open days show you other options that you may not have thought of or found out about otherwise. And since you've already booked your flight, you might as well make the best of it. Check up about everything from the different courses that...

Just a quick reminder to anyone interested in trying out for flexible entry in this course. If you think that there's a chance you may not make the cut-off, start preparing your portfolio now! Just writing, find an internship, anything that you can manage while studying for the HSC. You might...

I personally think BSc/BA is a great option. I know quite a few people doing it who are enjoying it. It opens up many options in the future and gives you a well-rounded education. I'm not sure if this combined degree would give a direct pathway to a specific career, but that's the great thing...

http://community.boredofstudies.org/590/general-university-sydney/95874/subject-reviews-pdf-updated-17-01-09-a.html - Look up HSTY1044 - plenty of reviews there. You can change into a new unit from now until Friday, 7 August - Key Dates for Variations of Enrolment - The University of Sydney.

If you are really going to photocopy the whole textbook, don't do it at uni.

I don't mind it too much. In my introductions, I say my name and then I say what a huge movie buff I am and that I've watched almost 500 films since 2006 and that I live on IMDB. It's totally random, but at least it opens up doors to conversations and at the same time, it's not too personal, you...

Well, it might not be too late to pick up a science, but if you want to do so, you'd better speak to someone at the school quick. You'll have a lot of catching up to do, and you may have to prove that you can handle this late change. As for repeating, don't do that to yourself. You don't...

Well, I don't do that IT unit, but anyway, the one that I do, Introduction to Programming, doesn't record lectures either. But...isn't it kind of a waste not to attend lectures? You are paying a lot of money just to be there.

We don't know that. Maybe ptrgrgry made a bad choice during HSC subject selections or just didn't know which direction to take. Anyway, ptrgrgry, you should probably post this question at a more specific forum (like this: Science/Engineering - Bored of Studies). Also, just think of some unis...

Really? How so?

I have only a three-day week this semester, and two of those days start at or after 12pm. (With the other day, it's a bit flexible, so I could come in earlier or later if I wish). Anyway, don't really think it's that much of a problem. It does feel weird to roll out of bed so late, but since I'm...

skut8, I got my books (English novels) this semester from BookDepository.co.uk and spent AU$47 in all. It would have cost me $75.33 at Co-op, even after the 10% discount. I do love the free shipping, and within a few days of my order, I got my first book in the mail. The only thing is that the...

I think the main difference is time period. From what I understand, HSTY1044 covers things like WWII, Germany, the Cold War, etc--so it seems much more political than HSTY1034, which looks like it covers the "everyday histories" of the people. Anyway, you could email the course coordinators if...

JPO, from what I've been reading, the Arts faculty uses the numerical marks. In terms of a credit being offset by a HD, I think it's because if you take average the two marks (numerically), it will come in between to give you a distinction. For example, if two of your scores were 65 (the bare...
