    Theatre Thread!

    Whoops! Freudian slip there! Haha. My sister just noticed it and that just made my evening. johony, that's something the YAP really has to work on. Cate's husband, Andrew Upton, sat in on one of our previous meetings (in fact, I sat next to him!) and he said that the limited curriculum of...

    Theatre Thread!

    johony, Not sure if you know this, but they recently added a few more shoes to the Sydney run for A Streetcar Named Desire. It sold out soon enough though. I'm on the Sydney Theatre Company's Youth Advisory Panel at the moment and we're trying to come up with new ideas to get more young...

    is my WAM and gpa bad or average or good?

    I can't think in GPA scores, but your WAM is fine. It's a credit average, and it's quite close to a distinction...so, make of that what you will.

    Textbook whinge

    HOLY CRAP. I just looked up this website for the English texts I need next semester and it is the best deal by far. For example, I need Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep. Doing a price comparison (of exactly the same book with the same ISBN): Bookdepository.co.uk - £4.51 (AU$9.24) plus free...

    Question abt marks

    That makes sense. So...does anyone know if the Arts faculty uses GPA or WAM? I couldn't find anything specifically on that on the website, it also does talk about credit and distinction averages (Credit Average - Faculty of Arts - The University of Sydney) based on averaging the percentage...

    Predictions and Results (Semester 1 2009)

    Well, I got the marks I deserved, so I don't have a re-mark in mind. But I would still like to see where I went wrong. I emailed my English tutor and he was very helpful, giving me quite extensive comments. But is it worth looking at the actual paper? Is it like in the HSC English major works...

    Question abt marks

    Can I just clarify this: is our final exam mark a percentile or a scaled grade? How about for regular assignments like English essays?

    Predictions and Results (Semester 1 2009)

    Is it possible to get a breakdown of our marks? Also, is it worth trying to get back my exam papers to see where I went wrong--do the markers write on it at all or like underline stuff?

    Any tips on how to choose IT units for a BA?

    I've spoken to the IT and the MECO UG advisors, but they didn't know anything about it. Then, I spoke the the Arts faculty and was told to email the Arts UG coordinator and that did the trick. All this was done on phone, so it really saved me walking. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this...

    Any tips on how to choose IT units for a BA?

    Thanks withoutaface. I'm doing only one IT unit as I can only one one non-arts unit in the semester. I put in INFO1003 for next semester. I wonder if it's the right one for me though. The handbook says it cover internet systems and spreadsheets, which sounds a bit basic. Am I misreading it? On...

    Which cut off do I use as a guide for the mid-year admissions? 2008 Main round or 09?

    Re: Which cut off do I use as a guide for the mid-year admissions? 2008 Main round or Whether you're applying at the end of the year or for mid-year admissions, you should still rank your options according to how much you want to enter each course, not whether you think you'll get in.

    The hell of group work at uni

    I've been very lucky so far. Since I started uni, I have done group work 3 times--French, English and History. History was tough to organise since there were 7 people. But it was just a great vibe working with enthusiastic people. Even those quiet ones eventually took the lead of the excited...

    WRIT1002 Academic Writing

    I was considering doing this unit for the easy marks, but as one reviewer mentioned, it might not be that easy after all. Plus, it sounds like your soul would die just doing it.

    Any tips on how to choose IT units for a BA?

    I'm in my first year for BA (Media and Communications). For a time, I considered doing and IT degree because I love working with and around the Internet. Then, when I realised that the arts are my first love, I sort of abandoned that line of thought...until a friend suggested I could do an IT...
