    Question: Tutes first week?

    I dont know why they dont put up WebCT with all the units the Friday before semester so people can work out their classes in the first week via the course outlines. 9 am Monday.... might skip it if its not 100%

    MQ: On parking fees and life.

    Macquarie Centre is another 'únauthorised' alternative. I dont think MQ Uni and Mac Centre like it though.

    Question: Tutes first week?

    Does anyone know when WebCT will be available with unit outlines etc? Its just that I have 2 tuts on Monday morning and if its only available on Monday morning, it will be a difficult scenario of to just end up rocking up for uni for textbooks/readers and a few coffees. I am thinking LAW...

    CPS Enrolment today...

    Yeah the CPS system is very old fashioned and very time consuming. Last year, it took me from about 9 30 -5. I just thought I'll wait till next week for my student card. My difficulty arose from my HRM subjects not fitting in comfortably within another degree. Add in all the waiting and...

    Urgently wanting to know what Hist115, or possibly Hist114, are like

    I would just stay in POL165. It works with your timetable, keeps you in line with credit point restrictions and has no further hassle. I personally havent done it but people say it is very relevant to the domestic political scene. I am just starting my Politics major this year. 3...

    Labour Law Lecture: Useful or not?

    Hi all, I just need someone who has previously done Labour Law to let me know whether: (a) the lectures are compulsory? (b) the lectures are useful? Its the only thing I have on Thursdays and I need to work then. I sorta need to make a judgment call. Any help is much appreciated.

    chocolate cookie...... If you want the books new, you buy from the Co op. The same with notes. However, if you want them second had, you can buy off friends, people who put up flyers, textbook exchange sites

    Timetable 08 thread

    kevin...... Mate, many on here are just saying how they feel. Personally, I'd drop a few units or skip lectures (like I already do). I am trying hard not to criticise it however. The thing is that it practically stops you from gaining employment during the week as you are at uni 5 days a...

    Students claiming CPS (credit for previous studies)

    I transferred last year and enrolled really late. I think melsc says it best when she says "you will get disadvantaged in tutorial selection but people will drop out off subjects". Like melsc said, continually look just before the semester and in Week 1 as availability opens up whether...

    How big is the hole in your pocket? (2008 textbooks and materials)

    Effectively the payment would just be deferred until the completion of the uni degree. The Government wouldnt contribute in the long term as you would charge 100% still for the books. I think it is feasible. Or at worst, make it able to be paid in instalments. Its too big a burden at...

    How big is the hole in your pocket? (2008 textbooks and materials)

    I would offer the following advice to Kevin Rudd's 2020 summit. Allow students to put textbooks under HECS. $1000 a year is so difficult for students. Need to work ages to make that

    How big is the hole in your pocket? (2008 textbooks and materials)

    I advise people doing Business/Commerce/Economics/Law, that they buy the textbooks which are entitled as REQUIRED TEXTS and nothing more. Usually in these subjects, the lecturers will ONLY use the set text as the required reading for the course. If readings are outside the set textbooks...

    LAW427 - Trial Advocacy running in 08?

    I think they really need to review the LAW electives that they have on offer. Do they ever evaluate law electives in terms of running new subjects/discontinuing subjects as electives? Its pretty limited in scope when compared to other universities options. A lot of them seem overly...

    LAW427 - Trial Advocacy running in 08?

    Hey Melsc, I was just wondering if the convenor ever got back to you in relation to when the subject will be run next. It looks very interesting and I am hoping that unlike some of the other electives, it will not get cancelled and put back until after we finish uni.

    exam marking guidelines

    Marking criteria act as a guide, so I dont think it could be willy nilly. However, it can be subjective depending on the issues/topics. I think they are available for a period of time. You need to contact the course convenor though. In LAW, marking criteria is rather generic so they wont...
