Census date is 31 August, so you can still withdraw without academic or financial penalty. I think to defer you have to go to your faculty office and fill out a form to temporarily suspend your candidature, but I could be wrong.

Personally, I hated 'rubric'.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! True. We shouldn't really think of it as confirmed, then. (Although its absence from the Arts list doesn't tell us that it's staying in EcBiz either, since the Arts list is missing a number of other subjects, like Latin.)

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! My geopolitics tutor mentioned that GOVT was moving into Arts from next year. Don't know about ECOP, I've only heard about it on BoS. But if economics and business is getting rid of GOVT it probably isn't too much of a leap for it to get rid of ECOP as well.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Yo dudes. If anyone in the arts faculty wants to take a look at the units available for next year, I managed to find them. I don't think it's complete yet (judging by the absence of GOVT and ECOP, which are meant to be moving to Arts), and there are some errors I...

Labor's new ad on interest rates is here. Starts airing tonight, apparently. I find it sort of amusing that using grabs from Howard press conferences means they have to put 'Spoken by John Howard' in the authorisation card at the end. Edit: And another.

History or Ancient History, and Government and International Relations. That's the plan, anyway. Although I'm descending into indecision because I'd like to do archaeology as well, and I don't have enough space in my degree to do a triple major.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/07/1998232.htm Woo, irony. Richardson says that he employed the guy as a subcontractor and therefore that Gebert should have got an ABN and invoiced him. And "the quality of work wasn't up to standard". Which means that he shouldn't have to pay him, right?

China. And ditto on the lecture. Why did he need to tell us about how atomic bombs work?

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! My archaeology lecturer is marking attendance at lectures from this week onwards. God, that's dictatorial.

It's not Wikipedia in general that's on the list. It's the Wikipedia pages about how Wikipedia works, and the ideas behind Wikipedia. Which are not entirely without merit for looking at 'the global village'.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread! Mine's working. Least it was two minutes ago. I win. :)

Apparently the lecturer in GEOS1003 has said that there'll be a WebCT site, but it's not up yet. So maybe it's just that uni IT are more incompetent than anyone imagined. Someone asked Jemima about it in my tute, but from the way she stumbled around the answer it looked to me like she didn't...

At what university? In what degree?

Yahoo Answers? Great, we can have our politicians grilled by all the insightful, politically aware 13-year-olds worried about why they don't have a girlfriend.

Which topic are you doing?

It's probably from the thing you went to. The TSP is the Science Faculty's program for high-achieving students, so presumably they got the list from the earlier open day and assumed that a decent portion of the people who went will be interested in studying science. Pretty much. There's nothing...

Agree with that. Also, 'the Ombudsman will investigate it' or whatever doesn't equate to 'the Ombudsman has the power to do something about it' or 'employers are forbidden to do it'. The latest ACTU ad talks a bit about the removal of unfair dismissal protections, which we haven't heard much...

Re: First Preferences? You still have two months.

The ACTU does have another set of (reasonably effective) ads on now, though. Trying to counter Barbara "No, seriously, we're informing the public. About how the Coalition is awesome" Bennett's ads, I suppose.
