Re: BoS USyd Roll Call 2007! Triangulum Bachelor of Arts I (Almost certainly, unless Law drops by 5 points or Arts goes up by 11. Fat chance.) EDIT: Now confirmed, so it's all good.

Revise in a Month Chemistry, for what it's worth, is pretty bad. It goes into more detail than necessary for a lot of things (ethanol especially) and then doesn't give enough detail for other bits. I also thought that its revision questions didn't really test the key things you need to know, so...

3: From what I recall from a friend who was thinking about BA/BEd, you do two junior Education units and six junior Arts units in first year. Some of the Arts units have to be from particular disciplines of teaching. The details will probably be in the degree resolutions at the back of the...

Take a look at the degree information here. Judging by the sample programs of study, you can do three majors including one from the Arts faculty, so I'd say you can do a language if you want.

Enrolment goes over several days, but you don't get a choice as to when you go. Each course has a scheduled time.

Really? It matters so much that it heavily influences your university choice?

That said, if you want more background, different explanations, or more options for revision, there can't be any harm in buying another textbook as well.

I don't think there's any such thing as too broad - you should base your decision on what you think you can manage. I don't think whether he did much good for the Chinese people is necessarily too large to be manageable, although you might want to constrict it to a specific time period. If you...

My advice is don't worry about it. We used Unlocking the Past for preliminary and it's perfectly fine - especially since the Preliminary course is pretty much totally non-specified in the syllabus, so the teacher is really in charge of designing what you do, within parameters. This might change...

You could try looking at the part of Mao's life that had the greatest impact on Jung - the Cultural Revolution, during which her parents were denounced. That would probably be the most obvious area to focus on, since you could examine how her and her parents' experiences directly inform and...

I don't think it's too important to have historiography for WWI. (Or, I'd argue, for anything, because in my view use of historiography in Modern tends to be totally superficial and adds nothing to the essay. But that's just my pet hate, so ignore it.) You're not writing an enormous amount for...

The absolute minimum UAI for a Merit scholarship is 95, but it's based on other things like co-curricular activities, leadership, achievements at school, community service, yada yada yada, so an astronomical UAI isn't a guarantee you'll get one - but it obviously makes it a lot easier. I have...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma as to whether to pick an Arts degree or an International Studies degree. (Typical of me to be settled in a choice and then get indecisive at the last minute. Heh.) In a BA I'd be planning to do history, ancient history, government/IR and junior archaeology, in a BIntSt...

You can do a language within the normal BComm as an additional major. From here:

I believe that for a major you have to do some cultural units, although it might vary between different languages and different proficiency streams. You might be able to find the details on the websites of the appropriate departments.

For my AOS, which was imaginative journeys, I used the poems of Coleridge, the cover of The Ivory Trail and a picture book. I ended up going pretty well in the AOS. My overall Eng Adv mark was 83, brought down mainly by Module C. I don't think that you'll be disadvantaged by a non-conventional...

76, say, as a raw mark does not necessarily equate to a Band 4. Bands are described by performance descriptions, like 'displays excellent/very good/good/poor ability to do blah blah blah'. Your school may mark harshly or easily, so the BOS can't just take a 76 in an assessment and say 'This is...

I think that could come under the syllabus guidelines of "a historian’s or archaeologist’s work", "contrasting approaches to a historical personality, issue or event" or "critical analysis of a major historical work", so I think you're right with your topic area. Depends when your proposal...

Why doesn't SUV let you pick your roommates? I've wondered that since I first read about it. I'd be far more interested in it if I could get a group of my friends together in a three or five bedroom apartment rather than having to enter the roommate lottery.

I have a feeling that the syllabus forbids you from doing your major project on something substantially covered in a current or previous course - so if you have an overlap with Ancient History it might not be allowed. See if you can find it in the syllabus. That said, I like both of the...
