    ALP to abolish full-fee places

    I think it's a bit of a catch 22, because no matter how many extra places are (potentially) created as a result of allowing the full fee paying system, there will always be students below the HECS cut-off but who have performed better than full fee payers who will miss out despite, arguably...

    100 UAI, 4 state rankings - English (Advanced), EE1, EE2 and Ext. History tutoring

    hmm.. does this mean if a person were to provide a tutoring service in the library its illegal, or if the library itself directly provides a tutoring service, is it this service which is illegal? (given that the service is 'unfairly competitive with the private sector') Which begs another...

    Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Looking forward to this semester, I've been wasting away towards the end of these holidays, and my subjects appear to be a bit more interesting than last semester. Not too worried about metrics, accounting or macro, though I'm unsure about claw2201, anyone know...

    Which Commerce/Business Degree for the Entrepreneurally inclined...??

    I don't think you can learn to be an entrepeneur really, I guess what you would want a tertiary education to provide you with is an understanding of the economy/business world. So that you could work within the business environment and operate in such a way to, i suppose, make a shitload of...

    ALP to abolish full-fee places

    This is a terrible idea, and as you just said, it would backfire to a certain extent - if a full fee paying student completed the exact same program as a hecs student, why should he be awarded an apparently lesser degree? More to the point, why do you think this is a good idea? There's no point...

    Accounting Yr 1 Question- Cash basis vs Accrual Basis

    lol I remember seeing that first semester. But I won't answer it for you, you should really do your own homework, just read the textbook and think about it for a while.

    Results: Semester 1, 2006

    If you need it for accounting or a business law major then do it again, but if not, forget about it. It would be so boring to do it again, since it wasnt that exciting the first time around..

    Options for Economics Students

    Not every career path involves CA/CPA seremify... also honours helps in 'landing' that good graduate position, particularly when you're not doing combined law or a double degree (note that there are other, perhaps more important, reasons for doing honours)

    Options for Economics Students

    I'm studying Economics at Sydney, with a view to major in Economics and Finance, while keeping the option to do the CA program open at the same time. At the moment I'm considering several options, either at an investment bank, Big4 or at a consultancy - I'm not too interested in working at a...

    Advice needed: Double degree vs. Finance vs. Accounting vs. Acturial

    See how you go, but provided you get the results go do Commerce/Law, you can choose your major/s after first year and elect to drop the law part of your program if you a) don't like it or b) want to get into the industry faster. As long as you get good results and some good work experience you...
