    Word limit 1500 words.

    It should say in your unit guide if there is a penalty. But usually it is 10% either side of the word limit that is the most/least you can do.

    What do u hate about MAQ

    Cant say Ive ever had a lecturer who makes people move to fit someone in!! Have to agree with people sleeping in the library being really annoying..

    Which lectures are compulsory to attend in my first semester units?
