Thats BS. They almost always round up - depending on the students performance overall (they might have gotten good marks in the assignment but stuffed up the exam), attendence/participation and also if there were large numbers of students failing by a small margin. It's basically just scaling of...

This. Except I dont have enough self control and start laughing. BTW I'm asian, born here and sound like a bogan.

Are you guys who do university law essays in 3-4 hours joking? Seriously, research, reading journal articles, referencing and writing the actual essay takes me about a week of working on the essay every night (say, 5 hours a night). I write the essay as I research though and procrastinate quite...

If you found first year commerce boring you will absolutely hate later year law subjects such as corporations law, equity and revenue/taxation law.

He most likley means accounting or finance. Everyone on this site believes these are the only two worthwhile majors :/ I have a major in HR Management, which complements a law degree very well i.e. almost all HR issues relate to legal regulation.

What does this mean? I didn't know it was possible to major in 'law' in an arts degree. There's no such thing as pre-law in Australia. Law at university starts from the very basics and everyone will be in the same position. It is also completely different to HSC legal studies. Law is a lot of...

Obviously your idea of what constitutes doing 'very little work' is different to others (including myself). If someone was to attend all lectures and tutorials I would see that person as someone who does a reasonable amount of work. People that go to lectures are generally those that work hard...

I'm doing HR & IR as my business major and I gotta say it's pretty interesting and very arts-like. There is no maths at all and it's all essays which I love. I chose business to combine with law because I thought it would be more useful than arts, but the HR major is practically like an arts...

That's a bit of an exaggeration. More like 40% of students get CREDITS. I'd say the most common grade (at any law school) would be a credit. There's no way 40% of students in a subject would get D's/HD's - maybe in later year law electives, but not for core subjects. I've found that when...

Like melsc said you will get use to the style of writing/assessments in law. I remember back in first year I thought intro to law was extremely hard as well lol... it gets much better in later years. Basically a C avg in uws law will guarantee entry in mac law at least. Heaps of my friends...

Go for it. If it's something like a sandwhich, chips, fruit, muesli bar, etc it should be fine. If you bring in maccas or some huge meal they will likely tell you off, depends on the lecturer. Edit: after a while you will probably just end up skipping part of one of the lectures (in the case...

I think that's BS. If your heart is set on law, I'd do arts/law at another university, then attempt to transfer to UNSW. You will most likley get credit for the subjects completed at the other university if you do make the transfer. This way there is no chance of you being stuck with the...

Since you're a non-recent school leaver you should get in. UWS are pretty lenient on NRSL's. When I did the HSC my first preference was B. Psych at uws which had a cutoff of 80, and I had a UAI of 77 and did not get in (back then there were no bonus points though). It's a pretty popular...

If you have a choice between tafe or uws... go to uws for sure. Why would you even consider tafe if you can get get into uws - especially in accounting, where a bachelors degree is pretty much essential to get a job. Once you're at uws, if you don't like it simply transfer to another uni and you...

Crim is over rated... it was harder than I expected too. Not really that fun or great! Torts is the most interesting/easiest to learn imo. Contracts was pure torture... very long/boring cases.

Contact the unit coordinator first to discuss your mark. I was successful in making an appeal of grade last semester and both the unit coordinator and head of program were pretty useless (this was for a business subject) - they couldn't/wouldn't even tell me why I failed and just told me to...

Thanks to everyone for the advice (particularly Jonathan A) my review has been successful! Tips for anyone making a review: be very nice in the letter and explain the situation thoroughly. Also, try everything you can to find out why you failed. Thankfully mine was just a clerical error...

You're almost guaranteed to get in, as long as you don't fail anything in second semester. Did you put UTS engineering as your first preference anyway, despite your uai? I know a few people doing engineering at uts without the required uai (similar to yours). I bet if you applied for mid year...

Because you fill all these threads with your pointless engineering crap. You need to realise that people have different strengths and engineeering is not the hardest/best fucking course on the planet as you make it out to be. E.g. my bro finds engineering easy, whereas he could never do my law...

Musk, can you stfu about engineering already? HAHAHA... ok. That's bullshit my bro does UTS engineering and is in final year. He's told me numerous times how his final marks were obviously scaled. Law scales subjects too, which happened to me this past semester in contract law. Basically...
