*points to signature* Welcome to my degree! :D When I first started uni, I decided upon this degree because it mixed the two areas I was really interested in, and passionate about. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer (specifically, family law), but this has since fluctuated after working in the...

Re: workload Its not 'unmanagable', exemplified by the numbers of law students :p You will spend most of your time reading and doing research, and you cannot forget the beloved assignments. But really, its not that heavy in and of itself. It can become hectic depending on what you double your...

We re-enrol on Monday (8th Jan). Re: law I cant help you much, but the 4 200-level units you've listed are standard. It seems a bit odd that you would be able to do some 300-level units, because they all have pre-req's of 200-level. That said, there might be some special thing for you special...

Re: [Official] WebCT/MQ Services Downtime Thread I would say yes, Rob. Judging by all the negative delivery status thingos. And it timed out, so definitely did not go through. This is all so gay. So, so gay.

I heard a figure once of 50K per annum ... But, because you only work 8 weeks (approx), you only get that proportion of the 50K. So, not much.

The electives are what you make it; I am also interested in the people side of things, rather than the neuro/cognitive. For example, I chose Personality, Social Psych and Psychopathology as electives. That said, they do strike a balance between all the areas of psych in the core units. This is...

Yes, it is a BA degree with a psych major. If it was straight psych, it would be a B Psych. Basically, the only electives you have are 3 in the first year, and thats it. The rest of the degree is structured so you have zippo electives (except the 300-level psych and 400 and 500-level law). It...

Prestige is bs. If you are a good student, with good grades (or, D grades and extensive work experience) you will get a position somewhere, regardless of the uni you attend. I think all the transfer stuff has been dealt with in great detail; ta Tabris and Rob :D Personally, I have only met one...

I assume you are asking post-UAC preferences? From memory (and this is 4 years ago for me now), yes Mac do send you a letter of acceptance, as well as an enrollment pack of information/timetable sheets/info sheets etc. This is all sent out in the mail once main round offers have been made (which...

How much did she fail by? I have no idea about the double fail rule (it rings bells, but I'm not at all linked to the ACCG faculty), but if she did have to appeal to the Dean or Convenor to do it again, I would expect them to look at her marks, and base their decision on them. If she was getting...

I know, but its not the same! I cant yell at eStudent for being slow, while surrounded by Thai's who will think I'm crazy. And, I cant tie up three individual computers for free!! I've thought about this, but I need someone who has the knowledge, and isnt going to be concentrating on their...

Subject selection is on January 8th this year (or something similar)... And timetable selection is in late Jan/early Feb (when I am overseas *cries* - how am I going to get my classessssssssss :( ). Ahem. And yes, as Lynn said, its for both semesters. The process is really quite simple, when...

I totally forgot until just then, and logged on to see whether a panic thread had been started yet! Pass me a bucket. I think I'm going to vomit. Or have a heart attack. And its my work Chrissy party tonight, so I will be up, and will have no excuse but to check them when I get home...

Mac uses GPA too, generally; WAM is used in honours selection. The WAM is more exact. The GPA is a much simpler calculation, and the variance in individual marks doesnt matter as much when it comes to transferring degrees. And, as wheredanton says, every uni loves a bell curve. GO...

M_M, you are first year. You have FOUR long years left. I would say your WAM would only start to matter once you hit third year, because until then you will most likely be rejected from legal work, because of your age/inexperience. Dont fret :)

Re: Who's doing what in Semester 1, 2007? Do you mean 332? I did that this semester (its just I never, ever attended a lecture - I dont even know what Lorna looks like!). It was possibly one of the worst written exams I've ever sat. What was the point in doing the extra tutorial readings? And...

Re: Who's doing what in Semester 1, 2007? IT Law Health Law Remedies But, now I'm having a bit of a mid-degree crisis. I want to practise psych I've decided and become an expert witness... So... that means back-tracking to do some 200-level PSY and a crappy 300-level stats... *cries with...

Or use http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/degrees.php?edition=2007&level=ug All you do is subsitute the "2006" to "2007". But, I would be careful. Because it has not been officially released, they still might fiddle with things, and change unit descriptions... But I dont think they can change a...

Semester 1 is great: only there one day :D But semester 2 is a bit unfortunate, because I'm there two days (plus, one external unit). IWR, I'm doing: Semester 1: IT Health Law Remedies (core) Semester 2: IP Business Organisations (core) Ethics (external) Social Psych (because I love psych and...

It is assignable, yes, but it wasnt in that problem question with regards to the brother. You need to have nominal consideration, and it was a voluntary deed. So, he wouldnt have received the interest, anyway. :) Gah! I have to get this knowledge out of my head!! ;)
