I don't think it is necessarily a BAD course, on the contrary it's quite extensive and broad and allows for a well rounded education.
But the reason i think for the large drop out rate is because a large number of people who do this course do not know what they want to specialise in at...
I'm doing Arts/Commerce @ Usyd. For me, the experience has been quite good. I was a humanities kind of person in High School so i wanted to choose a course that was broad in the skills you gain but also attractive to employers and arts/commerce seemed to fit perfectly.
I was also thinking...
Pass - 50+
Credit - 65+
Distinction - 75+
High Distinction - 85+
Yeah alot of people try to transfer, which makes things difficult especially transfering to Law or Commerce etc!
Yes it is possible to transfer to a different course within the same uni and faculty. This, however, is competitive and you must get at least a Credit Average to be able to transfer. They take account of your UAI too. Plenty have done it, so yeah good luck!
I'm so glad i passed, i wanted to do better and these results are much worse than first sem.
accounting - Pass
macroeconomics - Pass
econometrics - Pass
Sociology - HD
I'm certain that i'll do MUCH better next sem, because i'll be doing marketing junior units which will be my major in...
Hey Timmii i think we have the same lecturers for all the commerce subjects, not that it's particular surprising considering how large lectures are. I have Martin for accounting and he does seem to know a fair bit. It was good for that representative from CPA to come along for the tuesday 11-12...
emz, today's lecture was huge, so much people aye!!!
Some people do seem snobbish, but i tend to just chat to anyone anywhere like lining up at the copy centre or waiting to go into a lecture theatre.. .
you can come sit with me:D if you feel lonely!!! I'm friendly enough!!!
Today i had
Business and Economic stats at 10am in eastern ave auditorium which was packed. Luckily i sat next to friendly people who i met and talked to.
Then i had microeconomics at the same place after an hours break at 12pm.
There was so much people at uni today!!!
All in all it was...
I'm a bit nervous as it will be our first uni lecture/day ever.
Im just bringing a lecture pad and pens because i don't think we really are going to start taing notes, or maybe we will i just don't know. I am using lecture pads for each subject it's just much more easier for me.
But like...
My timetable was crap at first, i had a full five dayer but changed it to have friday off. I also start at 10 every day and finish about 3 with 1 hour breaks in between!!
I'm doing sociology, can't wait seems interesting but i also got to do all the commerce compulsory subjects!!!
