    Weird things you do before/while studying!

    So I recently discovered that I have this thing where I need to wash my hands before studying, and that if I feel that my hands are sweaty, sticky, or just generally icky feeling, I have to wash them to progress in study.

    "Third Gender" declarations on German birth certificates.

    http://rt.com/news/third-gender-birth-germany-592/ I thought it was interesting. IMO it's a good step in the right direction for Intersex equality. Granted Germany has still to legally recognise same-sex marriage, it's still good to see that they are somewhat dedicated to recognition :D

    Understanding the GPA.

    Hi there! So we recently got first sem results back as well as our GPAs. My GPA is 3.5, but my WAM is 82.5. I'm not understanding how my near-HD WAM has barely scraped a D GPA. After reading around a lot I gather that I cannot compare the two as they aren't the same thing, which I can...

    10% Over is acceptable?

    Hey Guys, I did accelerated Society and Culture last year and for the PIP we were told by a PIP marker that generally Board of Studies markers allowed a 10% leeway for major works. That would mean our critical response could technically be 4950 words for Extension 2. I'm having issues with...
