It is rather senseless to draw parallels between what constitutes a good student and intelligence. In fact, I never made that comparison so don't try to make it seem as if I did. Obviously, if you understand the material well then it follows that you will score highly. How well you understand...

Learn to read. I said "the way that I see it." I did not say that my words should be taken as if they are universally correct. But if you want to discuss it ok. The way I see it (used italics for your convenience) is that a credit average does not make you a good student. Technically better...

Yes, that is all you need. Sometimes you can even get just below 50 and still obtain pass after making various pathetic pleas to your lecturer. [/sarcasm] What a waste, you're paying thousands of dollars each year and for what? To simply obtain a 'degree' (pfft) with a pass mark?

Is that supposed to be something to be proud of/happy with/satisified with? If don't already understand, my previous comment wasn't directed specifically at you. It is a statement which is true for a large proportion of people. The way I see it, credit and pass are both fairly poor grades so...

Not if you want scores around the 50 mark.

In most cases if you study a maths subject and the majority of your study involves summarising topics and notes etc. then you are headed straight for a sub 50 score. :D Edit: I also think the above is the case for many subjects where you need to rote learn the material in textbooks.

But how do you know that you are interepreting his words correctly? By accepting that God behaves in ways which humans cannot comprehend you have thrown all logic out the window. As such, you can't just back track and use logic whenever it suits you. Either use logical arguments all of the time...

If what you stated in the quote in true then that means that God behaves in ways which humans cannot even begin to comprehend. So how do you know that what you've been reading is accurate? How can you be sure that your interepretation of 'his' words are correct? You can't. So clearly, any...

Sorry, what was that? I couldn't understand you. Perhaps you could try separating the points you are trying to make with full stops and/or paragraphs. It might make your posts a little more coherent. Right now they are kind of embarassing. Oh btw... I make the logical assumption that your...

If you (not necessarily referring to thread starter): * have never suffered from major physical and/or mental problems before * were born in Australia * received adequate opportunities to study during primary and highschool * were at least 17 in the year in which you completed year 12 *...

I'm not going to argue with you any further. There is no point when all that you demonstrate is the ability to ignore the blatantly obvious - I already explained why your post was a personal attack, regardless of whether you intended it to be or not. Your post did not clearly infer anything...

My post was: You then responded by saying: No, actually you never did any "pointing out" of that sort. Look at the above quote from one of your posts. You referred to something I said (weird that threads like this need to be created here) and then in the same sentence you told me to...

What's your point? I am a non-uws student. The fact that I'm not a uws student is clear not only from the context of my previous post, but also the content - it was made explicit.

Uh...I go to Melbourne...I haven't seen anyone from there coming here and bagging out uws. You shouldn't just assume that I'm from a NSW city uni just because I haven't immediately started chucking a spaz in every single uws related thread.

Quite clearly, the logical interpretation of Seraphim's post is basically that there was no point in mentioning that some other person had honours. It doesn't make that person anymore of a threat just because he/she had honours. It's also quite strange that this kind of thread needed to be...

Lol I must say that it's rather refreshing to see that there still exist naive people. Most of you have said that if you lose a loved one then you will definitely move on...what's the difference between that and choosing Uni over your 'lover.' :rolleyes:

People usually give good advice but just ignore the parts of their responses where they compare a P student to a HD student. Obviously such a comparison is pointless - do you really expect to be competing for a job against a P student? Whenever prestige comes into play, the only comparison that...

I don't do the single BE but just from looking at the handbook it seems that you need to choose which stream of Engineering you want to pursue from the very first year. You can transfer into another stream but the first year (at melbourne at least) is not a general engineering course load...

You are implicitly using the irrationality which your arguments are based on, as an excuse for what you originally said. You can word it anyway you want to. The fact that still stands is that in this thread at least, you argued on the following premise. Someone who has an opinion which is...

Am I as rigid? Well for one thing while I have my own opinions, I do not just ignore another person's comments simply because they do not believe in the same things as me. So you think that a particular point is of no value to the discussion. Ok, but then why did you admit to ignoring the...
