The answers to both of your queries depend entirely on the examination marks attained by your class. :)

This grade distribution should be roughly correct: HD: 0 - 10% DN: 35 - 45% CR: 30 - 40% PS: 10 - 20% FL: 0 - 5% These are only guidelines that course convenors are expected to work within. The actual distributions are allowed to vary from these guidelines if the variation can be...

...as if you wouldn't love the attention. ;)

Yes, I have. ;) It doesn't happen often though... generally around twice per month.

I think most guys will do anything if they're drunk enough.

That's an extremely interesting strategy... Unfortunately, you're still deemed to be a recent school-leaver if you take a gap year. :)

You make a valid point. It'll be interesting to see what happens now. Ultimately, if the Unions are afraid of dying, and truly want to stay alive, I believe they'll find a way to do so.

Presumably, anyone who isn't a member would have to pay more so that those costs could be met - thereby enticing them to become a member. Most problems have solutions... but most people just don't think about them.

I think the fallacy in your argument is that you are assuming that the services will still be available to everyone. If your first step ("Few people pay") comes about, then only those "few people" will have access to the services. The total pool of people using the services will have...

I'd say you're probably right on the money there.

I can't see any real reason for Unions continuing to provide services to students who refuse to contribute. Someone pointed out in another thread that the Unions won't have enough resources to continue providing their services to everyone. But I can't really see the logic behind this - they...

If the services that are being provided by Unions are worthwhile, why wouldn't students just continue to pay their contributions anyway? And if they're not worthwhile, does it really matter if they're not being provided?

The Universities Admissions Centre (NSW & ACT) Pty Ltd is a private company (ASIC listing) that is owned by another company, UniProjects Pty Ltd, which is in turn jointly owned by all or most NSW universities: Nature and Scope of UAC. This makes UAC an independent legal entity and places it...

Not yet. We have a team working on it. ;) Patience is a virtue.

This is a valid argument, but I think it's overshadowed by the fact that judges are already required to support their decisions regarding cut-offs with actual evidence of the standard of work that is being produced by students. According to the Board, they aren't making arbitrary decisions that...

lol hrmm, good point.

Intriguing. So they've released some marks, and then just spontaneously changed their stance? That's a little dodgey. I'll have to think about this. Kind of annoying... undoing all that hard work. Sigh.

They look like HSC marks... did any of your examination or assessment marks fall on the cut-offs? Yes, and they're meant to do this whenever possible: You could probably write a letter in reply requesting that you be given access to your other raw marks, without incurring any additional...

You could at the very least ask for proper evidence for the refusal - see above.

Hah, wow, how exciting! Your request was refused for one of the following two reasons: 1) The Board has realised that we can accurately estimate raw band cut-offs by splicing together raw and aligned marks from different students. As a result, they have simply put a blanket ban on all...
