    PDF versions of textbooks.

    So where do you get the PDF versions of Australian university textbooks? I'm looking for "Laying Down the Law" 7th Edition and would like to read it now. I would prefer the hardcopy but I can't buy it from the bookshop at this moment of time. Any suggestions?

    Speed reading for law

    Hi, do you guys think speed-reading is necessary for law reading? I read like a bloody turtle. I understand in first year, we have 20-40pgs per lesson to read. I read a Foundations of Law book and each page took me 5 mins. I'm so freaking slow! Do you think it's worth learning speed-reading...

    Picking up german for uni/relaxation purposes

    Has anyone tried learning German at the Centre of Continuing Education? I will be living on-campus so this is would be a good location for me. Or can anyone recommend any relatively cheap (<$300 per sem) and close-by german schools? Thanks :)

    above picture from this website What are your opinions? Contrary to what the muslim activists said, I don't think a specific word can change the faith of a person.

    Failing at University A and starting afresh in University B
