    Engineering Student; 19 WAM... Options?

    I would talk to someone as soon as possible. Go and make an appointment with the dean of your faculty or someone else high up and tell them the situation. You can get your mothers medical certificates and say that you had to be a carer and you didn't differ because you were stressed. At least...

    Engineering Student; 19 WAM... Options?

    Apply for special consideration to have the marks removed. You have to do it per subject and get each form filled out by the lecturer and then the course coordinator. The sooner you apply the better because after a certain amount of time has passed they don't really approve these applications...

    iffy ATAR for first preference - any info on internal transfers in Semester 2?

    I am at UNSW now and they changed it so you couldn't major in psych through an arts degree which meant that you could not apply for honours. However, i spoke to someone who works in the faculty of science and they told me that next year (2013) it is likely to change and that new students...

    iffy ATAR for first preference - any info on internal transfers in Semester 2?

    In 2012 you could not major in Psychology through an arts degree but i think that that may have changed for 2013. If not you can apply for the bachelor of science and do a major in psychology. You can only transfer after you have completed enough units, provided you get the required WAM which i...

    Does anyone use a livescribe at uni?

    I recently bought the livescribe echo and was wondering if anybody else owns one. Are you happy with it? Do you think it is helpful? Do you use it in lectures as well as tutorials? Just some general feedback on the livescribe would be great!

    Psychology @UNSW

    Yeah thanks, i saw it go up yesterday. I think 2071 looks pretty bad. 2101 has a massive amount of reading but i like the fact that there are more assessments that are not worth so much. I hate when the end of year exam is worth 60%.

Also, just wondering if anybody has done pscy2071 and/or psyc2101, if so i was wondering what the assessments were for these...

    If you enjoy this, i would like to recommend that you read books by Charles Bukowski. The first to read is POST OFFICE. He is a fantastic writer and you may be able to detect similarities between the style of writing from these two authors. He is one of my favourite authors of all time.

    What are you currently Reading?

    I recommend the MARRIAGE PLOT by Jeffery Eugenides. He wrote THE VIRGIN SUICIDES and MIDDLESEX too. The book is about this girl Madeline who is a college student and is writing her thesis on Jane Austin and George Elliot. It sounds crap but i really enjoyed it. I don't want to give too much...

    What are you currently Reading?

    This is exactly how i feel all the time! I wander up and down my book shelves looking for something to read. I just finished MIDDLESEX by Jeffrey Eugenides, this book was powerful but disturbing. The first time i tried to read it i ended up putting it down because some of the themes in the book...
