    Is BIOL108 easy to pass?

    If you want a unit where you don't have to do much I recommend Brain, Behaviour and Evolution. If you are willing to put in some study time/make an effort then you should have no problem with BIOL108. Did you do any sciences in the HSC?

    Tips for studying uni-level human biology or biology in general

    That's great. If you are interested in some other easy science units, I recommend BBE100- Brain, Behaviour and Evolution. It had a 50 MC end of year exam. And if you are a humanities geek then you have to try out Greek Heroes and Heroines- my favorite course ever XD

    Tips for studying uni-level human biology or biology in general

    I did Senior Science and Biology for the HSC and Chemistry for Prelim. I'm not going to lie to you, the people who did sciences in the HSC will have an advantage over you. However, if you apply yourself there is no reason why you cannot match or even exceed their marks. The lecturer is really...

Make sure you dedicate...

    People and Planet unit recommendations

    I've done AHIS140 ( Myth in the Ancient World), I agree it was very easy as well. The main assignments are a tutorial paper ( which you can hand in pretty much any week) and 1 x 2000 word essay due in the last couple of weeks. You get 3 topics to choose from. No end of semester exam.

    Where to hold my 18th bday?

    Depending on how many people, you could do a ghost tour? That's what I did for my 18th birthday party :cool: You get to know who your real friends are when they are willing to run around the city at night in torrential rain looking for ghosts because you say so.

    job rejections

    In terms of rejection, I try to keep in mind the philosophy that "everything happens for a reason". Perhaps if you didn't get one job that just means that a better opportunity is around the corner. About a month ago I applied for like 4 jobs with woolworths/coles and didn't get them...then just...

    What is each uni good for?

    I think Macquarie is up there for Speech Pathology, Audiology, Linguistics & Psych related stuff with the opening of the Hearing Hub building and the Simulation Hub in Y3A.

    Masterchef 2015

    Anyone but Georgia. She seems like a nice person but all throughout the series matt, george and gary during the challenges have been giving her tips and not the other contestants. As to who is going to win, if the finale is a dessert challenge then Reynold, if it is a mix of sweet and savory or...
