    Diploma of Languages

    What is this 'communicative' method? I assume it's the method that made me drop my language... I was hoping USYD might offer something more 'concrete'

    New Changes at Mq?

    I still can't look at the new logo without seeing it as that dragon / worm photoshopped picture :lol:

    sufficient time for an assignment?

    :rofl: I love the question. 10 days? Recently, we only ever got 14 days to do an assignment. My general rule, to do well for 1500 word essay and to not be working under pressure, was give yourself a few nights to research and think logically about your argument and where the research is going...

    how do people study at uni...?

    Too brief, I expanded on them, from what the lecturer was saying.

    iLectures

    I assume they don't think highly of it - because some refuse to post notes before the lecture as they think it will make more students turn up. However, some probably don't care as they have things which they regard as more important to worry about.

    how do people study at uni...?

    I made notes from the lecture, detailed notes and never touched a textbook. I then memorised the notes, focusing on understanding them at the same time. I recommend this method :p

    Anyone work at Macquarie Centre?

    I have no recollection of how I got my job there. I think I would have just handed in resumes as you do anywhere else and someone called me.

    Lectures

    Handwrite your notes straight onto the lecture notes they give you imo, it's easier, lighter and less annoying.

    Language/Credit Points

    Contact the course convenor for the approval. Good idea to get a 'waiver form' and fill it out and bring it to the convenor. You used to be able to get them from estudent. I hope my knowledge isn't out of date

    Online Learning?

    Interesting. I can't access it on mine or I would try and explain if I knew :p And multi quote (I can't remember what it was called before) is FINALLY back!! edit: I don't see any quotes

    Diploma of Languages

    Thanks pwar! That is very helpful! Ok yes I think I should go the uni route, but I will do a bit more research. I know, I wouldn't want to start this semester (I need a rest, have a bit of work to do to to finish my ongoing contact with the uni and would like to try and regain some of the...

    Language studies

    What is the best way to go about learning a language? Has anyone done a certificate or diploma in languages? What are the purpose of these courses? I have a fairly ok grasp of a language (including some uni studies), but I am looking to further my knowledge - I assume a certificate or diploma...

    Diploma of Languages

    Has anyone done a certificate or diploma in languages? What are the purpose of these courses? I have a fairly ok grasp of a language (including some uni studies), but I am looking to further my knowledge - I assume a certificate or diploma may benefit me? Does anyone have any ideas on how...

    I thought that was the date as well, but the lady on the phone told me the end of February.

    2009 Macquarie Uni Offers / General Chatter

    Re: 2009 Macquarie Uni Offers Psych and stat units should have ilecture. Drop the course convenor an email to check - I used to. I did many clashing subjects and I recommend it if you really do want to do certain subjects and you know you will keep up with the ilectures. Rather than ilecturing...

    Parking during holidays

    Does anyone know how long the 08 parking sticker is valid for? Is it written somewhere online so that I can confirm? (I can't find it, I may give the uni a call).

    Accepting uni offers - stressing out bad

    :o I didn't even know you were considering a PhD, let alone deferring it. Good on you! :). I, however, am so relieved to never have another uni assignment to do!! Woo-hoo! (Although I was browsing the handbook yesterday, but let's not go into that... and in reality, I'm pretending that my uni...

    Messy "course details"

    I don't know if enrolling and withdrawing is the best way, it will be time consuming. I'm sure there's an easier way of deleting them but can't remember what it is.

    Accepting uni offers - stressing out bad

    Your own application? You're a sucker for more, yet again? I've been too absent from here to know what's going on :p

    Do you get some sort of bus pass in Uni?

    When you get your student card you also need to get a sticker put onto it, allowing you to concession for travel. You are only entitled to the concession if you are an Australian student and studying full time.
