The Discipline of Government and International Relations sounds interesting and id definately prefer it to any arts subjects, but why do i need to seek permission from the faculty to do this course as it says in the handbook? Im a little confused.

 

[spin spin sugar]

we have to get permission??? :O

 

[absolution*]

Yeah, GOVT1001 NB: Department permission required for enrollment.

Im aware of the channels as to acquiring permission, i was just wondering why though.

 

[spin spin sugar]

what subject is that??

so what do you have to do to get permission? is it enough to call them or do you need to write a letter/email...?

 

[absolution*]

Well i think my case might be different to yours. I want to do Govt and international relations as my 3rd major along with commercial law and accounting because i dont want to do arts subjects...

Im going to email them or just discuss it with someone during o-week.

 

[spin spin sugar]

you should do govt1105 in sem 1 with me abby <3

 

[absolution*]

will i be allowed to? what are you doing sem2 for govt and int relations?

 

[spin spin sugar]

sure, why not?? do it!

n i'm not doing any govt subj's sem 2 (so far... im one subj short). but i am doing an arts subj called 'globalisation and experience' which sounds pretty cool

 

[absolution*]

when are you going to do ECOF1001?

 

[spin spin sugar]

im doing ecof 1002, ecof1001 is the one for ESL ppl isnt it? so yeah im doing it in sem 2

 

[absolution*]

heh ok then, ecof1002 it is then...

do you know which science subjects youre doing? i didnt do any sciences in the HSC so i have no idea..

 

[spin spin sugar]

yeah i havent done any science since yr 10 and even then i was failing miserably... i'll prolly do some easy psychology units later on, MUCH later on, i figure i wont wanna deal with it first yr

 

[absolution*]

so whats your sem1 going to consist of then

ive got ACCT1001, CLAW 1001, GOVT1XXX and then a science

then sem2 is

ACCT1002, CLAW1002, GOVT1202, ECOF1002

Sem1
Classical Mythology
Geopolitics
MArketing Principles
Foundations of Industrial Relations

Sem 2
Globalisation & Experience
Communications and Critical Analysis
Foundations of Human Resource Mgment

+ something else i havent picked yet

 

[absolution*]

Oh ok. So youre also choosing 2 majors from econ and bus faculty (marketing and ind rel) and also choosing govt and int relations?

 

[spin spin sugar]

i dunno if i'll do govt as a major, i havent decided.... we dont have to decide til next yr i think, just try and do all the pre req units. but i'll def. do marketing and ind. relations as my majors if it all works out. i like that we can do bits and pieces though, random arts/govt subjects etc. it gives us so much more variety ... at uts ALL my subjects were pre-chosen for the whole degree cept about 5 electives in later yrs... it sucked.

 

[absolution*]

Hmm yeah. Science is the only thing that is annoying me. 6hrs a week for something i dont even want to do.

 

[spin spin sugar]

save it til later then. cos for me, i figure, i will be much better equipped to do later on in the degree when im more settled down and also more used to university work in general. i know now cos f my experiences last year that its little stuff like that, one subject that you cant stand , that makes you just want to drop out. so i'm leaving it til later cos i'll be way more ready for it and i wotn drop out cos i hate science if im in my third year... whereas i would if im in my first semester 1st year thats just how it is for me tho. ask Toodulu about it if you need more advice, shes 2nd yr Commerce Lib Studies and i think shes saving it til later as well. depends what yr like though, you might like to get it over with quickly

 

[absolution*]

ok, but that leaves me with the problem of only having 18cr 1st semester.

perhaps i could do 2 govt and int relations subjects first semester? hmmmm.

 

[spin spin sugar]

yeah, or do a bludgy arts subject for the easiness and hot chicks
