I went on friday to Augustus & Julio Claudians, Agrippina the Younger & Roman society from the time of Augustus. If anyone is doing any of the above, the only one worth going to is the society. I'm not too sure about the lecturers if they're the same, but i could have seirously left @ 11am since the society lecture was 1st up.
How did everyone else think of the day?

Well the most repeated phrase I heard throughout the day was "We don't know". That was what I paid $25 for? Here's a quick summary of the day:
Xerxes: Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. The phrase "we don't know" was first introduced here and continuously repeated throughout the lecture. Also the lecturer said some things that contradicted what our teacher had told us.
Sparta: Wow, I had no idea that so many ppl were doing this topic! It was totally packed. This lecture was more interesting, we learnt about a couple of extra historians we should be referring to. On the negative side however, the lecturer gave us copies of his notes and didn't tell us much that wasn't already in them, so I have to admit that we didn't pay all that much attention.
The Minoans: I found this alright because it's our new topic and there were a lot of new things to learn. Also there was a 'slide show' which was a welcome change from reading notes.

Hahaha i know what you mean, that's why seriously it was a waste of time, and definately not worth $25. I talked to a friend about the day but she was doing the Egypt lectures and she said that there was only 1 lecture worth going to, which is exactly what i said earlier.
Our guys were like "hey where's all the people" since our lectures were about 3/4 full, but not totally packed. We thought we'd have more people...

we didn't end up going cos our teacher went 2 queensland that day but it doesn't sound like it was worth going 2 anyway...

In my opinion, it WAS DEFINITELY NOT worth going to, u didn't miss out on ANYTHING. In fact, I think it saved ten years of your life...I lost five from boredom with the lectures and five from heart problems with the contradictions.

When will I ever find lectures that are worth going to? I remember paying nearly $40 for English lectures at Sydney Uni once and we ended up sleeping through one, enjoying one and skipping two altogether. *Sigh* Eight meals @ Maccas down the drain.

Hahaha, that's a shame eh? 8 meals @ Maccas....o no.....
But that's true, there wasnt' anyhting much @ all. There was only 1 worth staying for, but that's defnately NOT worth $25...so all in all i'd agree...
