It seems to me like everything they are saying is too easy to be university level work. Is this just because I did similar subjects last year in school, or do I have no idea whats going on?

I've only looked at the textbook for one of my subjects, and it didn't seem to get much harder.

First year subjects are very cruisy, and if you've done related subjects in high school, then you'll find it easy. It starts off with the basics, but your assessments such as essays etc are required to be much better than HSC level, such as referencing and construction.

How do they expect assessments and essays to be better than HSC standard when they are teaching so simply? Won't the people doing the subject for the first time go really bad then?

Like Raiks said, its not the content that is hard, its doing essays and stuff at an acceptable university level. You will go from getting 90%+ marks in school to around 65-70%...quite a rude shock. What you think is perfect will still be a long way off. Its really just a matter of trial and error and you get better as you go along.

you can't get rude shock if your assessments are objective tests

but yeah, essays and reports are marked ridiculously

You guys are scaring me...

At least I know not to go jumping off a cliff when I get my results etc back. Argh, I see myself getting stressed in the near future. Uni people like stacking the work dont they.

Im supposed to be reading and deconstructing the main points of a text for graphic design and i honestly dont understand a word...

Wish me luck,

Jerome

13 weeks goes screaming past for me. Well the first 11 do and then I realise I have 2 weeks to learn 11 weeks of material in time for final exams. Those last 2 weeks go by even quicker.

 

[santaslayer]

Holidays soon!!! YAYYYY!!

 

[Ninga]

No, since my post served the purpose of pointing out the fact that what you said previously was in fact spam material. This helps the moderators and administration to efficently, and effectively detect such material and proceed with appropriate steps to deter or remedy such forum offenses.

it wasn't offensive spam material anyway...i was simply wishing someone good luck with their studies. Is the purpose of BOS not to help and encourage people with their studies?

1. Spam is spam. There is no difference as to what the spam content is classified as. In my opinion, ANY spam is offensive as forum members use the medium as a means of giving and recieving information. Useless material obstructs the effective and efficent utilisation of the website and members do not appreciate it. Therefore, ANY spam is somewhat offensive.

2. BOS is not prefdominately used as a means of encouragement to studies. It was created simply as a governmental body which oversees the operation of certain syllabus being implemented correctly in NSW K-12 schools.
BoS however, is definetly used as a communication medium which CAN fulfill the certain objectives mentioned above. However, the issue is that you have taken such qualities which BoS posesses and manouvered it out of context. One of your intentions was undoubtly to spam the UoW forums, and, as UoW King, I have the obligation of reminding you (and others), that spam will not be tolerated and further steps will be taken if such rules are broken again.
