Yeah, i have a lot of questions and things to say and discuss. You have to do so much reading at uni, it sucks

Any two units of english - esl, standard and advanced. Uni does not require you to have a certain band of english. Your english will only improve throughout uni cause of all the reading.

They might have good writing skills, and be language minded capable of writing heaps

 

[Jacks]

the recommended level of english I suppose really depends on your chosen degree, some degrees may suggest advanced english, though this is not necessarily required. As a general rule, as cape says, any 2 units of english is fine...and you will improve the english skills you need as you get more practice, and come to know what uni expects of you.

You will find that uni is basically only theory - hence why you read a hell of a lot.

Also, you will learn to critically analyse journals and readings etc, for assignments. And anyone can do this, even international students ... thats why a dictionary was invented

lol i agree except for the last sentence..... u obviously havent read some of the law/med/maths books...u cant exactly just look up a dictionary and get what it means

 

[Cape]

No, I don't do law, med or maths. But they all have specific dictionary relating to their field. But meh, as long as you can read and structure essays and reports, your pretty much fine.

 

[klh]

how the hell do you critically analyse?
i hate british/american texts...the words are all different.
i cant even answer the question for my h/w, i cant do anything.

 

[Cape]

I dunno ... but your right about the america stuff. I had it how words have z in them, like industrization ... I can't stand it.

Wait, that academic writing workshop booklet should have how you critically analyse in it.

 

[klh]

my problem right now is i cant answer a question.
these questions, what the do they mean?
like 'what are the considerations for global marketing'
then there is ' what are the considerations for developing a global brand?
i reckon they are sort of similar, and considerations...what does that mean i should do? the factors?
so frustrating.
thanks for letting me get this out.

I really wish I could help you, but I have no idea Have you tried google ... i have done 3/4 of my geology prac through google today :uhhuh:

and i'm still on the stupid prac ... argh! Its boring and the questions are so stupid

 

[klh]

i thought i could at least transition into 2nd year since my first year was ok....so much reading and un-australian unfamiliar words. bah ill just turn up and say my dog ate it and show him the remains of what was my half assed answering of the question.

 

[Cape]

My introductory to earth sciences subject is so much harder than any of the other 200 subjects that i'm doing - earth sciences is only level 100 ... argh! I'm so screwed i don't understand a single word ... no matter how many times I read the textbooks. Stupid minerals

 

[klh]

im blaming half towards tv becoz i was watching davis cup/gp and half to my blank mind...unfortuantely the internet isnt a real helper for ym subject.
and i have more readings....6 readings to get through and after them more for next week.
this is really enjoyable...im eating my owrds when i said i liked starting uni again.

 

[Cape]

I blame the tv as well ... was watching the gp all day - not good. And sitting on here isn't helping much either. maybe in a few weeks I might have learnt my lesson again, but I'm just not in the study mood this year. I just wanna watch tv.

 

[klh]

yeah me too...too many good programs on. and i wasted my saturday coz of star wars..i mean i cant deny that. as much as i promise myself that i will change, i wont until its near finals.

 

[Cape]

I have spent 20 hours during the past 3 days watching the gp ... and ofcourse I had to watch star wars and I needed to sleep after a tiring week at uni. Now I kinda wished that I did the work on tuesday afternoon. Plus, I'm eating too many chupa chups
