I was just going by the general ones ?
Hahaha, oh man, I've heard it all. I can't do this because of x, or y, or z. Experience tells me in the end these things usually fall into place despite all the supposed obstacles.wikiwiki said:Rhodes is for anglos.
90-100 in Law?? That's absolutely fucked. The top graduating student usually only ever sits on a final Law WAM of about 86 or 87 (I remember seeing a thread on this). Does this mean that most years they just don't award the University Medal for Law?stazi said:ohhh for law it's this:
(a) Honours in the Bachelor of Laws may be awarded in two classes: Class I and Class II.
(b) First class honours are awarded to students who obtain an average mark of 75 per cent or higher (weighted in accordance with the credit points for each unit of study).
(c) Second class honours are awarded to students who obtain an average mark of between 70 per cent and 74.9 per cent (weighted in accordance with the credit points for each unit of study).
(d) Students who qualify for the award of first class honours, and whose work is of outstanding merit in the opinion of the Faculty, may be considered for the award of a University medal.
then in another section it says this, which kinda contradicts it:

lol. sigh. again. this is what you need to get in law HONOURS. not in law1001, 1002, 2001, etc. but LAW41xx an 42xx. I'm sure they allocate 90+ for exceptional work in honours, but they may not if the faculty doesn't feel like anyone is worthy of a medal in the year.c_james said:90-100 in Law??

About a quarter white, more or less. Most can't guess my ethnicity - some dude thought I was Russian the other day.stazi said:hahhahah wait, so you're not white? I always thought you were.
and life experience + a WAM of 90 is almost oxymoronic.
There's no extra year for Law honours. If I recall correctly, Law honours is based solely on final WAM.stazi said:lol. sigh. again. this is what you need to get in law HONOURS. not in law1001, 1002, 2001, etc. but LAW41xx an 42xx.

To reiterate:
Your honours class is determined by how you perform in your honours year.
so you don't do a thesis?c_james said:There's no extra year for Law honours. If I recall correctly, Law honours is based solely on final WAM.
Let's just say I didn't have the healthiest habits, and still don't. I worked by day (as in, employment), played by night. Minimal sleep. And perhaps you could've gotten that 100 UAI! I must say, though, the HSC was a complete joke in comparison to the year thus far.stazi said:social life = work? and your gpa is equal to my sem 2 gpa. zomg im as smart as c_james. that meanz i couldve gotten a 100uai eazy.
Nope. They leave that to the postgrad Law students. For my Arts honours I will be writing a thesis, however.stazi said:so you don't do a thesis?
Played WoW by night? That's not a social lifeworked by day, played by night.
Eh, feel free to stereotype me all you want. I don't fit the mould of the kid with the 100 UAI, and anyone I know will attest to that. I don't blame you though. If I met some kid like me (and in my degree I've met a few) I'd probably feel the same on first impressions.stazi said:Played WoW by night? That's not a social life
no. i doubt i wouldve gotten a 100uai. i was kidding.
although i do agree with the balance comment. Sem 1 I went all out studying and never going out got a 5.75 gpa and was shattered. Sem 2 I balanced heavy uni involvement with heavy weekly drinking with heavy study. Got sensational results (apart from shitty govt1406 with teh worst tutor ever).
yeah, coz mines the biggestvelox said:I think we can stop comparing penis sizes now.

Its true stas. This guy is a bit cool, a bit against the mainstream, a bit jaded. Look at his avatar for example. Hardcore wit.c_james said:Eh, feel free to stereotype me all you want. I don't fit the mould of the kid with the 100 UAI, and anyone I know will attest to that.
