do you think it's valid to apply for a special consideration based on the fact that one of my favourite fictional characters for the last 11 years just got killed off?

I wish this was an option.

 

[Blue Suede]

So I actually did apply for a simple extension because of that for the lols because I'm buddies with my tutor and she laughed, then told me off for spoilers.

I've got exam clashes too

 

[passionxmusic]

Exam Clashes can be fun. You get put in a room with a table filled with biscuits, tea and coffee (and you can eat/drink them all!) I've only had a clash once for a practical exam and a final exam filled with essays. It was aiite. [emoji14]

Are you serious!?

Anyway, what arrangements were made when you had a clash? Did you still have to take both exams on the same day (like one in the morning and one in the afternoon) ? Or could you ask for one of them to be held the day before/after? Thanks.

You take them on the same day (usually an hour after the first exam). You don't get the luxury of doing one exam one day or the other another day unless you have special permission or you're doing a substitute exam.

Is week 13 a revision week for all subjects? Or do some subjects still teach content in that week?

For most of the (maths) subjects that I've done, week 13 was a revision week.

Haha yeah I only know for maths, but i wonder if its the same for other subjects

 

[passionxmusic]

Has anyone tried the new cafe-ish place at Carslaw? They got rid of my favourite coffee cart.

 

[Amleops]

Yeah I grabbed coffee from there once. Not bad, I prefer Laneway though.

In other news, USYD is offering the Chinese Diploma of Languages major in accelerated format from next year. Looks like I'll be continuing with Chinese after all.

Depends on the subject. Perhaps read your unit outline?

We do get stuvac to do revision though

 

[Daemontreu]

*falls onto the floor* I don't want to know about all my assignments and quizzes. Just leave me here forever, kthx.

Depends on the subject, a few of my econ subjects have kept teaching content, but the majority do revision.

Which econ units are you doing?

Got an offer of admission this morning for the Diploma of Language Studies.

Start in January .

 

[RealiseNothing]

So today just got amazing. Received two marks back that were pretty important.

15/15 in a graph theory quiz (only like 4 people got full marks so fuck yeah), and an 87 in my bioethics essay which was worth 33%.

Nice.
