I have to figure out what I'm gonna major in. I wanna do Film Studies, but you need 36 senior credit points for a major, and Film Studies only offers 5 subjects unless I wanna go on exchange

You can do some cross uni CPs afaik

(unless that's what you meant by "exchange" not overseas)

 

[bazookajoe]

Yeah I can cross credit points from other subjects, cheers.

Ashton I still can't figure out if this is worse than majoring in Philosophy

Phil is wayyy better and you know it.

 

[Ennaybur]

I'm majoring in phil woo

ima stay at uni forever and then be a lecturer.

 

[stazi]

I'm majoring in Centrelink

 

[Iheartpaulfrank]

Yeah me too by the looks of it (majoring in phil, not the lecturer bit).

 

[bazookajoe]

Ok done my pre enrolment. This is gonna be the worst year of my life, I'm gonna change my subjects so much.
The Postmodernism texts look awesome, but I have a feeling it's gonna be the biggest trap

 

[bazookajoe]

Oi wtf, it says I don't have the prerequisite for the film studies subjects but I fucking did ENGL1025

 

[Iheartpaulfrank]

I can't study for Linear Algebra. It's SO tedious. Damn I get distracted too easily.

 

[stazi]

Oi wtf, it says I don't have the prerequisite for the film studies subjects but I fucking did ENGL1025

which subjects from film studies are ewe trying to enrol in?

 

[bazookajoe]

ARHT2657
ARHT2652

Need halp

 

[Ennaybur]

I don't know if you'd like the post modern one ben.

then again, i don't know the course description

and i don't know what lurks in the dark recesses of your mind.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

omg ima gonna do postmodernism too if i transfer. OMG!

 

[stazi]

ARHT2657
ARHT2652

Need halp

maybe the ARHT1002 or ENGL1025 prereq. was meant to have read ARHT1002 AND ENGL1025.

The other likely alternative is that first you must declare your major as film studies on the pre-enrolment form, as otherwise it is simply assuming that you're an art history major.

 

[bazookajoe]

Yeah I put my major as film studies. I thought it might have been and as well, if it is that'll piss me off because I chose not to do ARHT1002 because I thought it wouldn't be a prereq.

And yeah ruby, I hate the concept of postmodernism but the texts are so goot. Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club and The Office UK version yayayay

fuck. i want to do it.

is it 12cp of junior eng as a prereq?

because I'm not doing anymore first year eng. they were lame.


.... and I don't really have anymore room to do anything else

 

[bazookajoe]

Pretty sure all senior English units need 12 junior credit points

 

[Ennaybur]

get a waiver, yo.


say you did 4 unit english, performed amazingly. have done only 6 credit points of english but really want to do postmodernism as an elective (also mention your extensive experience in postmodernism - bring up your HSC again).

explain how you can't fit another unit of junior english into your degree and major program but would really really like to do this subject.

email the subject co-ordinator that. they'll most probably give you a waiver (they give em for anything, these days).

then take a copy of the email to the SOPHI office, fill out a form, attach email...give it to them, and it's all good...i think.

awsm

I'd thought about it, but then it'd require me overloading anyway and I'm not sure if I want to do that (yet).

 

[bazookajoe]

Ok pre-enrolled and fired off an email to support

 

[Ennaybur]

lol should i overload?

it'd be a much huger workload for me. but doable

there's probably epic clashes

... it's probably better if I don't ..
