Regardless of how unpleasant things can be, do them. Also, don't avoid doing things due to issues of work ethic (e.g., laziness) or constitution (e.g., fear). Frankly, stats in PSYC is nothing. The essay writing is a little more substantial, but it's a good training ground for writing, which is...

I don't want to justify myself at this juncture, but do MBLG1901 if you can. In fact, do advanced units if you can (unless there's a very good reason why you shouldn't). Regarding weeder courses, chem tends to be one of them as is MBLG. Edit: MBLG1901 is properly taught and supervised. That's...

Well, that's USyd all right. Speaking of fucking shit, law's fucking shit, and I wish I didn't go down this path. If you're interested in speeding up your progression through your course, you could overload. However, it can be quite intense, especially in units with load of labs (e.g...

Australian School of Business seems like it does a better job than Sydney Business School. I don't believe SBS even has Act. Studies Like the above, it depends. Both UNSW and USYD are excellent providers of education in the professions (e.g., business, law), sciences, and whatever else. It just...

Bachelor of Music (Music Education) - USYD Resolutions of the Faculty - Sydney Conservatorium of Music - USYD Just e-mail the guys at the Con. Interestingly, they are actually pretty decent and reasonable to deal with.

To be perfectly straight with you, across all of the sciences taught at Sydney and UNSW, both universities are of similar calibre. You'll have really great things at one each uni, and you'll have really crap things at each too. Think about what you want (e.g., majors, classes, food...

It's incredibly stupid that summer/winter school isn't HECS-HELPable but if you want to be proactive or get through your units without spending additional time, do it. You'll pay it back when you do, but just don't spend an eternity fucking around uni and not doing something with your life...

Pooling and policy (grading, scaling, etc.). Doing a B.Med.Sci. is generally counter-intuitive for most who want to get into a (good) medical school. In fact, it could be said that it is almost good for nothing. Indeed, if you're stupid or lazy or if you have a fatal combination of the two...

And the Law School. The main thing I see (and do not like about) Sydney is that too many people give too many shits about politics or are immoderate, even to the point of steadfastly far from the centre.

Any thoughts on this? I have entertained the idea of legal academia (or doing more study, beyond the commonplace LL.M.), but I don't think it's something I'd do in Australia or before practising for at least 5 years (arbitrarily chosen; perhaps that should be 2 to 3 if I work in corporations?)...

Yes. You probably do that via UAC. Either way, e-mail USYD about it for further details.

I split my sides laughing. If you're a normal human being, you probably won't want to end up in corporations law. (Good luck with doing that among your Priestley 11.) Doing an LL.B./B.Comm. may not be what you are really into. Perhaps you could do an LL.B./B.Sc. (Anatomy). If you're still...

I entered law school with a part-time job at a firm and a part-time job doing pro bono. I realised shortly after starting that, despite things being a breeze (in retrospect), I could not juggle everything then. If you've had a job before commencing a law degree and for a long duration, you...

Depends. Mathematical statistics is very much mathematics, but everyday statistics or using a package does not necessarily require a thorough understanding of mathematics. Statistics and mathematics are generally useful, but simply having them is not enough and having them isn't...

Those that are ineligible or do not wish to undertake Honours in Psychology may enter the workforce to do general things (e.g., clerical), somewhat related things (e.g., HR, management). Edit...

If this is CLE, UNSW > Sydney, which lacks rigour. I didn't know that UTS had language courses or CLE. The more you know! If this is coursework, as part of a degree, I have no idea. Sorry.

I disagree in the strongest of terms. If you wholly intent on becoming a surgeon or radiologist, do Honours and a Ph.D. in anatomy or something while teaching. Then, do med school. Alternatively, do med school and simply do well, then choose this if that's what life has in store for you. From...

By whatever schema, 1. UNSW 2. UTS 3. Sydney That notwithstanding, it all depends. Moreover, the only opinion that matters is yours, followed by your course of action and your accepting the consequences of whatever you do or don't do.

Well, if you're worth your salt, perhaps you could suggest acceleration. I recall accelerating economics, mathematics, etc., but this obviously depends on whether you school does it or could do it. Refer to BoS for the curricula. I have been out of high school for so long that my advice is...

Re: How hard is it coping with 4 law subjects a semester in a combined law degree(4th Often, the transition from partner degree/law to pure law is a rude awakening for many. To be fair, it is an intense course and the learning curve is steep. Further, after many years at uni, many start...
