    Hating Single Life...

    I have to admit that I'd rather not be single, and the reason is probably somewhat shallow in the idea that I'm simply very curious to experience that kind of intimacy with someone. It is also partly wounded pride, simply because I haven't really met anyone before that found me attractive (girls...

    Do You Think You'll Do A Postgraduate Degree?

    How does that work? Aren't you only going into the honours in 2008? Or do you mean the pre-honours subjects?:confused: I somehow don't see myself getting a full scholarship, and I'll probably be tutoring anyway at some point. The idea of not being out there doing what I want to do by the time...

    Do You Think You'll Do A Postgraduate Degree?

    At UTS, if its a research pg course then you can compete for an RTS place which has free tuition (though you still have to pay on-going academic related costs). Anyone else who either does not get in to an RTS place or does it part time must pay full fee. With the Honours, sometimes if you do...

    Game as ORM?

    The Board of Studies is of the view that any object can be considered a text, so you're well within your rights to analyse a game. This does not mean however, that any object is worth analysing or easy to analyse. So students should feel free to analyse things from other mediums such as video...

    Rabbit Proof Fence as RM

    While you may also take for related material the texts that are on the prescribed list for the english course, it is in general not recommended as you must analyse them in a way that is separate from [i.e come up with more original content] what is taught on them which generally creates more...

    Subgenres of crime fiction

    I think its innapropriate to consider the postmodern as a genre, its similar to saying feminism or racism or globalism are genres. Rather they are they are modes of thought which can be utilised in discourse (whether fictional or factual). However there are many writers who employ postmodernism...

    Audience Help !!!

    Here are some links from which you can glean enough information on audience (at least enough to get you started) on the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency: http://www.randomhouse.com/features/mccallsmith/features_author_qa.html http://women.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,17909-2061099,00.html

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I think its passing the buck too much if we blame bigotry solely on religion, all of us possess some sort of bias and often we attempt to justify it anyway we can. Perhaps a good example is how so many people may dislike lies but they brush them off fairly easily, yet that is a far more...

    Dune

    Oh yes and there is also the whole Kwizatch Haderach type thing going on with Rand as well, there are also superficial similarities between Rev. Mother Gaius Mohiam and Elaida. It should be remembered though that Robert Jordan is a genre writer in the purest sense, he borrows from absolutely...

    New NCAP Moderator

    This actually dissapoints me slightly, not that you are becoming a moderator but that you intend to moderate instead of expressing your thoughts - your perspective is one that is fairly highly valued (at least I think so), especially in the midst of the departure of many of the other mainstays...

    Dune

    Hi everyone! So who here has read/is reading the Dune series by Frank Herbert? What did you think? What is your favourite character/organisation from Dune? What do you think about the author's son Brian Herbert writing the series now? So I guess I should start off, well I've read all...

    question about anu and uc

    The main reason UC candidates would be able to get an additional communication degree after a year is because they probably would have done studies in that area during the initial three years, leaving less subjects to go through when commerce is finished. As ANU doesn't offer these communication...

    Number of undergrad law students in NSW

    The Good Uni Guide will list how many students each university will have in each law faculty, so I suppose if you added up the NSW university figures from that then you'd get a decent estimate (though unfortunately it would not contain LPAB Diploma students as well).

    Subgenres of crime fiction

    I disagree with you all - Real Inspector Hound pwned Anil's Ghost in every way. 'But I love...Albert!' Yes it is, however postmodernism is a rather important ideology that influenced genre theory so its important you be aware of the changes new ways of thinking change the genre (which is...

    Do You Think You'll Do A Postgraduate Degree?

    Yep, it'll be an MCA(Creative Writing) or an MTeach(Secondary) or a GDipJourn. I'd do either the teaching or journalism ones right after depending on which area I find more attractive to work in, then when I'm a bit older I will do an MCA part time. I wouldn't touch a PhD with a ten foot pole...

    Free/Subsidised Education

    Oh they could still do those courses, they just wouldn't be eligible for industry scholarships. Rather they'd be on a similar footing to those I outlined for humanities/performing arts students - which I think is a valid proposal, if they wish to study something for the sake of it.

    Subgenres of crime fiction

    Don't worry ellejay, I'm sure that no one is hostile here - it is just a healthy discussion (and its about time there was one of those in this forum!:p) with differing points of view, which I think is the best kind there is.:) I do have some points to raise in response to your post though...

    "at least one"

    the Stimulus Booklet It is expected that you will use one stimulus piece in your AOS essay in paper 1. Many teachers recommend that you study more than one as it may aid you in your understanding of what the Board of Studies means by Journeys however it is generally not expected you use more...

    Free/Subsidised Education

    In my mind this is how it should go: Primary school most obviously should be supported, and I believe so should secondary school (including the HSC) but I believe the public/private system should be balanced - public and private schools should be funded equally and in order for a school to...
