Yeah, I am enquiring at uni. I was just wondering if any BoS'ers had any insight into this, that's all. Thanks anyway :)

omg thats so true. I have some fancy schmancy lecturers with higher degrees from harvard, yale, cornell etc etc and they can't teach a concept to save their life. Intelligence is one thing but the gift for teaching is a completely different story.

but the final exam is a component of "overall" isnt it?

one essay, one presentation, 4 finals.......oh God, bring on the holidays :(

he doesnt look that young. I would guess he's around Dennis's age. At first impressions I thought he was young but up close, he looks older.

YES IT WAS!! I sooooooo knew it was gonna be de roos. I got an inkling in my stomach straight after Dennis made that little jedi master joke. The when I saw the notes on Bb, I KNEW there was a huge chance it would be de roos cos who else uses TEXTBOOK slides for lectures! Arghhh. Walked in...

I dont know where you got the impression that Im a purist :P I like all types of music and although this isnt usually my kind of genre, the occasional catchy song is irresistable : lol

meh i already knew that but you didnt have to go ruin it for everyone JAVA...

omg i agree with the david letterman inclusion. I dont know WHY people stay up to watch that drone :mad:

2 unit is sufficient? My friend doing ecmt at the moment reckons that the stats and stuff is covered more in general maths. I mean, I havent done std deviation and means and plots and whatever else since like yr 9/10!! (even then i didnt know what std deviation was!!) Does ECMT have anything to...

hmm, i guess there may be exceptions. I dont do acct so I wouldnt know.

umm yeah of course. Why wouldnt it? Unless, the lecturer (unit coordinator or whatever) says explicitly otherwise, I would assume everything needs to be studied. Of course, not everything can be tested but the point is that everything CAN be tested.

sigh...anyone?

haha although that 40% doesnt sound right, I doubt its far from that (from my experience anyway.) half of the people i have met (and befriended) are full fee int students lol

Hello everyone I posted this in the "income of careers" thread but it was probably more appropriate to start a new thread. Im doing B Commerce (Lib Studies) at USYD at the moment and planning to major in economics. I know that you are automatically a professional economist if you graduate...
