    Journal - specifics

    Your journal essentially should go toward two purposes: 1) Your thoughts, ideas and reflections - basically all the raw daily dribble that comes into your head about your work. 2) Showing just what you've done, and that you've done it, so chuck in excerpts from websites or books that you've...

    Non Award - Languages Question

    If you want to bypass the UAI requirements, you could always apply for the CertLang instead(which has options to upgrade to a DipLang or BA) which has HECS places as well - only catch would be you'd need to apply for 07 enrollment rather than midsession.

    Which Do You Think Is Harder?

    Performance in the courses is something you originally felt was hampered in MX2, but furthered in EE2 due to interest. However your recent posts indicate that performance and interest are almost independent of each other. I'm actually not attacking the viewpoint that MX2 is hard, but my...

    Which Do You Think Is Harder?

    This has nothing to do with what I said - you originally raised the issue that MX2 was more difficult because the topics were fixed and thus students would be affected by their lack of interest. Making the argument that many are good at it anyway is self defeating - why raise the point of...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Its actually been around far longer than that even - considering monkeys(incl. chimps, our closest known relative), goats, albatross, dolphins, parrots, penguins, flies etc. have same sex relations then it was probably present from the moment life forms evolved the ability to have sex...

    Assessment: Viva Voce

    It means quite simply(at least IMO) that they want you to clearly lead the discussion, they want a presentation as opposed to them interrogating you. For example you would initiate a discussion of how your work is suited to an audience rather than the teachers having to ask you questions on each...

    Marks/grades etc.

    Thanks for answering everyone - I pretty much got the final verdict back meaning I basically have to HD every other assessment for the subject to pass.:( Though apparently more than half the students are in the same boat...

    Autoethnography anyone?

    Ha! I had to lead a tutorial for the class in this topic for cultural studies - its pretty simple once you get your head around what an auto-ethnography is, for example certain types of blogs would qualify as auto-ethnography, short films about yourself would, a short story depicting a part of...

    Bullies take sticks and stones from playground to internet

    It seems to me, that one of the larger issues in restricting bullying is interpretation of exactly what bullying is - regardles of whether its in the playground or on the net. Teachers may not always recognise some of the things kids accept as a given in behaviour and this given is always...

    Which Do You Think Is Harder?

    You'll find that the discrete mathematics in say software engineering actually makes the MX2 course look like childs play. The nature of the MX2 course is far more generic and syllabus bound than university maths and it doesnt really work out to equate MX2 with university maths - the content is...

    Can any past ext2 students help me out?

    Re: Am I the only demotivated wreck here? If nearly everyone in the class was similarly marked then you're hardly disadvantaged because your ranks aren't really set back.

    Which Do You Think Is Harder?

    You are never going to get a definitive answer in this - ever. This is simply because too many people will bring in their personal prejudices and too few people have even attempted both. Personally as someone who has done both, I think the two subjects are incomparable on any scale of difficulty...

    How valuable is Ext2 English?

    Scaling generally means little to nothing if you are an able student and at this stage shouldnt be something you should be too worried about, however Extension 2 English does have pretty good scaling. Check out the scaling chart on the main site page for more info.:)

    who's started?

    Would it be possible to get another main actor? Maybe ask a drama student from your school?

    who's started?

    Glitterfairy is right - just work, don't ask about other people or even focus on your situation, just work. Script some scenes, buy/rent/research/borrow the props or costumes you may or may not need, just focus on your work. The worst thing is wasting time worrying when you could have...

    PM blasts 'rubbish' books in schools

    Its nice see the prime minister appealing to popular opinion in order to insult the state government. I wonder how he can not know what outcomes are? I also wonder how much he really has to say on the topic when postmodernism seems to be the only thing he's commenting on, especially when its the...
