    BOS RPG Thread.

    Hmmm, there is a problem though - unless the GM is a reading room mod/smod/admin, how are they going to ensure the rules of the game are followed? It won't work if all the GM can do is throw tantrums at rule breakers, and similarly it might be hard to bestow each GM with mod-esque powers over...

    Eas/uws

    Yes they do - they award bonus points if your EAS application has been approved by them. However they will not notify you by mail if you have been either accepted or rejected.

    Transfer from BA to BA/BEd (Humanities)?

    Firstly, USYD doesn't offer a DipEd, it instead offers a graduate BTeach/MTeach program and secondly (at least at MQ, ACU and UNSW) with the grad DipEd you can choose two teaching methods just like with the BEd. It should also be noted that USYD's BTeach/MTeach program allows you to teach in two...

    Which University?

    UWS has a (comparatively) bad reputation because many of the areas it is adept in are not generally well percieved by students. For example it has strengths in agriculture and hospitality and various other applied areas and of course psychology and acting. To further the problem, most students...

    difference between subjects/units/electives?

    A subject is exactly that...it can be philosophy or microbiology or interpretive dance etc. Units are basically the individual modules you study as part of your program. Electives are units that have been chosen by you as opposed to a required subject which you must do, an elective is a...

    Crime Fiction: Analytical Quotes

    The two best texts for this purpose would be The Skull Beneath the Skin and The Real Inspector Hound, both abound with commentary regarding the complexities of the genre at various points. I won't give you specific quotes because it would be better for you to learn to recognise these in the...

    Crime Fiction

    The Bone Collector, Se7en and Beneath the Skin by Nicci French all involve serial murders, and I strongly reccommend Beneath the Skin as it provides a psychological look at the victim, criminal and to a lesser extent the detective.

    Distance issues

    Well I face a similar issue as you (I'm a shireling as well *cries with shame*) but it realy isn't that bad - the quickest way is to get a train to townhall/central then change over to Chatswood and get a bus from there to MQ(there's heaps of buses heading that way). *If* you mismanage...

    Anyone doing teaching?

    This confuses me slightly...so are you saying someone in a 4 year degree starts out on a lower payroll than one in a 5 year? For example the USYD BA/BEdu is a 5 year degree(not honours) and the same degree at UNSW is 4 years(also not honours). So would their payrolls be different even though...

    Getting To Uni

    The TPC your teacher informed you about is a HSC equivalent run by TAFE NSW - you do not transfer from it, you recieve a TES(Tertiary Admissions Statement) which ranks you for university entry. It is in essence a type of repeating however many undertake this course if they are more skilled at...

    A UAI of 00.05?

    Considering they use the amount of people who sat the SC(not results), then you are most likely correct. In fact a large portion of the 'below 30' group would probably be empty ranks left for the dropouts.

    Psychology - confused

    Those are just your core subjects - ie you have no choice, you must do them to complete your degree much like with 2u English for the HSC. You also do other units which are electives meaning you choose them for yourself.
