    newbie seeking help

    Essentially at this point there is no real fixed outcome, but many classes would have a sort of workshop on ideas and writing - discussing texts you could use to research into the medium and genre/style you hope to write in, preparing your proposal and going over the syllabus and what it means...

    Why did only humans develop our great brains?

    Well, honestly we have to look at the other intelligent species and ask - why did they not evolve into dominance in preference to us? Parrots for instance have high fairly decent colour vision - much like primates. Also like primates they have strong cognitive skills in that certain species...

    Repeating HSC/Transferring Advice

    I was under the impression that it was less because the thread starter has only been in her course for three years and has a UAI rather than a TER. However if the five years have passed you are right, that changes things.

    Repeating HSC/Transferring Advice

    Hey Four Years Wasted, firstly there's a thread containing information on this kind of topic here Secondly as you've probably guessed by now any age can sit the HSC, thirdly I'm not sure the limited UAI would work with you or not, you would have to ask UAC because technically you already have a...

    Which related texts?

    Personally I'm using Dorothy Porter's "The Monkey's Mask" as well as the watchmen arc of Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series. That way if they ask for two relateds they get two, and if they ask more then I only need expand my second set. Also as tomcats has said above there is nothing wrong...

    Creative - can we write the beginning of a story?

    Hmm...this is something that was discussed in my class, and we even analysed a piece that achieved quite high marks doing what you did, however I think you are better off writing something which is whole in of its self, otherwise you run the risk giving the marker the idea you were incapable of...

    2006 poets, where art thou?

    When you say something on a forum you are not merely making a statement to a computer monitor, you are dealing with people and if out of courtesy you would not dismiss someone or their work as blather or ravings in person I see no reason why the same should not apply here. While I do not...

    Link Database for writing & research

    I'm going to bump this thread since research into the medium is one of the things that all of you 06ers should be doing and it might be nice to stick some of this stuff into your journal.:) It should be noted though, that any 'how to write' guides you read are only opinions - its your work in...

    Late Round Offers & Alternative Pathways

    They don't have them - what they do have is basically a more expensive version of the TPC at UNSW and USYD doesn't really have anything, unless you count the Conservatorium's Diploma of Music as one but thats a different animal all together.

    The Name

    That's very impressive! Good on you!:) My Major was essentially a transformation of Cinderella where she sold herself for happiness and Charming was blinded by futile desires - in the end they both neuter their own wants and needs for what they think is a 'happy ending'. Hence I gave it the...

    I have LLB/BA in Communications at UTS as my first preference - its one I doubt I'll get but we all need to hope for a miracle sometimes. Then the rest are either BAs or BA/Bsomething at MQ, USYD or UNSW and they are all with the goal of getting me into something psychology related or as a...

    James Ruse are cheaters and the BOS do not care.

    My thoughts - there are plenty of generic skills you learn in school and its perfectly acceptable for selective schools to teach them at a higher standard. What is not acceptable is for them to learn specific ideas and information that is forbidden by Board ruling to school - its a crud ruling...

    Using other Major Works

    Inspiration is limitless and all literature is borrowed to an extent so you are free to be inspired by any major work you read but be very careful not to regurgitate concepts. In theory it is the same as any piece of work, but it may seem lax if you don't take quite a different route in...
