    A massive win for bogans and middle class welfare

    No, I'm referring to the post above where you make this exact statement.

    A massive win for bogans and middle class welfare

    I don't see how you can say the system has an obligation to support you, but you don't have to support it. If everyone thought like that, where the fuck would the money come from to support people like you??!

    HELP,USYD, i try getting a day off my timetable but the column turns blue

    I doubt the guy who left in 5 minutes went very well, lol... That's not long enough to go through them. Was very doable last year in half an hour though. Don't know how hard it was this year.

    You never know :) Don't worry about it yet, heaps of things scale.

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2010)

    Yeah, it's pretty irritating :s You don't have the text book? (though it makes almost no sense anyway, lol) How could you know you've failed microeconomics yet? People often go better in the exams than they think.

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2010)

    Oh, I haven't gone to any lectures at all, lol. Think my study is going ok, though. Don't worry, the average for that quiz was like 4/5. Apparently that component should scale up because everyone did so poorly. Normally everyone does really well in biostats as it's easy.

    A massive win for bogans and middle class welfare

    So many people go to uni now that not necessarily. And if you study arts or something, even less likely.

    Well if you don't need to pass the exam to pass, what are you worried about?

    His dp is funny, it's silly? My god, seems you were one of those boring people who just studied all of their hsc... Get a sense of humour. Anyway guys, the point is that you shouldn't be overwhelmed by all that info, it's not necessary (though it won't hurt, unless you're short on...

    1st n 2nd line of defenses

    I think you'll find most people don't regard the wikipedia definition as how they regard rote learning. No, I don't suggest, I teach, as I teach them how to use the knowledge necessary (which is minimal in HSC Bio) to solve a wide range of problems. A lot of the kids used to just learning and...

    1st n 2nd line of defenses

    No, I think learning unnecessary information when you should be able to work it out with the required knowledge encourages rote learning. Most students have 4 or 5 other subjects to worry about, so I teach them to apply the knowledge they need to a range of situations, not learn extra info...

    1st n 2nd line of defenses

    I'm sorry, but I still don't agree. It's ok, the students I tutor and I got band 6s, guess there's more than one way to get a band six! It's the practising of questions to apply the knowledge necessary that is important. Application of knowledge. That is what the HSC Bio is about, I don't...

    1st n 2nd line of defenses

    Oh, it can help, but it's definitely not necessary. You do NOT need that much to get those eight marks. I feel sorry for those people who write so, so much when they only need half the amount. They still do it at uni when it's not necessary, lol. Of course, if you have a good memory, you...

    You don't need that much detail for a band 6 in bio though.

    ITT: FML I hate uni.

    Probably the only genuinely bad thing is this thread of whining.

    Centrelink - Account Locked

    You wouldn't have been able to upgrade it if you're not already getting centrelink, why were you trying? You just use it to apply until you get accepted.
