    Which clubs and societies will you be joining?

    What does it mean to be part of a society? Will I be invited to functions and stuff? None of them seem that exciting. I really love history, but there doesnt appear to be anything like that. I also enjoy socialist theory, but I'm scared that the Socialist clubs will just be a bunch of SA...

    Blade Runner - Director's Cut or Final Cut?

    I believe the different is ending in one edition. Not sure, but I think the Director's cut makes it a more happy and optimistic ending by showing Deckard and Rachael driving off into the future (not 100% sure, havent watched it). But the other version is more realistic, Graff questions the...

    English question

    Yes. You have to keep a detailed log of your work, so I highly doubt you will be able to make it look credible. If you cant do the work, just drop the class.

    Who else plans on doing a Bachelor of Arts at USYD in 2012?

    Haha, I really cant stand the SA. I used to subscribe to Green Left Weekly, but I found myself reading less and less of it as I skipped all of the sensationalised bullshit. By the end I had lost interest completely and would just throw it out as soon as it came. Plus talking to those kind of...

    Critical response - a silly question

    You need a thesis, or something to investigate. Its not like a question that is a yes or no answer. For example, you may look at "Shakespeare's portrayal of women" and find that he is a misogynist largely because of his historical context. You can also do really broad things like: "a...

    [offer] Will read and critique essays for free.

    I'm pretty bored and have nothing better to do, so I'm offering my service to objectively read and evaluate any essays people want to send me. However, please note: any criticism or comments I make are more of a judgement or personal preference type thing. I did pretty good in the HSC but I...

    How to memorise your Essays

    I feel that memorizing essays is a bad way to approach any exam. You never know what the question is going to ask, so route learning is a really bad habit to get into. You can save a lot of time and effort by just memorizing concepts and ideas and applying them to the examination question. The...

    Public school system and HSC

    I attended a public school ranked close to 400. Nobody else in my cohort got an atar of over 80, my brother and I ranked 1st and 2nd in all of our subjects. His atar: 95.65 My atar: 96.65 There's nothing wrong with public education, assuming that you put in the effort.

    Genuinely scared, seeking answers.

    I was in the same boat as you this year (well not the bombing out part). I wanted an atar of at least 85+ to get into my Uni course, and assumed that my decision to do IT would hold me back. Just put in a fuck load of effort. Rock all of your exams and study like fuck. I ended up with a hsc...

    Who else plans on doing a Bachelor of Arts at USYD in 2012?

    As someone who loves socialist theory and history, this sounds fucking awesome. However, I'm a bit cautious to do such an isolated history subject. Although there are many events I'd love to study, it seems like a lot of other topics have a more practical value. For example; Iran's 1979...

    Iran

    Iran has been fucked up for a number of years now. Is it not true that Iran exists as a backward, Islamic republic that remains very hostile toward Western values, which among democracy includes the tenets of humanitarianism. in the 1980s supporters of the Iranian revolution occupied the...

    Who else plans on doing a Bachelor of Arts at USYD in 2012?

    Remove Political Economy and I'm the exact same. I attended the P.E lecture today but I wasnt engaged...too much economics. Any general idea of what topics you plan on studying in the other three? For Govt, I think I might take something middle eastern. I have a really broad interest in...

    Which University is right for me?

    I'm looking to do a BA in 2012. My atar was 96.65 which means I have a wide selection of possible universities. I am unsure what I want to do career-wise, however I am very much interested in Postgraduate study (assuming I keep up the work). I am interested in History, Philosophy and...

    Who else plans on doing a Bachelor of Arts at USYD in 2012?

    85 is the requirement, I received 96.65 so I'm pretty certain to be accepted. Anyone else? What subjects do you plan on selecting? Also, can anyone tell me how many subjects we get for the first year, I've been told 8 but I am yet to confirm this. Thanks
