u can do 27 without approval. i'm doing 27 this session. i dont think it should matter what faculty ur in since it's all self-enrol anyway, but don't quote me on it (i do arts/law). but you mite need approval from ur faculty if you want to follow a different program to the typical program (i had...

what about salvador dali's artworks - 'the persistence of memory' and 'the disintegration of the persistence of memory'? :p

hey stuwy :) well it seems like nick covered it all i think what you may have been confused about is the difference between the crime fiction genre (specifically) and questions about the concept of genre in general. both are possible. i don't think there will necessarily b one essay question...

you do need to understand genre theory you do not need to write a lot about it. if your teacher is anything like mine was then a lot of the stuff in that fat book will be useless (but reading it might help to consolidate your ideas about genre theory) i dont think you need to use the words...

oh sorry..i thought u were saying before that you were studying in the wild and powerplay..but just realised that might not have been what u meant... if you're doing emma/clueless then these are your texts for module a advanced (comparative study of texts and contexts - question 1 paper 2)...

ok...you're doing advanced english right? everybody who does standard or advanced english does the aos (journey). there are 3 focuses within the aos - physical journeys, inner journeys and imaginative journeys. there are different prescribed texts for each focus. you only study one focus, and...

dont feel bad, yeah overall it's def. a decent essay and you raise some good points. i like the way you link the theme of Cinderella with that of Strictly Ballroom, and then compare the texts :) but yeah, just some constructive criticism - it sounds a little like you've just written out your...

rofl..that should be voltaire, yeats, shakespeare, john webster and the german word for 'bligh' :P your focus should be more on the characteristics of the crime fic genre than on genre theory as a general concept. but you should demonstrate awareness of how concepts of genre theory relate to...

imho you're right when u say u could use it to ur advantage by saying that the cf genre is best suited to pop-culture conventions. the roots of the cf genre were embedded in the context of popular culture, and using your prescribed & supplementary texts u could argue that it has historically...

um, to clear things up..dramatic irony and sophoclean irony are the same thing :) dramatic irony is just more commonly used by hsc eng teachers, i think like allyteaded already pointed out, dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the characters (or some characters) do not (like when...

MAP ppl seem to like the course...from what ive heard it's pretty hands on lke u get to make films & stuff compared to other courses (eg LAW, which i've just started this sem, and is absolute murder workload-wise), comm workload is really pretty light in 1st yr. there are 4 subjects and for the...

hiya kat... well, maybe u could look at texts that use image to shape meaning in a similar way to strictly ballroom...ok that's vague, i kno...but like for example, baz luhrmann conveys mood/atmosphere thru use of colour - u could find another text type (eg an artwork or cartoon) that employs a...

hey ash.. i do communications (public comm) at uts :P, but yeah am kinda thinking of transferring to writing myself coz pubcomm is full of professional research stuff and it's pretty non-creative atm.. absolutely everyone i know that does writing and cont cults ABSOLUTELY loves it...seriously...

we got given a glorified overlong version of CMLD as a guide: Legislation Cases Media reports Documents Law reports International Moral and ethical :rolleyes:

my teacher told my friend last yr that it was really important she kept to the limit, but if she was really pushed 100 words or so over should be ok. when i had trouble hacking at my reflection statement, she said that i'd probably get away with 10% over... but then i got it down to 1499 words :D

rayanz - your 3u & 4u marks have no impact on each other - both subjects are scaled independently. all it means is that you're 3u mark might not count towards your uai and your 4u almost certainly will :)

i think it is possible to request an impartial remark if you don't think the mark was justified. and you're definitely entitled to an explanation for why you were given a 12. is there anyone else you can show it to for feedback? like the head teacher english or some such person?

i think they might have moved kl from module b to mod a. don't quote me on it though

you don't actually need to be studying whatever you link your work to - i crapped on about how postmodernism influenced me heaps, but it wasn't one of my electives (hell, i didn't even understand it!):eek:

christopher brookmyre is a good author if you don't really like crime fiction much (like me). he's a satirist, so there are elements of a lot of other genres in his books too i also did carmen sandiego (you know the really ancient computer game?) as a sup text..that was a last minute thing...
