Ah, I see what's happening, you're looking at the plan for combined law, which has a slightly different structure because after 1st year emphasis is mainly on law subjects, so those doing law have the later SI subjects more spread out. Apparently in this course Political Theory is compulsory, (I...

Are you sure you read that right? That's the 200-level disciplinary choiceblock. In my degree plan (granted it's from 2004, but should be the same) that's there for 2nd year. However, in 3rd year you get to choose an option from *any* disciplinary subject, maybe they just messed that up somehow...

Keeping in mind that I come from a Social Inquiry perspective: Australian History & Politics: Can be fairly dry, but I learnt some useful things. Political Theory: I absolutely adored this subject, possibly because I was in a good tutorial but I just found it really fascinating. Social...

If you want a BA, don't come to UTS. Our Humanities faculty consists entirely of communications, hence the social science focus. And all the courses at UTS aree vocationally oriented, that's pretty much their main selling point, so I'm really thinking that you'd hate the style of degree UTS...

I'm the first to admit that first year is incredibly poorly designed (and I think my year made ourselves quite clear on that to a number of tutors on a number of occasions). And it's very research-oriented, which angered me greatly, but once you get the compulsory crap out of the way they'll...

I'm in 2nd year Social Inquiry, and I'm really enjoying it. But I have to stress that it's not a course for everyone (quite a few people transferred after first year to other Communications degrees). The biggest thing to consider is that Social Inquiry is not directed towards a career. There's a...

Hmmm, I used to know how you'd go about that but couldn't tell you now...although I'd recommend the Faculty Student Centre (level 2 of Building 3) as your first stop, they'd be able to tell you exactly how to go about it all:)

Although, like all degrees, there are obviously other options once you graduate than a cadetship from a major media company...Ash would be able to say more I know, but it's really important to remember that there are innumerable places you could take a BA Comm(whatever)...Although as a SOcial...

Although if you have two dense subjects in one day it can be the worst decision you ever make...especially in essay week. This time last semester I was stoked with my two day week, by week 13 I was regretting it something severe:) But then, I know you're much more organised than me Ash, so...

Having only borrowed two books this semester, I haven't managed to get any fines yet, and I only had a few dollars worth last year...but I find it hilarious near the end of the year when everyone is scared to even walk into the library in case they get tackled by some sort of library SWAT unit...

And being a journo subject and not a social inquiry subject, i guess it's probably necessary to have something of a clue what you're writing in that dreaded essay:p I feel for you Ash! Meanwhile, my extreme relief at finishing everything resulted in my stupid self returning a book from my...

Woohoo, all finished...and before 3.30am too, much better than I was expecting:p I even get a nap before I have to get up to hand all this stuff in!

Yeah, the randoms that are replacing Mel are terrible...and yes, I was on a name basis with one of the Loft staff, she knew everyone's coffee orders and now she's gone *sniff* But there's the one guy there who makes the best coffee EVER, unfortunately he's never working when I go...which is...

So it's week 14, what does everyone have due? Who's planning on at least one all-nighter this week to write essays? Anyone disgustingly organised and not panicking at this point? Share your stories, make me feel less alone in my last minute stress! For my part, I'd like to express...

Exactly, although I'm quite willing to let everyone else knock the loft, because it's quite hard enough to snag a couch as it is now that the first years seem to be moving in:p

Not all the boys in communications are gay...just most:p

Form John Carr, this surprises me not at all...although I love the 'Escape from UTS' video they have to show at events and stuff, apparently you're meant to leave the person in a wheelchair just sitting in the stairwell when you evacuate...it never fails to get a laugh, but kinda frightening if...

I wouldn't say Social Inquiry, it's more research and policy based, not particularly relevant at all...journo possibly, but Ash could give far more insight there than I could, so I won't even try:)

They can't be entirely blamed for their behaviour, subjects like CC1/2 and the like encourage and reward such wankiness...I have to admit to buying into it on occasion, it rarely fails to make you look intelligent/like you have some vague clue what you're talking about. Although there are those...

My knowledge of Writing is fairly limited also, but I'll do my best here... I think the core writing subjects in first year (don't know about beyond that) may cnsist of just a 3-hour workshop/seminar thing or something like that. Which would explain the lack of lectures, but don't quote me on...
