Melinda Cooper. Last year she took Social Inequality and Contemporary Sociological Theory. Apparently she can speak French. Cannot find a photo

Melinda Cooper - Department of Sociology & Social Policy - The University of Sydney

Is she any good? Have you decided what your thesis is?

 

[Silver Persian]

I like her And unlike a certain sociology lecturer we all know, she actually has articles published in journals, book chapters and even a monograph.

At the moment my project could be on:
-sociology of sport
-experiences of ageing in an ageing society
-emo subculture

but idk...

I've got my confirmation of enrolment today and my fee went up b7 $36 compared to last semester. I'm still doing Arts subjects, why the increase?

Last year each unit cost $624, this year it's $650, is that allowed considering I'm a continuing student?

inflation?

 

[amber44]

inflation?

I thought they weren't allowed to raise fees once you started your degree, otherwise they'd be free to raise their fees knowing they've got you locked in until you complete your degree.

Fees are indexed to CPI, always have been. Your HECS debt from last year if you have one will have increased by the same amount.

I regret to inform you that your application to represent the University of Sydney at the 3rd AC21 Student World Forum at Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany has been unsuccessful.



The calibre of submissions from other students was very high and the competition for one of the University of Sydney’s three allocated spaces was very rigorous. I can advise that your submission was ranked 4th out of the applications which means that should one of the selected nominees be unable to attend the Forum I would be pleased to nominate you. I will contact you by email should this situation occur.

It's during the 2nd week of exams, so I really hope someone will pull out when they notice that. My exams are pretty easy to move around (assuming stats is in the first week).

4th is the suckiest thing ever. Even worse than 3rd.

I wouldn't have complained about getting 4th place if 4 people were allowed to go

It was a mission to hand it in as it originally went to the wrong faculty and I had to enter using wireless internet on my phone as I was in a conference in Perth.
