Good luck to all. 3 weeks of Hell, followed by weeks of play!!!
All the best to all for uni and school exams over the next weeks, Just remember a good nights sleep before the exams will do wonders for the memory.

I was going to mention self massage..but thought better of it.. :-X
Back in my day for our chemistry exam we had to write a thousand words on acid.
Unfortunately my pen turned into a gorilla and the floor melted. :-[

English done! Probably took a bit too long on the language analysis (which should take the least amount of time) and the flowered my timing for the rest. Somehow still managed to finish all three essays with about 15 minutes to go, although I probably could and should have squeezed another paragraph into my context essay.
Further Maths multiple choice tomorrow. Don't like maths, stupidest subject out...
Further Maths short answer on Monday 5th. Again, not looking forward to it.
Psychology on Monday 5th also. Yep, two exams on one day, might die. Neither great nor shower at Psych, should get a reasonable result.
VCD/Graphics on Wednesday 14th. Love the subject, probably my favourite, but my VCD skills aren't suited for the exam.
Business Management on Thursday 15th. Final exam, relatively easy, know your product and a 40 study score is easily possible. Good way to finish in my opinion.

The two we covered for text response were On The Waterfront (a stupid film with Marlon Brando) and Twelve Angry Men (there's been worse plays made). Twelve Angry Men was also gonna be my preference.
The two we covered for context were The Crucible and The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif. Didn't like Crucible (the whole things about a power hungry/abusing whore...like seriously?) Had to go with Rugmaker (even though I never even read the whole book fully :P)

Didn't do much on my context books and if I had the chance I would have done Year of Wonders as well as the Old Man Who Read Love Stories.

I found a hint or 2 for your maths or physics exams...
A letter G walks into a Hexadecimal bar,
The bar man says, "Why the wrong base?"
Pythagoras walks into a bar muttering, 'If a right-angled triangle has a short side, X, a long side, Y, and hypotenuse, Z, then the square of Z must be equal to the sum of the square of X and the square of, erm... uh...'
The barman says, 'Y, the long face?'

the SACE is so easy to abuse... you do the shower subjects, get a good grade, and get a higher ATAR than a really smart person who does hard subjects and does OK in it
That's why I'm doing the easy science subject next year ;)

I know my friends are planning it, but I'm not keen. I'm low on cash (then again, when am I not?) so I figure selling my books for a decent price could get me a bit of money. Most of my books are in fairly good condition too. Might burns the notes and stuff though.

Good luck to all! I'm currently in year 11 so doing 1/2 subjects mainly which have exams in 2 weeks but am doing 1 3/4 subject (legal) next Friday which I am pretty nervous about. Have gone pretty well on SACs though so should be ok.

ATAR weights the different subjects mate. eg. An A in specialist maths and an A in maths apps dont count for the same towards score.
Good luck to all those year 12's with exams.. Went through it last year. Came out on top :P If you guys seriously need any tips for Methods, Spech, Chem, Accounting (ESPECIALLY ACCOUNTING CAUSE IM PRO AT IT), just give me a PM or post it here and im sure someone will figure it out
Had one uni exam today. Oral Health Science B. Easy :P
he is *kind* of right.
but you have to be really smart. For instance, if you do general maths (in NSW, lowest type of atar maths), rather than doing 3un, you get 100% and it's going to be close to 100% anyway.
basically, yeah, do the easy subjects, but when you say smash, you literally need to have to get close to full marks. Or, yu do the harder subjects, and you get shower marks, and they get scaled up (for instance, from memory a 50 in 4un maths in nsw (which is a bit harder than the hardest vic maths), if you get 50%, if scales to a 90)

In VCE at least, if you do the 'hard' subjects you get scaled up more because technically all the 'smart' people will do them and thus there is more scaling to even it out.
But if you do the 'easy' subjects, then unless you pretty much full marks (so 50) when you would get scaled down.
Eg. Doing Further Maths which is considered 'easy' may not be beneficial as getting a 50 is incredibly hard (due to everyone thinking it is easy), and small mistakes can be costly, you could make 5 small mistakes which costs you 5 study scores (so 45) and then further scaling down (to low 40's).
Rather, you could do Specialist Maths (or Maths Methods) which is harder, get a 'decent score' (say 35) and this will scale it up to above 40
My outdoor Ed study score was only 37 :P
All my subjects get scaled down >:(
High 30s in both English and Bus Man means I only need roughly a combined study score of 50 between two of Further, VCD and Psych to get the ATAR I need. My Religion and Society (which I did last year) study score is bound to be outside my top 4 as I only got 25...

Saw your posts on the ATAR Notes forum, BoredSaint. Nice ATAR too by the way! I'm worried that with all my subjects being scaled down that I mightn't even get the ATAR I need.

Flower, we got an Einstein over here. :P
Thats my hope :P realistically I'd take anything over 80 :)

Had one uni exam today. Oral Health Science B. Easy :P
Can't remember what you went into as you had an interview at a Uni for Dentistry I think.

My outdoor Ed study score was only 37 :P
You've already beaten my Highest Raw from last year which was English at 36 :P. Still managed 87.55 so proves you don't need 40's to get a solid score :).
I'm not sure I get this.
What's the 30's and 40's thing about?

Isn't that the score you get per exam. Then it's all added up into one final ATAR?
Oh okay. Well I'm lost, maybe I should lower that target ATAR of mine :P
You live in WA yeah?
What do they call the certificate over there?

You live in WA yeah?
What do they call the certificate over there?
I do, its called WACE
Ah... Forgot you lived in WA. The scores are up to 50 in VCE is a study score (ranked for those who do the subject) which include your Sac marks + exam results. Getting a score over 40 means you got into the top 7% of the state doing that subject, score 45+ means top 2% doing it.
Why you got some people saying scores like that in here.
Right. Not sure if you've heard/used it but this is a pretty handy tool that can determine your final score.

Ahhh I see, thanks hp. I saw Nigey say he got 37 and I was like damn, poor bloke thinking it was out of 100!?
Yeah cheers Windy, used that before :) there are like 5 different sites that can calculate it :)
Haha, no worries. :P
I'd be happy with a 50 atar in VCE. ::)

Well kinda beasted it.. 99.75. But ATAR's arent everything in life, so if you don't get what you wanted, ITS OK! There are many ways to get to where you want in life.
And in regards to HP. Yep im studying Dentistry, at Latrobe Uni actually. Although its Bendigo campus so kinda live up there now :P

@BS, Did you always want to be a Dentist? Or just a doctor in general? How did you go on the UMAT? Pretty big commitment in dentistry, good luck!
*pretty well in every subject...Sorry, I just really wanted to correct someone who got 99.75 :P

A lot of people from school are going to Surfers.
I haven't got enough cash and huge parties/huge booze ups aren't really my thing TBH. :P
Will head up to the murray after last exam with a few mates. :)
In year eleven, but have unit 4 Psych exam tomorrow... I hate Psych :(
Only did it because there was a SERIOUS lack of choices in my tiny school.
Hoping for a B at the most :P
So your not psychologically ready for a psychology exam....
Your flowered. :P
Lol :P
I'm just too good at procrastinating!
Is that a subject? :P
I wish!
If that, FIFA and supercoach were subjects I'd have a sick ATAR :P

I wanted to be a dentist in year 12. So I did the UMAT. Didnt do exceptional (86th percentile), and you need around 95 to get into med.. But after ATARs came out, Monash Uni offered me an interview for Med (cause of ATAR), went and did that, but they didnt offer me a place :'(
Latrobe offered me a place in Dent. And ive been enjoying it ever since :D
DAMN, my English skills are quite poor as you can see :P

But why did you go for the med interview at monash if you wanted to be a dentist? I am sure you would get another interview if you applied again this year if you really wanted to do it... (that's what my friends did, like 5 of them got in the second time)
I just rocked up for the UMAT (at the time I wasn't sure if I wanted to do pharmacy) and got 85th percentile, so...you beat me :P

I thought that Med would open more pathways in the future compared to dent. I was really set on dent, and I even went to an interview in Adelaide for dent. But then Med gave me an interview, and I thought why not :). But I didn't think it was worth waiting another year, when it isnt guaranteed that a second chance will come, so when I got an offer for dent, I took it :)
ahaha. Was hoping to do a little better on the UMAT since I did do some prep :P

I was going to go to Echuca/Moama with like 5 other friends but then two of them decided they were going on a school trip to China. That was all well and good until they moved that trip forward so it clashed with schoolies. Not going now. :(
Still planning an end of year/school party with the others that are still here, that should still be fun. ;D
Im not going anywhere
Poor planning has got it out of control now was enjoying spending it withj close friends then someone else got catch of plans and started inviting people left right and centre :( ( and they put limits on the amount of alcohol you could drink!!, like 3 cans a night is supposedly the limit!)
and i deciided to move back to NSW for the summer so leaving just after exams :P
Im going to Magnetic Island for new years with extended Family so that should be good
I have my half-brother's wedding on the 24th of Novmber, so I'm keen for free booze there :P
After that I'll go up to visit my dad near Shepparton for a week or two, relax and drink :P
So anyone going to the GC for Schoolies?!?!

Don't think about it, move on and kill the rest of your exams. No point stressing about it now as you can't do anything about it. Worry when all your exams are done :)
Think I absolutely flowered my extended response for Psych today :-X

That's the aim. Got a huge 8 day break between now and my next exam, gonna do all that I can to do the best I can on those to compensate. Didn't help that I was getting raped by hayfever and this stupid cough for the most part of both. Hopefully I'm better come next Wednesday.

3 exams over the next 4 days.
Bring it.

I had chem, bio, physics back to in 2010.
I walked out of bio and slept for 17 hours lol.
sucked in :P
History - good if you've studied
English - pretty good I'd you've done the one hour study requirement.
Maths - flowerk.
My last exam is the 19th. ::)
last year I had 5 exams in 4 days.. 2 maths methods, then 1 specalist maths, then accounting, followed by another specialist maths. that was an awesome week
flower!? Four maths courses? I can't even do 3AB ::)
I've got mine in two weeks from today, 8 exams in five days :-\
You guys are making me reminisce about my high school experiences. I didn't do too badly in my Year 12 exams back in the day, got 93/100 in one of them (Natural Resource Management lol). Got the shower moderated out of me though because I went to a lousy school. :'(
Here's a few memories that stick out -
Never went on to do Maths in Year 12, mainly due to the spectacular incompetence of our teacher the previous year. I remember she got in a huge fight with the class once because as part of an equation she had written 1/2=60%, we tried to tell her it was 50% but she cracked it and refused to acknowledge it was wrong. ::)
I started a poker craze in the final year. Five card stud with a 10 cent ante. At it's height we would have 8 tables set up with 4-6 players plus maybe a dozen more people who were just spectating. The fact this was all going on next to other classrooms meant the noise often alerted teachers who would storm in and drag away kids that were meant to be in their class. Sometimes the pots got up to $10 or $15 so understandably we all started cheating (mostly stacking decks, marking cards or hiding aces under the table) and it all died down after a couple of months.
I remember one time a bunch of the boys had a free lesson so they drew up a table on the blackboard where they could mark off who had done what with girls (kissing, copping a feel, oral etc. etc.) When they left the room they turned the blackboard over so none of it was showing. All was forgotten until a week or so later a comotion was heard coming from the Women's Studies class....Sure enough the teacher had spun the blackboard over and well, you can imagine the reaction!

Speaking of which, my Psych exam on Friday is 50% Research methods :'(. Not to mention a unit I have to do next year (for Psych) is Research methods... T.T

Probably got the better of me as well, don't care anymore. Just happy to be done.
See this yet? http://www.theage.com.au/national/education/history-transformed-in-vce-exam-20121114-29ce7.html
I don't do Revolutions, but I saw the paper and when my mate pointed out the robot I lulz'd.
Finally done! ;D
Now I have to get my Ls and a job...
End of VCE...kids go from being students...to unemployed. :P

Hahaha so true. Seems like I'll be in the minority as I'm still working my IGA shift to fund my gambling problem ;D
Most of my friends have jobs, some even have multiple jobs... :-[
Best feeling wake up today, hmm i might play FIFA all day!! :D
Mum was quick to suggest what I should do with my free time. So, today and the rest of my weekend is cleaning my desk/shelf/room and chuck out all the stuff I won't ever use again. Turns out I'm going to be burning notes after all at my friend's on Tuesday.

me and my mates did something similar when i finished my HSC/year 12 exams. Went to the local park in Wollongong up the mountain and it has little fireplaces for BBQs and about 10 guys all brought their study notes with them to burn. It was a pretty impressive fire except that not only did the local firies turn up but the cops and bushies as well. We were drinking but some of us were 18, others who werent scattered in to the bush, pretty funny. The rest of us stood around like stunned mullets luckily we had an esky full of ice as we had finished all of the beer and the cops and firies were ok with us continuing as long as we kept the fire to with the fireplace. 10 minutes after they all left another mate turns up with 3 boxes of paper and throws them all on.
Memories............
Congrats to all those that are done and dusted and best of luck to those still going. Altough a few decades ago i can still remember walking out of school for the last time and the feeling i had which was thank God thats all behind me now with a spattering of uncertainty mixed in but all in all it was a great feeling.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem like one of those guys who are very smart with school but not so much socially?
Like I know nobody my age who has no job or licence.

A social Butterfly with a sting like a Bee.lol. :P
what are you saying maca?? I got my Ps when i was 29 and have been working for 14 years
Hahaha wtf Maca :P Nice way to generalise the population!
I'm with Zippy here, am 20 years old, don't have a licence or a job (drivers test next week though and will get a xmas casual job), no social issues (besides spending too much time on a football forum) and am studying at monash uni.
I am 19 with no job or license :P. May go for License in January just so I have some ID. Although on the Social issues, possibly although has nothing to do with not having a job :-X. I'm just too lazy for a job ;D.

None taken, mate. I'm actually not the smartest, more of moderate intelligence. :P Yeah, I have little to no social life. It's part of the reason I take to the internet and forums and chats to make friends. I have no licence or job, but I've promised myself that I'll get on to those ASAP because I know with that it will allow me to venture out and meet new people. I'm scoially awkward to a degree, but I take it in my stride. I guess I owe a lot to being lazy and procrastinating, but whatever. I'm a pretty positive person though, I'm sure things will pick up once I get my Ls, a job and start at Uni.

I use Public Transport, but alot of what I do is within an hour walk (friend's houses or parks, etc) so can live :P. Don't use alot of money besides the odd outting so I save from B'day/Christmas/Pocket Money for them. As I enjoy just hanging with some friends at a Park and kicking the footy or go watch movies at a house, nothing expensive involved 8).

I got my L's on my bday when I was 16 like most people. I had knee surgery when I was 17 and that pretty much stopped me from driving for over a year. Then it was VCE exams. Then I learned how to drive in the break between school and uni and did about 60 hours. Uni is in the city, so everyone trains there and I didn't need to ever drive. Then this year I have driven most weekends and have 117 hours so far although it hasn't stopped me from going out. I could wait 6 months and then I wouldn't need hours anyway and just go to Green P's lol but I want my licence for this summer.
I worked from year 9 to year 11, with the intention of using the money during my first year of year so i could party/didn't need a job. Fortunately it lasted me two years because I didn't have petrol to worry about :P
Also, few people who are studying what I study have jobs because it is so hard and time consuming. It is something like the 7th or 9th (I forgot) hardest course in the world, with theoretical physics and physics based courses taking out the top 3.

I need to buy weekly mymulti tickets for uni (since I live 2 hours away :/ ), so I get everywhere by public transport/ lifts depending on whats happening where :P
And centrelink gives me money for that (not heaps of money, but enough to cover basically my ticket, and a small amount of spending money :P ) :P
As for why I dont have my licence... I didn't get my Ls until I was 17, dad works a lot and is also a bit lazy, and so couldn't give me lessons... then I had my HSC, then I worked full time for a bit, and then went overseas. I've managed to crawl my way up to 60 hours, and I was going to BS the rest, but then I snapped my ankle in april (like a week before my birthday :/ ), and it's only just recovered to the point where I can drive safely (but I prefer only doing short distances in good conditions, since I don't fully trust it yet :P ).
My centrelink application was great :P went to the centre with all the documents etc. During the process, we had this discussion.
Lady who was helping me - ok, and how much money do you currently have in your bank account?
*fishes out bank doocument thing* me- $1.23
Lady- .... ok, and how much money do you currently have on you?
*empties wallet and counts* me- 45c.
Lady- ... so all your money atm is... $1.68...?
me-... yeah... I can't even afford the bus, so I have to walk 6km home...
I got my P's bang on my 18th birthday at 8.30 in the morning. 8)
I just work around town. Seeing as I'm one of 4 kids/teens who live in town, I get a lot of calls. ::)
This past week I've earned over $600 doing two jobs. :)
+ $100 in greyhound racing profit. :P

Dickheads will always be dickheads on the road, but in the dry you can let them be but in the wet is when they cause the nightmares
driving is actually really fun when you get up to the speed limit :D
like when I first started I was - as most people are - pretty timid but its actually fun driving at 100 to 110 on the freeways and stuff, like I did today
Still, I wouldn't speed intentionally, especially at my age
Thursday night had about 20 of us had a couple at a mate's place then ventured into the city.
Last night, 15 of us having beers at another mate's house turned into chaos when one passed out and ended up spewing everywhere and another started jumping on the roof of a mate's car and ended up doing about $1000 of damage then passed out on the footpath about 20 minutes later.
Had a friends 18th tonight but didn't drink half as much as I did last night and didn't go out afterwards. Hopefully a quiet one on the cards tomorrow night.
61.45 as an ATAR. I was hoping for 75. Should have dropped out of school to become a pokemon trainer. Oh well, shower happens and life goes on.
not the worst I've seen by any means if it makes you feel better Nigey ;)
I got 90.05 :D wasn't expecting to quite get 90, so happy with that :)
congrats on results guys :)
Yeah well done guys. I just did one 3/4 subject this year as I'm in year 12 next year which was legal and I got 41 which I'm happy with.

great score Henry :o
highest raw I got in any subject I did was 40, so you are definitely on the right track ;)
Thanks lads, still a bit cut. I'll be right in 24 hours though.
34 in Bus Man
31 in English
29 in both Further and VCD
26 in Psych
Was hoping for high 30s - low 40s for Bus Man and English (especially considering my practice exam for English would have been like 38/39...). Also surprised by Psych, thought I might get 30-35.
The ATAR isn't high enough to even compare to any of the clearly-ins for 2012 of any of my preferences, but I did list the Diploma or Tertiary Studies at Monash (Berwick and Peninsula) as an option and that doesn't require an ATAR and is more of an alternative pathway to get into the field one wants.
Basically, I'm looking at my options now and hoping I can still get into Primary Education at ACU.
Hm, was more concerned about Team Picker opening that Atar results. Hm. :P

I have a friend that did that in 2011 and she really enjoyed it. She is now studying Psychology like she wanted to. It'll all work out for you if you put your mind to it. Don't fell discouraged. Good luck with offers.

Thanks lads, still a bit cut. I'll be right in 24 hours though.
34 in Bus Man
31 in English
29 in both Further and VCD
26 in Psych
Was hoping for high 30s - low 40s for Bus Man and English (especially considering my practice exam for English would have been like 38/39...). Also surprised by Psych, thought I might get 30-35.

In a massive swerve, Nigel Saldanha plans to change his last 6 preferences to Management-related courses :o I figured that since I did well in Business Management, I may as well put some of them down in case I end up getting into it. And besides, the scores to get into them are slightly lower too. :P That and I've been told I've got good leadership skills and could make a decent entrepreneur. ::)

im not sure how those scores work, are they out of 50?? I also didnt do well when i did my year 12 exams, but have had to work my ar$e off since. All i can suggest is that you get into something that you enjoy doing and always keep learning. The day you stop learning, is the day you get bored with your job, you wont give 100% and will lose focus

the scores are out of 50, but they are distributed in a bell curve. 30 is the midpoint score (half the students get more than 30, half less than 30 in any one subject) but to get a 40, you have to be in the top 8%. So it is reasonably easy to get 30s in subjects, but very hard to get 40s or higher
But yeah, went into school today and had a chat with my counsellor and careers counsellor. Basically, I've changed my preferences. Now I'm looking at doing Arts at wherever (most likely ACU) and then once I've finished that, doing a Diploma of Education so that I can be qualified for teaching. 8)
I got a 38 in Outdoor Education.
Did shower all study so I'm happy :P

NOW, people tell your stories from last night ;)
I'm only going down to Victor tonight ;)
Tell us YOUR stories, ele!
It pissed with rain the whole time :(
I don't get my results until New Years Eve ::) :(
Went to school, did the assembly shin dig.
Then went down to the pub. Mate won $100 bucks on pokies straight up. >:(
Mine wasnt the best but after hearing some things im still quite confident of getting a course i want :)
My prefrences are full of Business related courses and Journalism
Congrats to everybody who finished Year 12 this year. Great achievement and you should all be proud of yourselves.. Good luck with your Uni courses!
Hope people got into the courses they wanted. :)
I didn't get my first preference, but it was always going to be highly unlikely. (Although, I found out the clearly-in was 62.45 and I got 61.45...sigh)
Got my second preference - Arts at Australian Catholic University and I'm quite happy with that.
Sport Journalism. Always what I've waned to do so I'm thrilled.

Yeah I'm interested in that too, doing year 12 this year. I'm guessing 85-90ish? Could be wrong. Congratulations on getting your first preference :)

80.7 was the clearly in that's at Latrobe uni in the Melbourne CBD but the RMIT journalism course is the better course but the score is 96.
Mining Engineering at Adelaide Uni fellas, pretty pumped!
Anyone else studying there?
So how are all my fellow uni students finding exams at the moment? How many do you have? How many to go? Or are you lucky enough to have already finished?
I have in total 8 exams! Completed 5 so 3 more to go still and I am pretty much dead on my feet. This week consists of an exam every single motherflippin day! :o
Had 4 exams and beasted 3 of them... the last one was interesting haha, will get another crack at it at some point through my course I'm predicting :P
But wtf, 8 exams? I thought I was hard done by with 4 when some of my mates only had one or two :o
Yep 8 exams. I'm doing a masters in physiotherapy so got 4 theory exams and also 4 practical exams demonstrating I can actually do what they have been teaching us. Finish 4.30 on Friday and then I am drinking! (Perhaps a quick nap first...)
I had 3 this semester (personal low after never having less than 4 and almost always having 5 or 6). I think I bossed all three. Really, it was just a good semester for me. I enjoyed what I was studying and worked really hard. Loving uni at the moment :D
I just had the one on June 3rd for Business Studies. 8) Think it went okay, God only knows though...
I also had a take home exam for Communication though, it was actually pretty cool and kinda fun at the same time. I enjoyed it and hope that reflected in the quality of what I did.
And now I don't go back until July 29th! ;D
Had 2 last week. English and Maths Apps. Think I did well in both, however the maths one was crap packed full, needed the full 90 mins and some!
Maths is just a retarded subject, I don't think I'm ever gonna use quadratics or Pythagoras' theorem. Like why did I have to learn that shower? That said, it somehow ended up in my 4 best subjects last year. :P
Haha I scored 50.1% as my final maths mark... And that was the last I ever used it ;)
Maths is super important! You guys should study chemical engineering and then try to mock the usefulness of mathematics!!!

Finished my exams yesterday (although it's technically 2 days ago now that it's after midnight).
Beasted programming fundamentals and discrete maths for computer science.
Intro to business info sytems was alright
Algorithmic problem solving is a flowering stupid subject, and the lecturer is flowering stupid. Still think I went ok though.
Just glad it's over and I have 5 weeks off.
Just finished! WOOOOOOOOOOoOOOOOoOOoOOOoOoooOOO!!!!!
Fair warning lads, may be on the grog for the next two days. Take any advice I may give with a grain of salt and a spoonful of sugar. Actually don't. That would taste fairly shower.
The hardest part of uni so far is making a new flowering timetable for semester 2 hahah.
I had... wait for it...
zero exams.

As if it's shower? Usually the exam is just a rip off of the past few years. Although, with a new lecturer for half the course, it could have been slightly different this time.

Maths is super important! You guys should study chemical engineering and then try to mock the usefulness of mathematics!!!
Haha I have a solution! Don't study chemical engineering! ;)
Commerce-Law, get around. No maths in sight haha!
Depends what you do in Commerce, some subjects have a bit to alot of math involved :P.
4 exams myself, 1 each past 2 weeks and now 2 this week. Sports Economics today so hopefully can do well. But the pain is almost over for all of us :P.
adding shower up, that's cute :P
I had 4 exams, did reasonablly well in 2 of them, but the other 2 I probs failed

MTH1030?! :O
I took a tute for that subject this semester (like, as the tutor). Wouldn't it have been a super amazing coincidence if you were in my class?!
As if it's shower? Usually the exam is just a rip off of the past few years. Although, with a new lecturer for half the course, it could have been slightly different this time.

Well ain't that just awkward. I only know your name because your uncollected test and assignment are just casually sitting on my bedroom floor in a pile.

Let's just say that, if you want to improve in future, some of your fees go toward paying a perfectly capable tutor who can assist you in learning the material ;)

Fun fun fun on the timetable allocation front.
Got Philosophy, Business Studies, Communication and the core subject.
I get on to find out I have been auto-allocated my workshop for Communication as it is the only class time for the subject at 4pm on a Tuesday evening until 7pm. (Who the flower scheduled that, right? ::)) I also find out that Philosophy, the one I haven't done before also has it's lecture on at the time of my Communication workshop. That's the only time they're having a lecture for Philosophy too. Great. :(
On the bright side, three days a week. Mondays and Wednesdays off. ;D And Thursday and Friday classes and back-to-back on both mornings. 8) I decided to withdraw from the Philosophy unit and enrol on the other introductory level Philosophy unit as I assume that won't be at the same time thus creating a clash like I initially experienced. Here's to hoping it's on the Tuesday in the afternoon some time and not on one of Monday or Wednesday. :-X

Changed the unit. My timetable now looks like:
Monday - Philosophy Lecture 12pm-2pm, 4 hour break ::), Philosophy Tute 6pm-7pm
Tuesday - Communication Workshop 4pm-7pm :(
Wednesday - DAY OFF 8) 8) 8) 8)
Thursday - HRM Lecture 10am-12pm ;D (Probably won't go to it)
Friday - Core 10am-11am, HRM Tute 11am-12pm
Overall, It's not too bad. Annoyed about finishing at 7pm on Monday and Tuesday, but I guess Communication is enjoyable.

There is not a chance in hell I'd go in for either of those days unless the classes are compulsory. Just me though ;)
If they're lectures and recorded, just watch them later. If they're tutorials and there are other classes available, just rock up to them even if you're not "allocated" to be in them. If you have no other option... ouch.
haha
I normally only go in for labs... :P

although the doing things for yourself bit is annoying :p
I thought year 12 was awesome and so is uni. It's all about making sure you get what you have to done and make sure to spend time enjoying yourself. Party, do extra-curricular activities, be social. The worst thing you can do is study hard all the time because you lose morale and stop enjoying your studies and, more importantly, enjoying life.
Disclaimer: there are some crazy people out there that actually enjoy studying really hard so that method works for them...
I loved year 12, uni's good as well... it'd be better if I didn't live 2 hours away though.
If you work consistently through semester and then go hard out for finals, you'll smash it.
If you do what I do, and do nothing throughout semester and go hard out for finals, you'll still do pretty well, if you're smart anyway :P
don't get glandular and break your ankle in the same semester while taking 3 subjects that you don't technically have the pre-reqs for though... that's a shower semester :P

Don't do physics after first year. First year is super easy, second year is doable but hard, third year is awful.
Got 2 of my exams back (im studying dentistry btw)
got 81 and 83 which im very happy with since this gives me 2 A's (which is the top grade) :D
I got destroyed in cell bio... and have no idea how- I went into the exam on like low 70s, and I didn't feel great about how I performed... but I finished up with a final mark in the high 50s :S
I think you just answered that mystery yourself. You said you didn't feel great about how you performed. End of sem exams always worth heaps (especially for science), so that's why you would have dropped so much.
I didn't feel great, but I didn't feel like I'd failed it, which I must have for a final mark that bad :P
like, you know you walk out of an exam and you have a rough idea of where you think you sat for the marks :P

Ridiculous.
Am changing courses so I don't have to repeat that unit haha
Damn El :o :o. Try to see if they have a similar course to enrol in if you don't want to do it, although a short term hit for like 12 weeks is worth it if you like your current course.

And I thought I had it bad finishing at 7pm two evenings in a row this coming semester. :( :P
Yeah, sounds killler. I know a friend who does a Tafe course which his earliest start was 4pm, and most of the time was 6pm or 8pm classes and some ended at 11pm.... He had to catch public transport back home as well so I have no idea why Uni/Tafes put such times unless it's just to suit the lecturer/teachers :(.

It's this. I have a family friend that teaches at Swinburne and she had to schedule a class from 6pm-8pm one day because it was the only time she could do with her other work. The students just have to cop it. They're adults and they want to study the course/unit so they have to be flexible enough to attend the classes. It sucks, I know, but I'm sure people would be willing to work whacky hours to have a career they loved. The same has to apply to our tertiary education.

Haha no need, not a huge fan of the course I'm in so I reckon I'll cop the fail, ride out the year and look to change to a different course and hope for some credit for this year's work :P
Anyone have much experience in changing courses? Is it easy? Are they generous with the credits they give you?

Ok, anything with no maths involved, please :P
Linguistics. By far the most interesting thing I've ever studied and I love it to death! Not sure about the job prospects though.

please, my friends do engineering. Their maths is easy, unless your doing aeronautical engineering than I agree with you. Get into Honours PHD level in Ecnometrics and your basically doing a maths degree.
we do Calculus by the way.

Aero and Chem eng are very mathsy. Others *cough*civil*cough* aren't maths at all. Didn't realise Eco was so mathsy but our maths isn't really easy (although I find it pretty straightforward because I'm a nerd that's doing a maths degree as well...)

yeah there are some really interesting degrees, the issue is how they translate to a job.
If you like reading writing and history, Law would be a good fit. Its pretty hard though.I hate writing thats why I dropped out of Law.
I reckon I'd like and I'd be ok at law, its just a matter of getting into it! ::)

its tough to get into at the start, but if your doing well at university shouldnt be too dificult to transfer into. Law I wouldnt say is the most difficult subject but you have to put alot of effort into it. You cant bluff your way through it with intelegence like you can in other courses.

Considering I failed Accounting 100 (terrible lack of effort) I don't think they'll be letting me into law anytime soon :P
I have a unit next semester called Business Law which I somehow got into so it should be interesting to see how much I enjoy that...
That linguistics thing looks sweet LH, but jobs afterwards is the issue ofc :-\

in most cases yes, but there are some good courses in arts that arent avilable in any other degree.
My teacher got sick and went to hospital just after exams so he hasn't marked one of my assessments worth 20% or my exam which is annoying big time. All I'm searching for is a pass so I'm pretty confident but he's finally out of hospital and still way behind on marking which is annoying.
I'd feel more sorry for him if he wasn't such a hard ass, mind you I don't know what was wrong with him.
yeah, I still haven't gotten one of my marks back :(
Don't bag Arts, I am doing it :P. Given, also doing Economics ;). If you love writing, essays, history and stuff, Arts could be a good options although have to do further study beyond basic degree for jobs. Law may suit you for the essay stuff but as Holz said, need to put in alot of effort into it. Since you're doing Bus Law next sem, can see how things go and if you like it.
Quote from: elephants on July 17, 2013, 02:59:26 AM
Anyone have much experience in changing courses? Is it easy? Are they generous with the credits they give you?
Changing within your Uni is alot easier I've heard/seen than changing Unis altogether. Given, all require paperwork but easier to do for internal transfer. I remember a friend changed from Science to Sci/Eng and all the electives he did first year in Science (Psych and Jap) he couldn't get credit points transferred as didn't fit into his new degree :(. Although all of his science subjects he did transferred credit points. So depends on what degree you're changing into, if it's similar then should get majority of the credit points transferred. And to transfer internally, they forget about your ATAR and go off your marks in Uni. Most courses require like a 70-75 average to transfer to another one, with a HD average of like 80+ usually being enough to get into the course you want (besides like BioMed).
I'm thinking of changing to Com/Arts, and since I already do Economics, majority of my subjects should transfer over to the Com degree to possibly already completed an Eco major. If you are planning to change direction completely, probably won't get as many transferred :P.
Gotta love it when your lecturer says results will be out 'shortly' and it's been 2 days and still no results..
Back to college tomorrow. Can't friggin wait!!!
Yep, Uni starts tomorrow.
Lecture from 12-2pm, 4 hour break, lecture from 6-7pm.
So flowerin' keen.
Uni from 8 till 3 :(
Have another week off :D
I hope my social skills don't desert me tomorrow, I think I'm gonna have to make a friend in Philosophy to get me through 4 hour breaks on Mondays for 12 weeks. Far cry from having Mondays off like last semester. Timetabling... Y u do dis? :(

Use those 4 hours to study or prepare for tutes coming up in the week. Having the break on the Monday is great. Friends are overrated.
Saying that I played basketball with my friends in my breaks. If I could send a message to ny younger self I would say follow the advice above.
only 1 start before 10am this time round >:D
my maths tute this time is 10am on a monday, I am far more ok with this than 8am wednesday
Just changed my Philosophy tute from 6-7pm on Monday to 2-3pm on Thursday. 8)
5 hour labs this sem. This is not ok :(
What subject?
IM IN A LECTURE ATM AHAHA
listened for the first 45mins.. now all I hear is pulpotomy, pulpectomy but no idea whats going on LOLOL
yeeeeeah.
9am lecture, 12pm lecture, then a 2hour lecture 2-4 (normally would have a tut afterwards, but it's not running this week).
<3 waking up at 6am

nah i was just pretty tired and zoning off.. Had to actually do a pulpotomy straight after which I had no idea how to do but turned out it was actually really simple :P
So yeah, Philosophy lecture wasn't bad. One of lads I made friends with in my Media class last semester also switched to Philosophy, we're now in the same tute too. Happy dayze. 8)
First 30 seconds of Data Management lecture, the lecturer asks the only person in the front row if she's a Collingwood supporter. She says no, and then he says "It's ok everyone, you can sit in the front row. She's not a Collingwood supporter."
I lol'd.

Unfortunately though, it's data management. He made a couple of jokes, but the course content is just boring.
I was at Uni for like 7 hours today despite only having 1 lect from 10-11 due to tutes not running first week. I don't know why I was there for so long....

Classic!
I have returned to this thread to reveal some good news. I just transferred out on the advanced level unit to the introductory level unit for Communication which means I don't have a class from 4-7pm today. 8) The intro level unit is from 9-12, so basically, I've missed week 1. At least I know I have a friend in that class now... :D
This now means my latest finish is at 3pm. ;D
Had my first tutorial for my Computer Science unit today. It started with an 'interesting' discussion. Long story short, our tutor made it very clear that he wouldn't be having sex with us. Me and a few of my friends were quite disappointed.
"He"...
Is there something we (or maybe just me) don't know :P
Are the ATAR calculators based on raw scores or scaled scores?
Quote from: Master Q on July 30, 2013, 09:48:10 PM

Yeah, it really was an interesting discussion. He asked us what we expected from him during the semester, and eventually people starting suggesting stuff like doges and hoes, and, well, yeah...

Input the raw, they will use the scaling from whichever year you used to produce your ATAR. So yeah, they use scaling.
Unless they changed it.
Only just checked my exam timetable :P
English - October 30th
Further Maths Exam 1 - November 1st
Further Maths Exam 2 - November 4th
Physical Education - November 7th
History Revolutions - November 8th - 3:15 - 5:00 is a b*tch of a time
Global Politics - November 19th
11 days of Global Politics study between after my History exam. AWESOME
None on the same day and only one the day after another 8)

Mine was pretty good. Went to Phillip Island, although the weather wasn't fantastic. We were inside most of the time, but we'd do stuff indoors like every night. Turned the entire house into a blanket fort (had our bed sheets everywhere :P ), so that was fun. From like 11pm until 5am we would play hide and seek as it was pitch black and freaking awesome. Blinds man bluff was good, until my friend walked into the cupboard and managed to remove the sliding door from it's 'hinge' thingy ;D
Oh, and obviously we brought up a ps3 and nintendo64 to play mario party and watch tv shows/movies :D

Blinds man bluff was good, until my friend walked into the cupboard and managed to remove the sliding door from it's 'hinge' thingy ;D
Oh, and obviously we brought up a ps3 and nintendo64 to play mario party and watch tv shows/movies :D
See, that actually sounds like fun. :P

Yep, and then mine got cancelled. ::)

You know it Toga ;) Except I won't even be 18 yet... Flasks will be carried!
Damn Maca, we'll probably be there for the same week. We're heading up on the train because well, I don't really know why, but that's going to take 2 days from Melbourne so will probably arrive on the 22nd.
My whole year 12 class (a grand total of 8) are going, and we're all pretty close - or at least tolerant of each other :P - so it should be a decent time...
or just an excuse to get drunk and be incredibly sexist! Wooo!
Hahaha, people seem to either hate schoolies or love schoolies. Everyone I've talked to has either been like, 'don't bother' or 'best week ever'. Where did you go AFEV/Sid?
Do you know what's better than Schoolies...?
UNI GAMES! Seriously, everyone should do it. Especially this year because it's on the Gold Coast!

Just chilling in the library, like a boss. Tute at 2pm, better be good.
Moved from the 6-7 tute on Monday because I didn't want one so late to the 2-3 tute on Thursday only for it to be cancelled after a week. Now back in a tute on Monday from 5-6. #uniwoes ::) >:( :(

Read that in year 10 and enjoyed it a fair bit. The movie is pretty quality too.
Ohh a movie :D
Hope we watch it.
Nobody go to ACU, they're so shower.
Seriously thinking of transferring to Deakin. I hate ACU so flowering much.
We were told we would have to change our tutorial times for the core unit and when I logged in all the tutorials were full except for the ones I'm not supposed to be in.
flower you ACU, you are shower.
But yeah, 3 hour break. No money, no food, not much to do.

I keep forgetting to bring my headphones. :(
This happened a while ago, but I'll post it now any way.
We were doing the anatomy of the human body, and our teacher was away. Our relief teacher told us we had 2 brains :o one in our head and one in our back :o She was a natural blond :P
True storey
hahahahahaha
she was probably trying to say that your brain and your spinal cord make up your central nervous system :P
interestingly enough, a lot of organisms actually do have the equivalent of multiple brains :P
Just finished reading "The Club". Hopefully the movie comes soon.

Prominent football commentators such as Fred Cook, Lou Richards, Jack Dyer, Bob Davis and reporters Scot Palmer and Ron Carter have parts in the film, as do Collingwood footballers at the time, Peter Daicos and Rene Kink. Collingwood's coach at the time, Tom Hafey features as the assistant coach ;)
Pretty cool names in it.
I apologise in advance to mods or whatever for my language, but I'm really pissed. Anyway, here goes:
I swear, the flowering labs for Intro to Computer Science are flowering stupid. First off, they're 3 flowering hours. Now, in our lectures, we get taught some stuff, and our lecturer is really good, but she can't each us how to code properly in a lecture. In our tutorials, we aim to interpret code, and find out what the flower is actually going on, so once again, not actually coding. NOW, in our labs, we get to code. And you would assume that we would be taught how to code during it, right? No. Every single flowering thing we do in our flowering labs is assessed, which means, or according to our lab teacher anyway, he basically cannot help us at all. So we are expected to do all this flowering shower, with almost no help at all. flower everything.
/end rant.

I considered not going, but then realised it wouldn't solve anything. Plus, I have to go to Uni to get my email fixed by the IT guys at the very least.
Forgot to charge my phone though, it's running on 12% battery and I have to leave in 10 mins. ::) :(

Wow, I've had labs before where you do the work beforehand. They at least also have tutpr's there to help you with the stuff, and give you some pointers even in assessments. Seems like a pretty badly run lab class then if they don't actually do anything besides grade your work, tutors are meant to be there to help you out if you need help :-\. Can try complaining about it in like student evaluations or talk to your lecturer about it (if they are the unit co-ordinator). Cause should be able to get help with it from somewhere.
I've noticed I am most productive on Sundays, cause I know I have stuff due on Monday onwards. Probably need to pick up work ethic as got essays coming shortly :-X.
Can't access the reading I need to have read as part of my homework for tomorrow so there's goes the one thing I had planned to do while on this 3 hour break. Gotta meet someone at 4pm so at least I only have 2 hours to kill. :P
I have successfully procrastinated for three and a half hours. Have three tutes over the next 5 hours and haven't done the readings for any of them. Might be on tonight, might not be. Might have committed suicide, might not have :P

May or may not have just discovered that the e-book for my Philosophy unit is only 877 pages long. :o ::) :(
Took the day off Uni today (decided not to go for my 1 hour tutorial) because if I went I would have been out of the house for about four hours. I figured that I could instead stay home and do my assignment which is due tomorrow, assuming I could get it done in four hours and have the rest of the afternoon and evening to chill the flower out. Apparently the thinking/writing part of my brain took the day off too, still haven't got a single word typed up and it's 3:40pm. ::)

Doesn't have to be a personal preference, just be able to back it up well (look up at some sources). Whichever is the most common point in alot of articles, just base essay off that! And as GoLions said, isn't objective as will change from person to person! 800 words is like nothing for an essay so I would have found that pretty hard to write stuff up on! I'm sure you could go the Religious pathway if you want with their moral systems and all. Or go like individual differences in morals and judgements made. Saying this, assume you've pretty much finished by now :P.

I will be running an Accounting Lecture for VCE students in the school holidays. Just trying to promote this to the greater public, and what better place than on FF :D
For those who want more info, send me a PM and I'll pass on more details. The lecture is part of a company series that also runs lectures for other VCE subjects. If you want, I can also tell you more about those :)
I'm hesitant to release more details on this site since it is a public forum and therefore im not sure what implications there may be for security etc..

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MARKETING? :(
Buy cheap, Sell Dear...explain what a good deal that is to everyone... ;)
I just need an example of product and service concepts of a product available at Woolworths.
Just something that fits these...
The Actual Product - The actual product is the physical good or the delivered service that supplies the desired benefit. The actual product also includes the unique features of the product, such as its appearance or styling, the package and the brand name.
The Augmented Product - The augmented product is the actual product plus other supporting features such as warranty, credit purchase facilities, delivery, installation and after-sales service.

tough to think about an augmented product avilable at the supermarket. im thinking something in the cleaning aisle.
Augmented Product: A core product to which additional products and services may be added to generate multiple revenue streams. For example, an accounting software program that starts with a general ledger to which various modules such as budgeting, inventory control, payroll (as well as training aids such as books, newsletters, seminars, and videos) may be added. See also agile product.

T Dog chucked me a PM and suggested mobiles phones. Woolies sells them and also can top up the phone with credit and stuff as well so I think that works well.

yeah it does work well. you also have all types of attachemtns like extra battery, waterporoof cover, car charger etc...
didnt know they sold phones.
edit: it think i have a better idea more relevant to wollies.
what they have been moving towards is stuff like cake mixture that needs extra ingredients and on the box they have a reciepe and it includes all woolworth products, i think thats a pretty good idea.
like they have adrian zumbo brownie recipe
Hmm yeah, that sounds like it fits the bill too. I haven't seen that myself though.
I think I would be more comfortable going with the phones idea because I know it better.
Thanks for all the help/recommendations though guys, really appreciate it. :)

Nice work Nigey! Although read when I woke up today (12 hours after I feel asleep on chat -_- ) that you still fell short of the 1350 words :P. But you got close enough!
well, here's my vent.
so, at usyd we were given our mid sem break of a week, and a couple weeks before we went on break, we were told there would be a 3 day strike first week back (week 10), essentially giving most students a 2 week midsem.
which was awesome :P
but then, the thursday before week 10 (so like 4/5 days before the strike week), we got sent an email saying that the strike had been cancelled, since conditions had been met.
which is great! more pay for the staff!
but completely flowered me over, since I was sick all of the week and hadn't done any uni work yet, and had 3 assignments due in week 10. Also would have completely screwed over anyone with holidays planned, and anyone who had said they could work.
basically was not a fan. On the plus side, finally got well enough to start my assignments on sunday, and finished them all on time :D

If people could tell me how they feel about climate change, that'd be great.
Do not believe it - Believe it is cyclic and we are entering a warm age. You have to look at it in totality not just some areas. Do your research well and you can sit in the middle.
Here are couple of anti climate change articles for you

There's overwhelmingly strong evidence for climate change being artificially generated through human activities.
I think that if God wants the earth to end by climate change then it will, but I also have the opinion that it is happening, but not as bad as its all said to be.

^ this
it's true that the earth goes through cyclical warming and cooling periods, but it's happening at an unprecedented accelerated rate which is basically flowering everything over.
fortunately, estimates even like a decade ago have proven to be over estimates... but all that means (to use an arbitrary example) is that the great barrier reef will be gone in 60 years, rather than 30.
If there's meant to be climate change going on, then can someone tell me why the hell it's pouring in Adelaide in October! >:(
Another viewpoint
http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/10/how-we-fixed-the-hole-in-the-ozone-layer-3956497/
I've got 6 stakeholder perspectives to choose from and have to pick 3, and then discuss those 3 perspectives in 750 words (so like 250 words each).
The perspectives available to choose from are:
- The IPCC and UNFCCC
- The Australia Government and its Agencies
- Climate Skeptics and the Media
- Economics
- Developing Countries
- A Christian Perspective
I know I'm definitely doing the Climate Skeptics/Media and Developing Countries... tossing up whether to pick the Government perspective or the Christian perspective as the final one.
Not to be disrespectful, but the Christian viewpoint is pretty shallow on climate change.
Government would be more interesting, considering pressure from businesses and lobby groups and such

Yeah, I know. I was just going through the readings and stuff that we had and there's little to nothing on the Christian viewpoint, almost as if it was thrown in there as an afterthought or just for the sake of bringing it up.
I'll have to read into the Government perspective a bit more, haven't really looked too much into it and I don't really care for Government/politics related stuff as well. Although, with all the info here, getting 250 words together shouldn't be overly challenging.
Yeah i guess 250 words doesn't really have a meaningful impact anyway.
Not big into economics Nige? :P

Nah, Eco isn't my thing. I try to avoid it if and when I can. :P
I just realised I can cut the Government perspective down to 200 words since I added a bit of extra stuff in the other part of this essay. ;D
If you were to choose from the Christian Perspective you could easily expand these thoughts out to 250 words.
God created man and placed him on earth to look after his creation.
Christians thus have a responsibility to care for the environment.
They must also by this law protect the environment in which they were placed,
40 words already.
understandbly im all about the economic opinion. with abit of research its easy to do.
the reason why its not going to be solved is simple ecnomics. The environment is a public good so everyone derives the benefit of making sure is is looked after the issue is nobody wants to pay for it as the beneift isnt just recieved from them, so its definately a cant someone else do it mentality.
realistically the only way for it to work is for it to be ecnomically viable, so the cost of renewable energies needs to be comparable to the cost fossil fuels.
I have graphs for this about basically the social cost is much higher than the ecnomic cost, companies are all about the ecnomic cost.
esentially you either have to reduce the ecnomic cost through research into renewable energy or somehow make the social cost be accounted for and thats where carbon tax/ eft comes in.
I'm considering changing one of my perspectives to Eco now thanks to Holz. :P That's 142 plus I already have about 40-ish words to introduce my paragraph on perspectives which is roughly 180 meaning I only have to get another 70 then. :P

If you understand more than half of this (as I just barely managed to do), you are pretty damn clever in my book!
If anyone knows anything about climate scepticism, I'm all ears.

Don't suppose any of these agree with one of the others perspective at all..lol.. :P
Have a 2120 word lab report due at 4pm today, fell asleep last night before I could start. So almost finished it now when I woke up at like 8:30am and started. Pretty sure it's the latest I've ever left an assignment at uni but I like pushing the limits :D.
Latest I have left an assignment was a 2500 word essay that was due at 1pm. Started it at midnight and handed it in by 11.30, which included taking a break to go have breakfast and watch the NFL that was on ONE.
Got an HD ;)

Beastly CF! I'm sure you'd be more than pleased with that :D.
I've left many assignments until midnight the day they were due, usually only takes me a few hours to crack it out. Did this lab report in less than 5 hours (from start to finish including breaks, gaming and random stuff).
Hurry up weekend!
Major test on Monday and three essays due in two weeks time... to start or not to start :P
So glad I'm doing engineering and get to avoid essays. Apart from exams my last assessment is to build a bridge(and get over it).
This is my task:
Quote
Assessment 2: Major Essay
Choose ONE of the following and write an essay on it:
1. Consider one of the ethical theories examined in Part Two of this unit. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the theory you have chosen to discuss? Does the theory, in your view, offer a sound basis for deciding what is morally good and evil and what is morally right and wrong?
2. Take any one of the applied ethical issues discussed in Part Three of the unit. What are the major arguments involved in the issue you have chosen to discuss? Which of these arguments is, in your view, the most convincing and why?
Due date:
Friday 25 October 5pm
Weighting: 40%
Length and/or format: 1600 words
And this is me:

I've had those days, at least still got another 2-3 days to work on it. Just read through your lectures/book for the content to understand theory, may help give you some ideas on what to write!
Worth a heck of a lot :-X.
I understand the content, I just have no idea how to use it answer the question. :(
I reckon I'll just start typing shower and hopefully I get struck by one of those moments where you get an idea or become inspired. :P

That's a good start then but sounds like you're pretty burnt out already for the one tomorrow. I despise morning exams, I am not a morning person as I have been sleeping at like 5am past week or two. You say just flower it, but you'll probably revise a bit ;). Likely sleeping now as I send this :P.
As a little experiment for one of my exams (worth 40%), it's essay based with 2 questions. Going to pretty much wing it on the basic knowledge I have on the subject (1st year Criminology on Thursday) just to see how I go as only need like 2/40 marks to pass the subject haha.

I had my first of three hurdle exams today where I have to pass to pass the subject (lame).
I have one on Friday that I'm sitting on 38/40 for but don't actually know anything atm. So I either pass the exam and basically get a distinction, or I fail the subject.
Similarly, I have one next Tuesday that I think I'm in the 80s for but also know nothing. I hate that my exams this semester are irrelevant from the internal assessments :(

Still up HP. Tomorrow is only a practical exam where I have to demonstrate physio techniques, so not the hardest really.
Going in to the exams I am currently sitting on 14.6/20 for the one I sat today, 15/20 for another, 14.5/20 for another, and 36.4/40 for the last.
Should be fine haha

Similarly, I have one next Tuesday that I think I'm in the 80s for but also know nothing. I hate that my exams this semester are irrelevant from the internal assessments :(
Wait, so you guys have exams that you don't need like, 50% to pass the unit? Last semester I needed 50% on all my exams, and this semester I need 50% on 2, and 40% on the other 2. flowering bullshower.
All of my engineering exams I have to pass. My science ones are about half half whether or not there is a hurdle. Arts is good because there's never a hurdle and the exam is usually worth 30% so you walk in already sitting on 60something :D
Why was school easier for cave people?
Why? .... Because there was no history to study... :o

How'd you go on the first one CF? First of your gauntlet :-X.
Not bad thanks, was surprisingly happy with it. Next one is 9.50 tomorrow morning. I should probably be studying, but I've got to the point where I just think "flower it" ::)
That's a good start then but sounds like you're pretty burnt out already for the one tomorrow. I despise morning exams, I am not a morning person as I have been sleeping at like 5am past week or two. You say just flower it, but you'll probably revise a bit ;). Likely sleeping now as I send this :P.
As a little experiment for one of my exams (worth 40%), it's essay based with 2 questions. Going to pretty much wing it on the basic knowledge I have on the subject (1st year Criminology on Thursday) just to see how I go as only need like 2/40 marks to pass the subject haha. I like living dangerously >:D.
That awkward moment when you get 1/40...

*changes to arts*
#Artslyf
Arts ftw ;D
Yep, Arts is good like that :P. My Crim isn't a hurdle and neither is my Psych, although I always try to get over 50% anyway. One of my eco subjects isn't a hurdle so basically only one subject for me is (Mainly because the exam is worth 80%).
I know the feeling Huggy, barely studied for any of my subs as usually cram a day or two out, know how stressful it is so good luck there. Hopefully you're able to get through them with the passes!

out of the 3 exams I've done so far, I may have failed one, (chem but who needs chem anyway :P), the others I managed to wing it with 4 hours sleep and 1 day worth of study :P

Yeah, good point. That advice would be better coming from someone that's had Dane as a student. Maybe if there was someone out there who's had Dane as a student in the same class for the last two semesters, they could advise him on not winging it. Oh well ;)

Two college roommates are about to go to bed. The guy in the top bunk has his girlfriend sleeping over. To try and keep quiet, they devise a code. His girlfriend will say "tomato" if she wants him to go slower and "lettuce" for him to go faster. As they begin to have sex, the girl starts to moan, "Lettuce, lettuce, tomato, tomato!" The roommate on the bottom bunk wakes up the next morning and says, "Stop making sandwiches at night. You got mayonnaise in my eye!"

I studied Sport Science at uni for two and a half years, quit because I didn't want to become a Phys Ed teacher, picked up a casual job working at Subway then randomly applied for and got a journalism cadetship, completed that and now have spent a year and a half as a digital journalist.
If you'd asked me what I wanted to do the week before I started the cadetship I never in a million years would have said journalist.

Don't worry ele I have been out of uni 2 years and still have no clue what I want to do.
After 11 days of studying between my second last exam and my last exam tomorrow, it's fair to say I no longer give a single flower about Global Politics, all I want to do is finish.

So in one of my tutorials, there was a question with a function that assigned the number 16 to one variable, and the string "na" to another variable.
Then it had another function which multiplied those variables together (so 16* "na")
So the answer would be that "na" is printed 16 times, and in the solutions they said
"You also have to shout BATMAN after it's done"
I am so flowering done with all the jokes made in my IT course.

Welp, potentially failed. I guessed a lot and the stuff I didn't guess is very easy to make mistakes in so I can't even be sure about that. Gonna spend the next couple of weeks praying for that pass.

Today an exam supervisor was leading us to our chairs and he pops out with "Wow, its been years since I have had 8 young men chasing after me!"
Was a classic :P
I still remember during the GAT one year (2011 or 2012, don't remember) when one of the invigilators walked pass a whole lot of us, farted, walked on like nothing ever happened but then casually went to the window to open it. ::) :P
Labs are so much fun when you finish 90% of the work in 15 mins, and have to wait an hour and a bit until the demonstrator explains the one bit you don't get.
labs are even more fun when you finish it in half an hour, but the demo won't sign off everyone's name until they've explained why everything happened the way it did at the end, so you have to wait 3.5 hours for the morons in your cohort to finish.

Coming here for a little bit of a brag... (x-post from Coaches board)
I got an email early this afternoon saying that I won the Third Year Linguistics Prize at Monash. That means that I was the best (grades-wise, I assume) linguistics student in third year this year.
Pretty damn pumped about that one :D
Got my results back. Passed all my subjects from what I understand. :D :P

I saw Huggy, congratz! I'm sure you'd hold that over some others since you don't even do Arts :P.
Passed all my subjects, did worse in one than expected and better in another than expected, so evened out. Just annoyed I got two 79s so means my GPA went down instead of going up had I paid more attention to anything in those subjects >:(.
I did my anatomy exams, which were my first exams on like the 12th/13th of november, the first one was all multis + 1 short essay, the second one all one word answers (in identifying muscles etc. on a cadaver).
I still haven't gotten my results back... and I've gotten my marks back for all my other exams, including one which was like 2 weeks later and was all long response.
We don't even have a particularly large cohort

Did alright as well. Got an HD, 2 Ds, and a P. Happy with that, was aiming for a Pass in Computer Science and got it, glad I won't have to repeat it.
Got another exam for my summer unit on Monday, hence why I haven't been on FF much lately. Shouldn't be too bad, over half of it is based on the assignments anyway.

Passed all my subjects, did worse in one than expected and better in another than expected, so evened out. Just annoyed I got two 79s so means my GPA went down instead of going up had I paid more attention to anything in those subjects >:(.
Cheers guys!
And HP, I feel ya! those GPA killers are the worst. Throughout my linguistics diploma (which is done now :(), I've had 7 HDs and a 78. That 78, although not bad, cost me a perfect GPA :(
Had my best year of results in general this year! :D Last semester was my best ever and this semester my second best. Had 7 HDs for the year and one D (a bloody 78 in an engineering subject... I swear 78s ruin everything)
Congrats to everyone that did well :D
well, my anatomy mark still isn't out which is reallllly frustrating :P
Yeah they do Huggy, especially since you've been killing it :o :o. Spoils the near perfect year you had!
I kinda breezed through last year (first year) so my GPA was always going to take a hit haha. Need to try and focus more next 2 years to get it to maybe 3.5 if lucky :P.
Damn Zippy, must be slack unit since you said before not too many people even do it :P.
Yeah, just got the mark back... 58 haha, worst mark since my semester of uni when I had glandular and broke my ankle :P
although, learning 48 bones, 150 bone features, 30 ligaments and 103 muscles, their functions, where all they are, how to identify them and how they differ from humans and apes in 2 days is a solid effort.
#bushfiresreallyfloweredmeoverforstuvac
still averaged 71 for the year though, so happy enough.
Haha, HP, my second year was what permanently destroyed my GPA and WAM... If it weren't for that year, I'd be averaging a touch over 80 with a solid GPA. I guess that's what happens when you try to do third year physics in second year without having done the maths prerequisites and then skipping class to drink. Was a fun year of partying though ;)

A year well spent Huggy ;).
And damn Zippy :o :o :o. Guess considering you did it in 2 days, a pass is more than enough ;). So much to learn... I've done an entire course in a day before, then BS'd essays and stuff for the exam... Probably why I got 79 for that one ::).

Whilst I guess a lot of Ph D's are useful, my friend did his on the sex life of the stalk eyed fly.
He monitored the number of sex acts each fly did and bred the randy ones to get ... Ummmm Paris Hilton or Kim whatshername types.
Pervert! ::)
Congratulations to all those who got into their desired course today. 8)

Dear Professor,
My grade in ____ should be raised from _____ to ____ because:
1. There must be a mistake somewhere.
2. I was not well at the time of the examination.
3. My mind always goes blank during an examination.
4. This mark ruined my prospect of getting a scholarship.
5. This is the only course in which I received a poor grade
6. This mark grieved my mother (or Father). whose pride I am.
7. Conditions in the room were not conductive to concentration.
8. The examination was unfair and unfairly distributed over the subject
9. I have to work after school and nights; therefore I should be given a break.
10. I am married; therefore, I should be given a break.
11. I would have done much better if I had taken the examination give to one of the other sections.
12. Several people around me copied from my paper during the examination yet they received higher marks than I did. Surely this is not fair.
13. The reason I did not do better is because I am very honest. I do no wish to say anything against any other members of the class.
14. I know many of the class members who do not work as hard as I do an who got a better grade. I am recognized among my classmates as a good student - you just ask any one of them.
15. The question were ambiguous, and therefore, my answers should be graded according to the reasonable interpretations that I made of your questions.
16. Many of the questions could not be answered with straight facts; they were matters of opinion. I do not believe I should be penalize just because my opinions differ from those of the instructor.
17. I have studied this subject from the broad philosophical viewpoint and therefore, I was unable to answer your technical-based question
18. I am philosophically oriented to the realm of ideas; I respond to the sweep and scope of great intellects. My work is beyond the interest in petty details and parrot-like memorizing of those who are merely students
19. At the time of the exam, I was suffering from a severe case of cognitive dissonance and was incapable of coping with the stress of the hour.
20. It is not a higher mark I seek; I care nothing about marks; I think marks are wicked and I disapprove of them. However, this pernicious system of which I am a victim requires marks for achieving success and therefore, I seek a higher mark.
Thank you,

Phew, thanks lads... needed that :o
Go talk to the lecturer about it. You'd be surprised how responsive some people are. I once asked about some stuff that I thought was marked harshly in a test and my lecturer said that, although he still thinks the marks should've been taken off, he'll give me a bonus mark if I can show that I really did understand the material by trying to explain it better to him there and then. I had a crack and got a bonus mark.
No, I'm not saying that your situation will be at all similar, but it never hurts to ask.

Already done and didn't work. I think the way I answered the questions shows I clearly fully understood the concepts. Here is an example:
Q: At the St. Kilda Mangrove forest boardwalk, there are a couple of 'isolated' Mangroves which can be seen (basically this means they are a few metres away from the 'forest'). Explain why. (2 marks)
My answer: These isolated mangroves are evidence of local relative sea level rise which has occurred not necessarily because of the water level, but also because of the subsidence of the land from isostatic re-adjustment. Juvenile Mangroves
would struggle to grow in the increased depth as they would be completely submerged and thus existing adult plants were left 'isolated'.
My mark for this answer was 0.5/2.... Why? because I should have said that it was
impossible for juvenile mangorves to grow there rather than they would
struggle to grow there. Basically if I swapped the words 'would struggle' with 'can not' I get 2/2. For me, I think my answer deserves 1.5 or 2 out of 2.
I would think that something like:
These mangroves are isolated due to local sea level rise. Is worth 0.5-1 marks.
These mangroves are isolated due to juveniles not being able to grow under the submerged water. Is worth 0.5-1 marks
These mangroves are here because their propagules floated here from the tidal action and rooted in the mud (completely wrong) is worth 0 marks.
I asked him if he thought he was being harsh there and he just replied with that he likes to mark things the old fashioned way. Like seriously, I clearly know what the flower was happening. It isn't as though I had no flowering idea and was making shower up. This wasn't the only spot this type of thing applied, it happened throughout the whole thing. My final mark was 48.5/80 and it is worth 30% of my grade for the course :(
Did you email him or speak to him in person? Again, I can't say it will make a difference but there's no harm in trying.
Also, is he the unit coordinator and chief examiner as well? If not, contact one of them.
Otherwise, I can't offer anything else other than my condolences :(

Spoke to him in person as we had to go into his office to view them and get our marks. He is the course co-ordinator. I was considering searching for help higher up but it probably isn't worth it. I might bring light to it in the student course evaluations though (making sure he has already marked my final field report first haha) and see if anything comes out of it that way but by then it may be too late. Oh well, Just gotta aim for an overall D now :-\

Super excited for Chvrches and Haim, two of my favourite bands this past year! Also really looking forward to Vance Joy, Lorde, and Jezabels. A bit upset that I can't see Cloud Control or Daughter because they clash with some of the afformentioned bands.
So apparently my attempt to re-enrol back in November was never confirmed. :-X
It's well past the re-enrolment date and timetabling is on Wednesday. ::)

ok so I don't know if it's been said already but, and I'm sure people agree, I'm pissed that I'm paying a showerload of money that I don't have so a lecturer can read directly off a Powerpoint 2 hours a week...fml

Eh, I know a lot of my lecturers last year made all their powerpoints themselves, with very few references to text books (think I only had 2 text books last year). Also, they're not just there for giving lectures. I asked mine quite a few questions every time I didn't understand something and they helped a lot, especially when it came to assignments.
Although I do agree education is too expensive :P

Depends on the subject, certainly see where you're coming from Jobe, tend to not bother if all the lecturer does is read off a screen. I'm use to getting books and pretty much majority of the examinable stuff coming from either Tutorials (one lab we had was completely useless for a subject) and the textbooks. I have no idea how it amounts to thousands of dollars a year :(.

every subject I've had is a 2 hour lecture which the lecturer reads from a powerpoint, and then the tutorial is going over the lecture. i'v only had one subject which required text books and then we only had to read a chapter and go over it in the lecture :/

Yeah it's pretty good so far, only had 1 bad unit last year called Algorithmic Problem Solving or something and the lecturer was an absolute douche who didn't know what the flower was going on. So far my course has basically been a bit of math, programming, and problem solving.

Nice Nigey 8). I'm expecting Wednesday and Friday off, love one day off mid week :). Even better than I have no 8am or 9am starts :D.
Ouch Brummy, know a few people who have 20+ hours a week, usually those with long labs. I'm gonna be getting like 11-13 hour weeks both semesters since my course isn't too hour intensive :P.
I have 2-3 hour labs for all my units next semester, so looking at around 23 hours a week IIRC. Had 21 hours a week in 2nd semester last year which wasn't fun at all.

yeah I have one that starts at 9am and goes for 6 hours...wat.
Planning to get up nice and early, wait for Allocate to open and be one of the first in tomorrow to sort out my timetable.
If all goes to plan:
Monday - Communication workshop from 9am-12pm
Tuesday - Learning in the Community lecture from 10am-12pm, HRM lecture from 12pm-2pm, HRM tute from 2pm-3pm.
Wednesday - Drama lecture 3pm-5pm, Drama tute 5pm-6pm
I'd be pretty happy with that. :D
Got up early to get in.
The system must have been getting a stack of hits and couldn't get in for the first few minutes which means I missed out on getting in to the 9am Comm class.
Instead, I'm in the Thursday one at 9am. Not too fussed though, still get the 4 day weekend from Friday through to Monday. ;D

I go to Vic Uni studying sports management, the 2 hour commute kills me big time.
not being a creep but where do you commute from? just live around that far from Melb.
Studying for my GRE.
Been partially accepted into the course and given 100 credit points (200 point degree) and a scholarship but it all relies on getting a certain mark in my GRE.
Studying pointless geometry and basically any maths not needed in my course. Still it's easy to learn just pointless.
The English section though.
Which of these are a synonym for garrulous?
Solictious Munificent Irresolute Laconic Fastidious etc..
Are you kidding me.

It's worth finding a lift when the difference is so much (I have the same driving to PT time difference as you and driving is SOOOO much better - maybe we live near each other :o). But it's up to you what you want to do.

What does everyone study?
I hate saying what I'm studying because it normally is followed by a laugh or the question 'and what job do you want to get from that?' to which I have absolutely no reply. You'd probably be able to guess my degree pretty easily :P

Medicine/Law double degree! The "what job" part gave it away because it'd be so tough to choose between the two.
Arts?

Nice man, any major in mind for the science? I'm doing mining eng / science double at uni of Adelaide and am doing geology for the science
Don't be ashamed Chumps, I do Arts as well :P. I'm also majoring in Psychology to play a bit into the stereotype.
No idea what I'm doing after uni though.
I've kinda gone off the whole idea of becoming a teacher...
Gonna finish Arts and see where I am.
Yeah I have no idea either. I'll see what happens I guess.
people's O week's sound so good, La Trobe Bendigo's was free Tacos and face painting...and that nob 360 performing I think.
the look on first years faces is priceless haha I know mine was :/
I'm keen for O week. I've heard it's pretty good at residential colleges :)
O Week was boring as flower.
I left halfway through the Monday and didn't return.
If you're a party animal, O-Week (at Monash Clayton, at least) is awesome!

I have to work a lot this year (still doing vac work up until week 1 finishes) but I'll probably drink at least one of the days (likely Thursday). I recommend the MSS and MAMEC tents for alcohol goodness.

Yeah have already singed up for one camp really looking forward to it :). I have my driving test next week and I've got a mate who's got his already who does some of the same classes, could car pull with him. What's the parking costs like though?

Parking is atrociously expensive but it's free if you carpool! You can register for carpooling at the start of the year and then park for free in the carpooling areas!

Yeah it's pretty expensive but I prefer driving to public transport. My blue permit was around $370 for the year. As Huggy said, it's free if you carpool, so if you have a mate who has essentially the same start/end times as you, should do that.

Yeah ok cheers guys. Once the timetable comes out I will have a chat to a few blokes about doing that. I don't mind taking public transport at all but I get the feeling eventually doing 15 min walk 15 min train and 25 min bus trip twice a day could get annoying eventually :P

last year he did hardly any work and complained about his marks. He was telling me about how his lecturer was saying how good his essay was and how he was getting a huge mark for it, and then the lecturer gave him 45% hahahahahaha Beech raged
That is typical Beech behavior right there. ::)

So basically... Windi, KCN and jobe are mates (I think) and all know this Beech guy. BS (BoredSaint) goes to LaTrobe in Bendigo and is doing dentistry and so they wanted to know if the two of them knew each other since (I think) their mate Beech is doing the same. This has basically turned into the 'poke fun at Beech thread' for now. :P ???
Should get Beech on fanfooty.
I have no idea who Mathew Beech is loll

I don't think hes doing Dentistry haha.. Cause I know most of the year below me and he isnt mutual friends with any of them :P unless hes really anti-social towards them..
my 1 mutual friend did oral health which is similar to dentistry but you don't become a dentist but rather a oral hygienist/therapist
Yeah I'm pretty sure hes doing oral health Jobe and Windi. For starters you actually have to do well in year 12 to do dentistry.
he always lies so it might be oral health, there isn't much of a difference is there?
all I know BoredSaint is that it is going to be flowering hot when we go back

Any chance you or HP are at uni this week? I'm doing vac stuff so I'm around. That goes for anyone else at Monash as well!
I just got that 7 day trial membership, so coming in tomorrow with friends. Probably again once or twice more this week.

This lecture is boring as flower... Tuesdays will kill me.
Got my timetable, saw I had Wednesdays off, celebrated. Then realised I hadn't been allocated a class for one of my labs, and the only place to put it was 9AM ON WEDNESDAY >:(
Still reasonably happy though, 17-18 hours a week, with basically nothing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Tuesdays are gonna suck though...

Not missing out on too much. There are always some hyperactive people but then everything sorta seems more crowded and less freebies around. Although still got beer and stuff all over the place with MSA and Science club offering it ;).
May also be worse since nothing is new anymore after two years :P.

Getting beer has never been a problem for me because I'm friends with the Activities kids, the MSS committee, and MAMEC so I can just walk into the tent (no waiting in line) and grab a beer. Polish too if they're still serving!

I'm led to believe one has a boyfriend. :P
#stillhope
Lucky there was/is two ;).
O-week this year isn't as good as the previous two I've been to Huggy :(.
I've been doing vac work and other meeting stuff the whole time so I've been to a single hour of yesterday. I don't think I'll get a chance tomorrow either which really sucks :( :( :(
Disappointing to hear that it's worse this year though!
Not missing out on too much. There are always some hyperactive people but then everything sorta seems more crowded and less freebies around. Although still got beer and stuff all over the place with MSA and Science club offering it ;).
May also be worse since nothing is new anymore after two years :P.
Getting beer has never been a problem for me because I'm friends with the Activities kids, the MSS committee, and MAMEC so I can just walk into the tent (no waiting in line) and grab a beer. Polish too if they're still serving!
can you grab me on as well tomorrow? :P

Although I have a mate who was best friends with this chick for like 10 years then boom one day they start hooking up and we're all like "whaaa..?". Good times haha
really depends how attractive you are.
If you're good looking, move straight in. If you're more average/ not so goodlooking, go for the friendzone and hope your personality wins them over :P
So I take it you go for the personality approach zip?

THE NAKED MAN!
There was an ACU Confession posted this morning from a chick in my Comm class.
There are only three guys in my class. A gay guy, the dude she confessed her love for, and me.
She called him "really hot guy studying BA". The gay guy isn't doing a BA. So that left me and the other dude. And it's pretty obvious that I don't fit that haha.
Law suit pending?
I commented with "I don't know how to feel about this"

Maybe I should just turn up to those classes, listen intently during the roll call or have a good look when it's passed around (idk how Monash does it) and find out that way. :P

Don't have a roll yet and I don't think I'm meant to release a list of student names... could get me into trouble.
Haha, I know you can't.
Maybe I should just turn up to those classes, listen intently during the roll call or have a good look when it's passed around (idk how Monash does it) and find out that way. :P
Pretty sure tutes aren't compulsory (I should check that) so we don't even have a roll call. Feel free to rock up though.

Yeah, let's do some MATH! Everyone form a y=sin(x) (I say this because it will make use of the available space much more efficiently than a straight line)

Out of curiosity, which maths units do you teach/tute for? I did MAT1830 last year, and doing MAT2003 in 2nd semester this year.

Yeah the comp science ones are all I'm able to do really. Software Engineering is very specific on what units you can and can't do. I don't have any electives this year (only 1 last year), and I think I have 1 next year as well. 4th year has a few though. I'd like to do more math units as I'm actually good at it, as opposed to programming bullshower :P

My mentees are all doing ENG1091 at the moment I believe...be nice to them!
Just give me a time and a place Huggy ;)

Oh and yeah... there were required readings for this week's Drama class, I've done last week's but mostly forgotten the content, and haven't done this week's as it wasn't available as an e-resource.

hey guys, for my Research Project in Year 12 this year I am investigating the topic of One-Punch Violences (king-hits, coward punches, etc) and whether the introduction of minimum legislation in South Australia would decrease such offences. Sorry to be a pest but if you could please fill this survey out that would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance :)

NEW LINK!!!
If you've already filled out this survey then I sincerely apologise but if you would please be so kind in just filling it out again I would sincerely appreciate it. Sorry to be such a nuisance; its just that you're only allowed 100 responses (as I only just discovered) unless you
pay for a better package, hence I've made a new survey but the questions remain exactly the same. All viewpoints are welcome :)

I've started many assignments the day they were due :P. Think latest I started an assignment was like 8am when it was due at like 5pm that day. I've done many the day they were due and averaging like Distinctions on them, so think my brain will keep procrastinating until then....
My best was in high school, tried to do seven assignments in a single night. I think I got through five, fell asleep at 6am, woke up at 7am and went to school. Didn't do that again.

I've been relying on it for 7 odd years now haha, I hope it's right!

They had taken it down by then. Plus, I was stuck in the middle of the row and had no way of escaping.

That, and finding a flowering park at uni.

Trick is to pick a decent group where nobody's a flowering moron, everyone pulls their weight and preferably has a couple of hot chicks.

We were allocated groups for Drama, just organised a date to work shower out with my two fellow group members today after class. One girl, one guy. Just added them on Facebook so we can work stuff out for tomorrow (the day we've decided to try and get part of the assignment done).

Had my first patient today! I think it went quite well :)
Hey guys, doing a series of blogs for my Communication class as part of my assignment(s). I've chosen the topic/idea of Throwback Thursday (which I'm sure most, if not all of you will be familiar with). Got to do nine weeks worth of this so I decided that I'll do a song/artist/album, tv show/movie and photo/video and repeat every three weeks.
Here's Week 1.
Quote from: NigeyS on March 20, 2014, 04:41:59 PM
I actually did the first one today in class, here it is.
(http://agitf.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/throwback-thursday.jpg)
Everybody loves a classic. Yeah, don't deny it, because I know you do. Everybody's got a favourite something or other from days... hell, even years gone past. In today's day and age, we know this very day - Thursday, as none other than #throwbackthursday, it's quite the phenomenon. People bring up all kinds of things on this special day that occurs weekly for those that treat it like religion. I mean, I know I do. It could be a song from 19-tickety-two or a picture of young you rocking 'junners' and a skivvy at age 3. The possibilities, for some, are endless.
For me, I've picked a song that particularly England and Canada loved in 1979. British new wave rockers XTC had a hit with a song that features the first name of yours truly in its title. 'Making Plans for Nigel' was one of their biggest and best hits. This catchy track has since become a favourite of mine since I was introduced to it, not only because it has my name in title, not just because the genre is my favourite, but because the catchy tune is an earworm that I personally don't mind dealing with. Here it is below for everybody to sing a long!
Making Plans For Nigel - XTC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXNhL4J_S00)
Yep, that's it. :) I have embedded the video on the actual blog.
Feedback would be great (on here, from you guys). 8)

I've got an essay to do for Drama due this coming Monday (haven't started yet lel) where I'm gonna have to use journals and shower for referencing and whatnot. flower that. I'll just bullshower my way through the whole thing and say I didn't need references. :P
I pumped out 3000 words + an executive summary + showerload of referencing in 5 hours yesterday. Had 9 minutes to spare before deadline #youcandoit #believe
I still only somewhat understand the question. Might seek some clarification tomorrow.
Got the result of my first assignment for the year back, got 65%. Pretty happy with that considering it was a drama performance and I was crook for four days prior and still not feeling 100% on the day. :)

Referencing is easy. Just do it as you go use each one rather than waiting to the end and taking ages writing them all out. If you submit a paper without references you're not going to do very well.

Thanks Captain. :P
I probably referenced (or tried to reference) two assignments last year, pretty sure I didn't do it right on either. I just submitted the rest without it and scraped through with passes. :-X
My mate linked me a website that once that helped do the referencing for you, might have to ask him for it again.
Just don't get me started on using journals though, hate those things with a passion.

Not sure if they have them at you uni, but at usyd they have library classes that will teach you have to reference correctly in whatever format they are asking for, which is generally Harvard, but if doing psych would be APA. Those classes also teach you how to effectively find correct books/journals etc. I would recommend attending one if you are struggling with how to reference.
Additionally there is a program called endnote which can do your references for you. We can download it for free at usyd and I reckon at most big uni's you can.
We had one in class last year during one of my first semester tutes.
This class was at 5pm though and I'd been at Uni from 8:30am that day.
I've read the Student Handbook/Guide thingo which has a bit and I've Googled it.
I think that the fact that I've had this preconceived idea that referencing is one of the most horrible and annoying things in the world doesn't help though. :P

isn't there an app that does it for you? or was that false hope :(
Doing an essay (yes, I've started ;D) that's 1500 words.
Trying to break it down as best as I can.
Gotta compare, contrast and evaluate two things.
Would it be best to break it down in to say three paragraphs? One for comparing, one for contrasting and one for evaluating?
Used to actually be decent at essays, but I'm struggling atm. :(
Got 150 words of an intro done (probably need to add about 50 words more of stuff).
Usually use 1 paragraph per idea, so can have 3 main sections like you said, but may have like 2-3 mini paragraphs within them to cover the points. The breakdown seems spot on though!
I can usually crack out an essay in a night if I tried and have resources, just have to get use to writing them and know the formatting and have a flow to the piece. Once you get the flow down as well as covering the main points and essay question, you'll be fine :).
I've got a 10 minute oral to write up before Thursday (as due Thursday), then a 2000 word essay (worth 40% of my mark) due the following Tuesday which should be easy enough once I start it. I just need to find resources and read through them, that's the time consuming bit. Easy bit is writing it all up and bsing the oral :P.
Gonna try to dress formal (or suit up if I can find a blazer) on Thursday for the oral since for an Economics subject :P.
I found if you do 50% of your assignment quickly and early on(better said then done) it's all downhill from then and it's soooo much easier
Gonna try and bullshower my full essay today so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. :P

This isn't a bad tactic but I find the adrenalin of having one hour to do it before the deadline is quite useful :P
Pumped out 200 words in about 30 minutes.
Took an extended break, but about to get into it.
Getting stuck into the next half of the first paragraph.
Hoping to get the bulk of this done before lunch in two hours.

I found if you do 50% of your assignment quickly and early on(better said then done) it's all downhill from then and it's soooo much easier
This isn't a bad tactic but I find the adrenalin of having one hour to do it before the deadline is quite useful :P
I procrastinate so much, the other day I found myself looking a my shadow on the wall beside me for 10 minutes :/

Having group presentations. Everyone getting grilled with questions afterwards (our group included). Whole thing is just a massive struggle!
It's Week 7. Got a presentation in Week 9.
Haven't talked to the chick I'm doing it with since Week 1 and haven't seen her since Week 3.
Not at Uni today, knowing my luck she's probably present. ::)
Will probably either email her or add her on Facebook.

Well played Moose, well played.
But yeah, I never know how to play this... because I like to think that currently, I'm happily single. Although, when I say that, people either think I'm gay, lying to myself or just scared.
It's none of those. I just don't see the big deal in 'getting in' or having a girlfriend. 9/10 of my mates who have or have had girlfriends are miserable and always complaining, as much if not more, than their girlfriends.

Haha, I'd have to somehow get in contact with him overnight and/or tomorrow. Could do though.
Any other takers? :P
I can get to both pretty easy.
One's literally just off the Pake line and the other can be accessed by several buses from Oakleigh station.
Monash is very accessible from Huntingdale, have the 601 which is basically just express between Campus and the station!
I don't mind if you're up for the 2 hour gap :P.

Got an essay due on Tuesday 5pm, worth 40% of my mark and I shall try to crack it out today (with a break for the bombers scheduled of course :D). Found all my references last night before I slept, now reading through them, need like 15ish to help my essay be potentially HD standard :P. Should be able to write it all out in like 2-3 hours tonight after midnight cause everybody sleeping so nobody to disturb me :).

Good job nigey! Now we have greater expectations of you :o.
Even with my mind all over the place, still managed to crack out a 2k essay night before/morning of the day it's due :P. Not the greatest experience but so use to it, so know I can do it and still get some sleep if I can be bothered :P. Got a headache now from listening to music for almost 5-6 hours constantly haha.
I've gotta create a social media marketing campaign for Communication. Not sure what to do it on.. anybody have suggestions?
I was thinking along the idea of 'what grinds your gears?'
But idk, I feel like I could do something better.
The final thing has to be done as either an audio piece, a video or something else (can't remember the third option :P).
Saw this the other day, you could do something similar...

Soooo, 2000 word essay due last Thursday that I kind of may have forgot about and am looking at a loss of 30-40% depending when I get it in. So basically even if I smash it I'll only scrape a pass. Umm flower.

what subject's it for?
I don't know what faculty your in/ how they run it at your uni, but at usyd arts (where most eshays are :P ) is only like 2% a day, not including weekends/ public holidays, and I *think* it's a scaled mark (so if you would have gotten 70, you lose like 0.7% on your first day etc.) :P
That being said, science and eng are 10% flat a day, including weekends/ public holidays :(
Sometimes the initial day late loss is like 5-10% then like 2% every day after that, so guess it'll depend on Uni and faculty!
But damn El, that'd be sucky as forgetting about it until it's too late :(.
Okay, I replied to Zip last night but its not showing up haha
Basically yeah its 10 per day but I'm trying to lessen the penalty somewhat by claiming the dropbox was buggered. Which is actually the truth. I submitted it on Monday before I went away but it didn't go in and only got back on Friday night after the Thursday submission date. I added heaps of shower last night to beef up the essay though so yeah haha
I'm at QUT in Queensland and if it's late it gets a 0% unless you have special exemption!!
My mate is getting to meet Will and Kate today. Lucky flowerer.
Lucky?
idk, are they worth seeing? I suppose they are popular enough for me to say he's lucky. :P

Does anyone here go to La Trobe Bundoora campus?
No, but do tell.
Well, I have a mate who goes there. And very recently a porno was made there in one of the libraries (or the library, dunno how many they have) and he just gave me the link as well. Needless to say I'm gonna be a bit busy for the next 17 minutes and 8 seconds. Studying of course.
:o
And it's not some amateur cam shower either, legit HD and everything.

thanks for your responses guys. I have got all the responses I need now so if you haven't done it then don't worry about it. Cheers for your help 8)
I have to say once again that group projects are the worst thing about uni
Had a really cool guest speaker come in to talk to my COMM219 (Communication) class today.
Her name is Jordana Borensztajn. She's a corporate speaker, social media trainer and social media comedian.
She was probably one of the best guest speakers and gave one of the best presentations I have ever seen, I really enjoyed it.
Check her stuff out on Youtube and check out her social media accounts.

Never liked Bio, so never did it in High School and avoided Science in Uni :P. So much to remember for it and so confusing....

I can't believe it is week 8 and out of my 4 subjects, I know my mark for ONE piece of assessment so far.
Lecturers/Tutors/Teachers that don't even remotely explain an assignment and expect you to know and understand it with them barely even making mention of it until a week or two if being due.

And also when you're just chasing a simple one word answer to a question so you hit up your lecturer via email only for them to come ask you in person... NO MATE, I LIVE AND HOUR AND A HALF FROM UNI.

Kind of the reverse happened with me.
I sent an email because I didn't want to go in. So I sat here at home, wrote a pretty lengthy email, explaining the situation and so on and so forth. It ended up being like roughly three 6-line paragraphs or thereabouts. I expected a reply detailing how things would pan out, but all I got was literally a one word question in reply...
I replied with a follow up email, again with a bit of detail because the situation was still unresolved and I was too busy with other things to go in and explain face-to-face. That email was at start of Good Friday week, still haven't had a reply. Sent another one after the Easter break and that has been replied either...
Also, some may know/remember I was doing a series of blogs. We're allowed to change topics, so I'm thinking of doing that... but I've got no idea what to do for my remaining 4...
Easiest would be something your passionate about. Broader topics (which are a good thing) would be music, movies/tv, sport (footy!), games, and food. All should be relatively easy to find stuff about and you can just find what you love in one of those topics and write about it. I've written about footy and basketball before and found it easy because I was so passionate about the topics already. Music I'm finding a bit harder because I'm trying to focus on new music and it's usually not something I'm already in love with. Hope that was somewhat helpful.
Cheers Huggy!
I've had a few ideas, I guess I'm a bit thrown since some of the people in my class have done similar things.
Ones being done are like top 3s (films, tv shows etc), a daily ramble, etc.
I'm thinking of going with things that grind my (or others) gears.

ok everyone big news!
on the LTU (LA TROBE UNIVERSITY) CONFESSIONS PAGE ON FB I READ THAT THE FAMOUS PORNO FILMED IN THE LIBRARY IS APPARENTLY TITLED "Angela White X Steven"
more "research" required ;)
Mate, I have the video hahahaha
I also have the torrent link if you want :P
cheers man!
If you actually want the link then PM me or something (same with everyone else. Perverts)
I am not a pervert. This is for science
Everything is for science. 8)
I'm not a pervert because it happened at the uni I go to and I want to see where it was!
Okay, gotta do a 1500 word essay (in short report format - whatever that means) by Monday on how Qantas has undergone major organisational change and relate it to human resource development (HRD).
Won't be home half of tomorrow and have an appointment at 2pm on Monday when this is due at 4pm meaning I'll have to hand it in on Monday morning.
Oh, and did I mention the lecturer didn't even explain what we had to do and only spoke of it last week when he said "just a reminder that assessment 2 is due on the 12th."
I have to write a 2000 word assignment for Power (haven't started writing yet) due Monday, a short story to be workshopped has to be online by Sunday night and a 1000 word essay due on Thursday... and I have the college ball on Wednesday, so I don't think I'll be in much condition to work after that.
And I'm sitting here on FF watching football. Life is hard :P
301 words in, half way through my first paragraph... and I'm stuck.
I have no idea what to say to even proceed with bullshowerting. :(
Smashed out 400 words in about 20 minutes just then. flower it helps when you're interested in what you're writing about!
Still no reply from this joke of a lecturer about this speech I may or may not have on Monday with a group I may or may not be a part of though ::)

I have to do like three more 250 word paragraphs at least, and I have to go out for lunch to my cousin's place and we're leaving in like just over 90 mins. Probably won't be back until 6pm-ish and then I'll be watching TV (can't miss The Voice/Masterchef :P) so I'll have to sit and do it after that... gl;hf Nige.
I think I already mentioned I have no idea what I'm doing... it's going to be a very long night. :(
everyone's the opposite of me...I do 30 words in 20 mins and think I've done good then I watch 2 movies and half hour of youtube haha
I can do 100 in like less than 5 if I actually know and am interested in what I'm talking about.
just quote massive chunks ;)
always works

This is worth 30% and it's too late for an extension. We have to get 50% overall across the two assessments and the exam to pass the unit (iirc). And we have to get 40% minimum on the exam... I'm so flowered. I'm supposed to be majoring in this shower too, and I can't even do an essay for it. Not sure how I went on my speech/presentation.

I don't even know if I'm gonna finish this essay.
Had orchestra all day today cause a competition we like to win is coming up. 6 hours + concert band after it is to much
So, my Drama group is pissed off at me (they're trying to pretend/act like they're not) because I'm really busy this week when they are actually at fault for leaving things so damn late (we've had like three weeks since we got the group together). Things could have been set in concrete two weeks ago, but they kept flowering around. I kept out of most of the stuff because most have strong personalities and I wasn't about to get into shower with some randoms.
The main reason I'm busy is because I've got a stack of appointments which have been scheduled this week because Mum likes to book the both of us in for things at the same time to kill two birds with one stone. She's going overseas for a month on Saturday. I'll probably start my first ever shift of work this Friday so I'm not gonna turn that down for a rehearsal.
On top of that, my group decided we'd be using masks for part of our performance but didn't care to take into account or even ask/listen to me being as blind as a bat without my glasses which the masks won't go over. I said I'd take a role without the masks, but they insisted I didn't. A week and a half of me worrying about a character I won't even be playing...
TL;DR - My Drama group are being *dolly collections* and are trying to make me a scapegoat for the fact that they can't get their shower together.
Language please! Some groups tend to do that, so slack and leave it last minute, but then some people can't do anything about being pre-booked.... Why I hate group assignments at times!
I screwed up my oral so bad, worth 10% so eh.... I suck at orals but this was just bad haha. Rest of my group did better and I did next to nothing compared to everybody else in my class, so I'd be lucky to scrape 5%.
Need at least 3.5/6 from my lab today to avoid failing the unit, nervously awaiting to receive mark from tutor :-\
Although I honestly can't see myself getting more than 3...
Probably going to switch degrees as I'm just not enjoying programming and it's a much bigger part of Software Engineering than I thought it would be when I chose the course. Business Info Systems seems a lot better, and I've already done some of its core units and really enjoyed them

TL;DR - My Drama group are being *dolly collections* and are trying to make me a scapegoat for the fact that they can't get their shower together.
from my group experience my advice is:
be honest! tell them about the glasses....it can't be avoided and needs to be dealt with. if you have a group email/ facebook chat going then post it in that..
and also if they blame you for shower you didn't do, ask them why they didn't do anything in the first couple of weeks...
also-don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things ;)
Yeah, so today I was pretty much like "I'm not gonna do it" and got my role changed to one that doesn't need a mask.
Now I just gotta work hard on memorising my lines (which I'm terrible at doing). Have been given freedom to change my lines a bit to whatever suits if it makes it easier.

just emailed my group leader (satan) some thing she demanded, it was the worst thing I've ever done.... waiting to get crucified
:(
Are you studying/participating in some cult at Uni these days? :o
Wedderburn Satanists?
I had a feeling you two weren't far away after jobe posted this. :P
haha true..
hey they just had gay pride day at uni...next week is satanist day! free goat!
Beech will whip a classic goat curry for the occasion I suppose??
haha see his fb statuses about how he hates uni and he's gonna tell them where too stick their course?! hahaha
Finally finished the essay I had that was actually due last Thursday (but my tutor is chill and isn't that fussed).
Now gotta do those two remaining blogs.
And then I also have to do that social media marketing campaign as well.
The blogs and and the campaign are due Friday, so I don't have to cram them all in tonight (thank God!).
My mate got an extension on his maths assignment the other day for teacher incompetence. I want that :P

I feel like I need that on 80% of my assignments
Oh yeah, at the end of the tute yeseterday, my HRD teacher said something along the lines of: "A majority of you didn't do very well on the essay and the results were disappointing. I'm not sure why, made you weren't exactly sure of what the task was."
I... and I could sense most of my other classmates thinking "Well yeah, that's exactly why the results were bad, because you didn't explain shower."
Laptop's just about dead and I didn't bring my charger. Now latched on to the Uni wifi on my phone. #firstworldproblems #mybad
Told my Drama group to message me when they're free so we can meet up since they all had class. Just saw three of them head down towarda Maccas and I didn't even get told or get asked if I wanted to come. #madinvite
My anger towards these people and the outcast feeling is strong in this one... and justified too I daresay.

There are always some down times for Uni life, think Nigey has just been in it for a long time :P.
And you get use to not being invited to stuff, happens to me all the time but you get over it (As mine is from usual friends and not from group members).
flowered up today, but I don't give a flower.
Fairly sure my group hates me, at least the feeling is mutual. ;D
the hardest thing about uni: trying to bluff when you haven't done any work and a teacher or group leader asks what you have researched and what you found...erm...errr...ummm...well...flower!
did it today and the group leader was not impressed haha
No offense but you all sound like it would be terrible to be in a group with you.

This is why I like group work where each person is graded individually, so whoever doesn't put in the effort, they screw themselves rather than others (if you don't get a say in your group).

Offense taken. :)
Yet you're god damn right. ;D
Group work ends up two ways for me:
a) You do 90% of the work just so you get a decent mark but get 0 sleep and all your group members get credit
b) You do your share of the work and everyone else does awful and you get a bad mark
if your group aren't pulling their weight you can always dob them into the lecturer... get them removed from the group, or it might get your mark scaled up and theirs down (depending on your lecturer)
I had a group presentation today and it went really well I think we all contributed fairly evenly and everything ran rather smoothly :) Think we are going to get a Distinction judging by the peer-assessed marks :)

I checked it out last year cause a friend had to go pick up an assignment. I don't actually have to travel that side of Uni but I can do it for a meet up ;). Still yet to meet the elusive Huggy Bear creature everybody talks about.

Yeah, we really need to meet up. You boys free and at uni at all during swotvac? (Next week will be hella hectic for me but I guess it's still possible for a quick catch up.) I've met Spite a few times but we should check if he's free too. Any other Claytonians?

I can come in whenever during swotvac. No idea when I'll actually be free next week but Tuesday I can probably do before 12 or after 2, if given enough notice. Thursday might be getting a little too close to Friday (major presentation) for comfort though...

I can do anytime after 11 Wednesday, after 3 Thursday, after 2 Friday (perhaps earlier depending on when I finish my lab)
Or just anytime in swotvac as long as it isn't early in the morning (although I guess coffee would be better in the morning?)
Wait, maybe not Friday, depending on whether I have to go to the physio on a weekly basis or not
Looks like swotvac it is! Screw early in the morning... I was thinking more like 10:30/11ish for morning tea.

This is why I like group work where each person is graded individually, so whoever doesn't put in the effort, they screw themselves rather than others (if you don't get a say in your group).
Peer rating system for the win. Every class we would have group assignments we also had a peer rating system where you would rate each member of the group. The peer assessment would count to your overall mark and could count for as much as 10% of the assignment. If there was negative feedback they would lose marks off the original submission which was good when working with deadbeats. So say you got a 65% because someone was not turning up, not submitting stuff etc, you would basically give them a negative rating and if yours was positive you would gain marks. So the 65 for the positively rated group members would bump up to a 70%, for the guys with negative marks it would drop down to below 60%. I think there were 3 people I only ever gave the negative marks too and that is because they just either never turned up or didn't do any work.
There was one guy that we went 7 weeks before we realised he was in our group. He turned up week 1, we were assigned groups, never turned up to any classes after the first, we handed in the assignment in week 7 and were asked to resubmit by our lecturer since we forgot his name. We all figured he had dropped out, turns out he didn't but just never showed up for classes.
Another chick had a pretty critical responsibility in organizing one of our projects. It was her idea and all the contacts were hers so we asked her to do 3 or 4 things which involved interview questions and times to meet the contacts. We did the rest, got into the car to go meet the people on the day and she had done nothing, we did the work she was supposed to on the wa there and said we would do it again the week after and this can be a test run. The following week she bailed, we had to come up with something last minute and it basically f'ed the rest of us up.
The third guy we had a pretty critical meeting, it was the last chance we had to run through everything on an assignment that was worth something like 50%, the previous 3 weeks he had bailed on the meetings but that week he told us he would be there. He no shows again and we decide on relegating his role. Our lecturer was in on these meetings so pretty much knew what was going on, she baked him on the phone at the end of the class that day and said he would be in next week to do it. The following week he actually turned up and he went into it with no prep, I am pretty sure he came close to failing.
We have a similar system to the above. The maximum you can get bumped up to is 110% of your mark (so a 70 becomes a 77, etc.) and the minimum you can get is 0. I've given one person a 0 before. More often than not, my score is between 1.03 and 1.1...

I haven't had one of these myself yet, but at engineering in usyd it's pretty similar. Basically, you get allocated groups based on your rankings from previous years, so you get like 1 good person, 2 average people and one idiot in your group. You do the assignment, and your marks get pooled (so, if your team of 4 got 80, then you get a pooled mark of 80*4= 320). When you hand in the assignment, you also hand in the peer review though (which I don't know exactly how it works, like a mark out of 10 or something).
Then your final mark is dependent on how your team gets ranked. For isntance, if one guy never shows up and you all give him 0, he'll basically get 0 for the assessment, which means the pooled marks of 320 marks are divided by 3 and you all get like full marks :P
or, at least that's how I understand the system to work anyway. :P

The third guy we had a pretty critical meeting, it was the last chance we had to run through everything on an assignment that was worth something like 50%, the previous 3 weeks he had bailed on the meetings but that week he told us he would be there. He no shows again and we decide on relegating his role. Our lecturer was in on these meetings so pretty much knew what was going on, she baked him on the phone at the end of the class that day and said he would be in next week to do it. The following week he actually turned up and he went into it with no prep, I am pretty sure he came close to failing.
we just get friends in that class to peer review us all A's and then we do the same with them ;)

I started procrastination about 12 weeks ago...
My FYP is due tomorrow, we need to print it, our supervisor only just replied to us with comments on our draft (which we've since edited a lot anyway). So annoying but at least we actually got comments... was thinking we'd never get them!

OH MY GOD, I literally just drop-punted my controller across the backyard. There's something wrong with it, it just flips its shower randomly. Like when I'm running with the ball it'll suddenly decide it wants to do a lob pass out of play.
Same thing happens in GTA when I'm flying I always get randomly bailed.

stay classy Bendigo!
So had a 100% law exam yesterday..
Really not sure how I went, can't be confident I didn't fail and I've got a bad feeling a lot of the stuff I wrote is irrelevant..Really want to pass though cos I actually did put a lot of work in and basically I just don't want to have to do it again :P
Oh well it's done now, can't do anything about it, only got 1 more exam which I think i need like 20% in to pass the subject, so basically I'm free :)
I swear all my lecturers are spastics for one of my units. They make us do an Essay Plan, but they don't mark it or give us feedback until after we hand in our final essay. flowering stupid.
Anyway, madly cramming to get this essay done, only 940 words to go now. Hoping I can finish the essay tonight and then smash out referencing tomorrow.

Rule 1 - Don't wait until until 11:30pm the night before it's due to do an assessment that starts with the word "Major".
Rule 2 - Don't go on FF to post about it instead of doing it.

Gotta get cracking though Craigy! FF is a good procrastination tool, for every like 400-500 words written ;).

You guys get to redo things if you fail them? Does it change your mark or do you just have to pass them so that they know that you understand the content?
maybe he means repeat the course?
although, some subjects do let you retake exams...
For Monash, when you get an overall mark between 45-49, you can take a supplementary exam in a month or two after. If you pass that, you pass the unit.
Although, pretty sure Jobe means repeat the entire unit/subject over again, which is a bugger but at least gone through the content once before :P.
At Sydney Uni some courses get concessional passes, where if you got 45-49 or something you can talk to the faculty or something

yeah so im on 40% now. and the exam is worth 40% so if I get below ten (below 50 all up) then the lecturer will let you take the exam again to pass the course, although last year my mate got 49% and the lecturer didn't tell him about the second exam and he had to do the class again haha
Holy shower the La Trobe LMS and email systems went down last night, during exams!!!!! hahaha unlucky
Haha, reminds me how when I was in year 12, right before trials boredofstudies went down and flowered heaps of people looking for easy notes :P
So before the HSC me and my friends went and downloaded notes for basically every subject our school offered, so when bos went down again (which it did), we could distribute them to our cohort.
I'm still reasonably sure the site kept getting hacked by someone to give themselves an edge in their exams :P

It's not too bad, although I would like to be able to see my timetable (as in with the lectures and stuff already scheduled, and perhaps where I've allocated certain preferences already) while I'm doing my preferences
I don't mind Allocate+, some parts of it aren't exactly helpful though.
Allocate+ is annoying, but for Monash students, chuck open MUTTS and load your timetable plan on there and work in Allocate as well.
What I do and usually makes things alot easier. Also doesn't hurt that most lectures are auto-allocated for me, so just need to see about like a few other classes that are 1-2 hours each.
Ok, tiny vent time
I haven't had any exams this semester. Yay, you might think. WRONG! Because instead I've had to do 5 essays for 4 subjects. My body is a wreck, my mind even worse. So many allnighters. I would KILL to have an exam, to have a subject over and done with in 2-3 hours sounds like bliss. Plus the standard of writing is so much lower in an exam compared to an essay But instead I've had to waste precious hours of my life finding sources for arguments.
Currently on my last essay (and last all nighter). It's 6am, gonna sleep for an hour, then finish it off and hand it in before noon, when it's due. It's a complete piece of shower, but I really don't care anymore hahaha.
Flower my life.
School's out 8)
Depends how long you have to write the essays Stew, cause if you've had all semester not too bad to do that. Even if you have a month pretty good time if you're on top of the time management! I can do essays well so prefer them to exams because so use to them over past 2.5 years (Arts student :P ).
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Think I may have failed/barely passed my last exam, but I don't really care anymore, can relax. I should be feeling crap after that exam but I think I've lost motivation for uni a year ago :P.
Allocate+ concept is good in theory but it always glitches out subjects and screws things up!
hope i passed my one exam! don't want to do that shower subject again!

Haha mate I'm so pumped that I'd be happy for you to take em. That's how god damn generous I'm feeling :P
Got a credit, a pass and failed a unit (which I've already spoken about in another thread).
Good timetable for the upcoming semester.
Need to talk to the course coordinator and find out whether I need to repeat the unit.
Very happy too, there was one unit I was scared about failing but managed to pass it :).
Only annoying thing is I got a 79 for a subject, so close to a HD... ::)

is an 80 a HD at your uni? (at usyd you need 85).
I was pretty happy- I got a 64 in one of my subjects that I was disappointed in, then two scores in the low 70s, and one 92.
I was suprised I got 68 for one of my subjects when I couldn't do half of the final exam :-X

I think all the Victorian unis are 80 for an HD, 70 for D, 60 for C, 50 for P. Not sure about elsewhere but that's definitely what I've heard is common.

Haha, I know you did. I've done 38 units now (39 units worth because my FYP was a double credit point subject)
for 22 HDs (23 if you count FYP as 2), 13 Ds, and 3 Cs. I am king of the nerds!
One HD and 3 D's... pretty chuffed.
Just spent 260 bucks on stupid textbooks today >:(
One HD, two H2B's and a H3. Pretty content with the results for a first semester that involved a helluva lot of beers.

Haha I might decide on a different uni - it's just that Melb uni has the highest requirements, so if I reach them and then don't go to melb uni, it won't be because I couldn't. . . If that makes sense :P

Haha, I get ya. I think they've really tried to separate themselves now so that Melbourne is really dominating the postgraduate stuff (meaning you go there if you already know you want to do postgrad in something) and Monash is doing the double degree approach. Obviously, each to their own. I've had a ball exploring lots of different things but you can do that just about everywhere if you're smart about it.

I've been procrastinating a lot with homework since the start of this term and i'm not sure why - really out of character for me. Still getting the work done, but leaving it until the night before it's due and generally doing it after dinner. Anyone experienced similar? Will have to try hard to get back in to my normal routine tomorrow I guess

Belbin questionnaire and then grades. Having good grades had not advantaged me in the slightest.
I just need to stay positive though.
At this early stage, loving the new semester :o 8)
My first task of the semester was to walk around the block and look at stuff. 8) It was a shame the day went downhill from there. :(
Communication tomorrow, always great! ;D
My Communication class is awesome.
Although the group assignment stuff starts next week so we'll see how long that lasts. :P
BAHAHA I JUST GOT RESULTS FOR ONE OF MY EXAMS 52% BAHAHAHAHA
Picking my Year 12 subjects tomorrow, finally settled on these 4.
English Communications
Maths Studies (level below Specs)
Music Technology
Economics
Not sure whether to be pumped or..
Economics <3.
Had to listen to a presentation on asylum seeker's today. I did learn something but the guy reiterated that same point about fifteen times except with new pictures

Halfway through Term 3 and Year 12 getting really busy now! Just assessment upon assessment ::)
Good luck mate - when do you finish learning new material?
Yeah, some teachers love stacking assessments all at the same time, so gets fun... Hopefully handling the pressure well, just have some stress-relieving activities on the side to make sure you are able to handle the pressure, especially when exams roll by next term ;).

I have reached the stage where anybody not doing the chem eng design project has no right to complain about uni and every time someone does, they're a little dog that doesn't know what they're talking about. I am so broken right now.
(Note: Not calling any of you "little doges", just hating everyone fortunate enough to not be in my position.)
I don't have a right to complain about Uni, I'm just not in the mindset to study so just gotta hope I pass stuff this sem :(.
And a maths folio :o :o. Never heard of such a thing.
a Maths folio is basically a Maths assignment, just like any other subject really. I do business Maths (so no algebra ;D ) and this one is on home loans and investments. Up to 21 pages now woo....
I think I have an assignment due some time next week. Should probably investigate as to whether that actually is the case.
hey fellas, if you wouldn't mind filling out this survey for my Business & Enterprise assignment that'd be great :)
It's a marketing assignment and mine is about footy boots - given we all like footy it should be something we can relate to - and should take less than a minute.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D53KSXV
done
*4. What factors influence your decisions when purchasing a boot? (Tick as many as applicable)
Other (please specify)
How much person they bring in. Also how well blood washes off them.
Did I do it good enough?
Could of done it betterer.
Hey Guys/Gals.
If anybody has a spare 30 minutes, can you please complete this survey on music for a Psychology subject I'm doing :). And if you do, can you please mention that Dominic Binny is the researcher that sent you. Not a bother if you can't as quite a bit longer than Tomi's survey but apparently can complete it in 2 sittings if you save the link.
https://monashmnhs.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_24EuZAqaXdthy9n&Q_JFE=0
Apparently it is noted if we recruit participants or not, but yeah takes roughly 20-30 mins to complete so not a short one.
pretty in depth HP.. :D
It is indeed... Takes ages to complete and they've made the survey over past 5 weeks, running this data collection for 2 weeks, then going to put out the results for us in another week or two in which we have to do a project on in a month. Pretty jam packed for the study :P.

Roll up with supreme confidence. And make it funny. People vote for the ones they remember.
Careful with the teacher joke too. If you nail it, you're in. If its too offensive/not funny then you're done. People won't vote for a joke fail and teachers get a say in school captains 95% of the time so don't savage anyone :p
Just be yourself, unless you're not school captain material. In which case, pretend to be!

A good intro and conclusion would be perfect, the body is quite easy to structure. Only 90 seconds too.
Pleaseeeee help me
Roll up with supreme confidence. And make it funny. People vote for the ones they remember.
Careful with the teacher joke too. If you nail it, you're in. If its too offensive/not funny then you're done. People won't vote for a joke fail and teachers get a say in school captains 95% of the time so don't savage anyone :p
Just be yourself, unless you're not school captain material. In which case, pretend to be!
Sing an inspirational song.

Yeah, you've just got to be casual, funny and witty. Keep it simple but make sure you appeal to both the cohort and staff and you'll be right. The three lads who got captaincy and deputy/vice-captaincy in my year did exactly that and were pretty much the only dudes to get votes.
student free day tomorrow, which means I've got 18 actual days of school left (two 5-day weeks this term, then two 4-day weeks next term) then she's all over :-\

I remember that feeling, it was actually kinda weird. Wait until your final day... it'll suddenly hit you that it's all over.
Did I slightly underestimate the difficulty of this comparative analytical essay? Maybe just a little.

I'm already getting those feelings, as much as I want to go I really want to stay. I see all the younger years and wish I could go back there. :(

One thing I won't forget is seeing some of the toughest blokes in our year level, like the ones renowned as the 'cool kids' getting pretty emotional. That was weird.
currently in the stage of limping to the end of the year. If this is what its like in Year 11 not at all ready for Year 12. :/ At least Ill have the RP out of the way in 6 weeks.
I didn't really get emotional on my last day, just sorta went fast. Given my high school days for the better half were pretty bad and made me feel like crap thinking back so don't really care :P.
Just got to know what you struggled with this year and pick it up for year 12, like time management and cramming/not studying, etc. Year 11 like practice for Year 12 :P.

Some people got emotional, but like the last assembly was pretty eh really so didn't feel that special which didn't help if wanted to see people get emotional :P.
I at least started the handshake the principal thing, which ended up causing everybody else behind me to do the same, and created a log-jam with people lining up for it >:D.
The year 12's at my school usually sing the school song at the end of year assembly but that's about it
We all went to my friend's house near school after the last day and got blind drunk. Was fantastic!
We went to Luna Park

Our last day was pretty rad (it was celebration/muck up day). The assembly for us got watered down heaps though because of the nonsense in the previous years.

Haha it's more of a 'footy chant' rather than a song but I was just saying that no one really gets emotional - No real muck up day either though after what has happened in previous years

Our Year 12 director is very uptight on what is (basically nothing) and isn't (basically everything) acceptable on muck-up day
We've still got a few little plans to come up with and will have to start planning a few cheeky pranks we'll try and pull
Anyone got any ripping ideas?

Haha yes, I'm remember hearing about this.
One year the lads at my school turned the fountain/water feature outside the chapel into a bubble bath.
Another year they locked one of the school gates with a padlock and put some note saying the code to breaking the lock was some algebraic thingo, one of the staff members ended up just grabbing bolt cutters to open it.
I will share what we did for our muck up day: (I did year 12 some 30 years before some of you were born)
1) Advertised the Headmasters car for sale at a ridiculously low price using the headmasters direct line.
2) Caught some Yabbies/lobsters and put in the Holy Water Font in the chappel
3). For those old enough to remember secured an outhouse and put it on top of the Admin Block along with a mini car for those who remember the mini bricks.
4) Do not know whether you can still acquire these days but workrd out how long a mosquito burned to get into the Headmasters grade 11 maths lesson. Then purchased 3 double bungers tied to the mosquito coil at the right place and put in a locker. Created a nice explosion and was great to see the Headmaster tear out of the lesson and try and find out how done it.
5) At lunch time some boys and girls swapped uniforms for the afternoon.
6. Got hold of an old manual air raid siren and set it off
See muck up days or final days have been going on for years, And you probably thought I was a nice quiet and innocent type.
It was tougher for us to do stuff last year for our muck up day, so we didn't do anything destructive or anything like that. Instead, we turned part of the school into a beach and chilled there for the day.
Although a few years back a few guys redirected traffic from Alexandra Ave and Toorak Rd through the school. Would've been pretty interesting.

I am definitely considering picking up road work signs and blocking off the streets which lead to the entry of the school's car parks.

That's actually a pretty good idea - The teachers who get there early would probably figure it out though

The speech went really well, now just to wait and see how I went. Thanks for the input guys.
Flunked my methods test and may have to resit however, totally forgot about revising as I didn't know we had a test today, I'm absolutely spewing.. Pass mark is 35% but I just totally went blank - knew all the concepts but forgot how to apply it all, hadn't had maths in 2 weeks which is a large chunk of time lost.
Anyway a lecture from father and I'll move on.. Lucky it's only Year 11.
Unlucky about the test wato - Although make sure you actually understand all the theory otherwise you will be flowered next year lol. Goodluck with the captaincy as well.
In other news, 3 days until holidays 8)

Thanks mate, short lists happen sometime today, awaiting an email from my school supervisor (quite nervous actually)
Cannot wait to be honest! ;D
Severely lacking motivation to do any work at the moment. I really need the mid semester break this week, that is actually in the middle of the semester, not in 2 weeks after week 9 ::). I know Monash want to align it with the grand final week, but I guarantee like 70%+ of students would be more productive if we had the break actually in the middle of the semester to freshen up.

Yeah, agree. And for like the last 2 weeks I thought it was next week, and found out today it's the week after :'(

Pretty sure it's to align with school holidays. And all Australian universities (or the vast majority) have their break at this time which means they can hold uni games during that week.

It's flowering ridiculous. They do it to line up with public holidays, but it's still a pain in the ass.
It was worse (last?) year though in first sem when they lined it up with easter, which was really early that year, so we had our midsem break after week 4.
Quit your whinging guys at least you get a break. I have 8 weeks of uni followed by 10 weeks in hospitals with no break whatsoever. That also means that I finish in December. So how do you think I feel? :P

My part of a group assignment and an essay to do by Tuesday morning.
This is deja vu.
That said, the group assignment could have been sorted ages ago but I was one of two people who wanted to be proactive about it and when there's six people in a group, it's impossible.
Really don't know how I managed to end up in two groups this semester which just had to be presenting on the same day that we had to hand in an essay.
Mine have already come and gone, I've got such a hectic schedule at uni that I can't cope with doing nothing lol :).
I'm at uni like all day every day. I'm here right now!

yeah, I got banned from playing games too!
Our school literally has a whole IT department devoted to stopping students from playing games.
Back when I was in Year 7 and 8 they would police us so hard if we were playing games.
Now kids sit in the library at lunch and play Minecraft and when you want to use a computer for actual homework or something you can't because they don't care anymore about the little showers playing games. :P
They have remote access to our computers while we are at school (means no online games can be played) and have rigged our laptops so that we can not install anything at all on them. :'(
wow!
we get banned and don't get an explanation or anything-just cut straight off!!!
Meanwhile, at uni, you can use the internet to download leaked celebrity nudes and nobody blinks an eyelid.

We did this too, and then they would check usbs as well. So everyone used this program called Mini XP or something like that to hide stuff. :P

We use to play CS either from computer files or from usbs, if they removed it from the system :P.
Just finished my mid-semester test worth 30%.... I went mind blank for one question worth 5% of my entire unit, got another model confused for another 5% of my unit but at least I got lucky and the question worth 20% I knew :D. So sorta good, sorta bad, but should pass so good enough.

Lecturer challenged us to go the lesson without using our laptops or phones today, most put their stuff up the front on a table as he requested, I just put my laptop away in my bag and left my phone closed on the table in front of me.
I was doing well for a while but eventually caved and checked the trade news on my laptop during the second break. :( :-[

I wrote some numbers down - let's just hope they're right
Got 24/30 for that Business essay I did a few weeks ago. Pleasantly surprised.
hhahahaha.
so, we had this report for marine bio due for this crappy experiment we did. Basically, the procedure was so simple that we were given the instruction to 'For the methods don't recount the procedure you did, rather focus on explaining and justifying your hypotheses'.
We were all like- wtf, that's such a stupid method instruction, that should be in the intro, but w.e, if that's what we have to do. So everyone follows the instructions, mentions the hypotheses in the intro and then elaborates on them in the methods/ justifying them.
Then everyone got comments on their methods section wherever hypotheses are mentioned saying 'this should be in your introduction, not in your methods.'
actually, here's the instructions copied word for word from the assignment info sheet
'Methods- Here, we do not want you to repeat your instructions above but discuss your hypothesis and the reasons why you chose it and the appropriate analyses and graphs'
Classic usyd bio department :P

But everyone else has sent in an email saying- wtf, if you tell us to do something in writing, don't mark us down for doing it.
Been putting off doing an assignment worth 15% of my grade for about 3-4 weeks now, gotta get it done by Sunday or Monday.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Yeah better bring that up to them as instructions said otherwise so got a case! Kinda bs otherwise...

Got a bunch of journals due Sunday but my lecturer wanted me to have them done by our meeting tomorrow.
Definitely gotta have them done, even if really poorly, by Wednesday morning when I meet a tutor though.
You can get away with just finding a few for tomorrow and find the rest before Wednesday/Sunday Nige! I've done that before :P.
I've got like 50% worth of assessments due next week and I reckon I should start them soon... But feeling sick and stuff lately so putting them off :(.
I have one due Sunday, one Tuesday and one Thursday...two of which I haven't even looked into anything about, so should probably get started...tomorrow

Turns out we don't have to do journals for Weeks 11 and 12.
Means I've got 7 journal entries to do by about midnight (since I need to wake up at like 5:45am for Uni tomorrow).
Likely to procrastinate by watching NCIS and NCIS LA which means 8:30-10:30pm is a write off so I've got 3 hours. Considering the 3 I did last time took about an hour, I say too easy. 8)

Decided since I knew flower all on weeks 8-10 that I wouldn't do them before my little meeting with the English Language advisor. He pretty much told me everything I thought I was doing wrong or wasn't doing, so pretty much just confirmed things for me. Now I just have to smash them out some time soon. 8)
Current assignment I'm working on should be 2 or 3 pages the lecturer said.
I'm about 75% of the way through and have hit 3 pages. Might have to actually LOWER the font to make the page limit.

good idea, did a bit of both and got it down to pretty much exactly 3 pages.
They are the most annoying types of assignments Jukes, when you have a page limit rather than a word limit ::)
Most of the time they specify what size fonts, line spacing and margin widths are to be used as well just to make it even more difficult :P

One of my assignments that I thought was due this tuesday is now due a week later! Praise the lord, another week of not doing it.
I have some stuff due this week and only now have the motivation to try and start them :P. Gonna try to crack a poster (of a lab report of a study we conducted) tonight, hopefully can get it done by like 4-5am then sleep... Maybe.
This is for the survey on music I had people complete a few weeks ago! And happy to say after my data analysis, that there seems to be no correlation between listening to country music and scores on the depression scale (according to this study) :P.

Try an "all staff meeting" with school captains and SRC in your hall at start of lunchtime. Exclude teachers on "yard duty" ;D
Perhaps try a don't be late..special guest speaker?
You could try this but do not know how relevant it is in today's schools. We did this one year.

Funny you should say that, Nige. I've found that university has a much more active community than school but it's entirely what you make of it. If you don't get involved, you're missing out and letting yourself down! In terms of structure and organisation, that's what you're meant to be learning at uni. There's still structure in place but you need to make sure you follow it and are organised yourself. Nobody's gonna chase you up if you let yourself fall behind.
To all the kids going into uni next year, my advice is simply this: Get involved, stay on top of things, have fun!

the structure thing is a pain and I still cbf/ do everything last minute :P

I love school, very indifferent about tomorrow. I want to move on, but also really like the structure and organization :( I'M NOT READY FOR THE REAL WORLD
Yeah, that was and still is me.
I still struggle with the lack of community, structure and organisation.
Funny you should say that, Nige. I've found that university has a much more active community than school but it's entirely what you make of it. If you don't get involved, you're missing out and letting yourself down! In terms of structure and organisation, that's what you're meant to be learning at uni. There's still structure in place but you need to make sure you follow it and are organised yourself. Nobody's gonna chase you up if you let yourself fall behind.

I do agree, but on the flip side, a lot of the Uni clubs and activities are things that don't interest me and I'm not going to join simply for the hell of it.
Haven't really formed many solid friendships or anything at Uni or anything and I'm really not that interested in doing so to begin with.

Which is the why I grew to enjoy (wouldn't say love, bit of a stretch haha) high school.
I just don't feel the love or community vibe from anyone at Uni, sure there are some cool people who I've met but it's not the same as high school for me.
Although, I'm fairly sure going to a Catholic all boys school had something to do with all of this. :P

As a 1st year uni student, would have to say I 100% agree with this! I've absoluted loved the community and the people I met and just the general atmosphere. I've thrown myself into heaps of stuff and made some great friends, been the best year of my life. I enjoyed school too for sure, just love the freedom you get with uni. At school you can't miss class and just go to the bar. I think having a high work ethic has helped me too, I've always been pretty self-motivated in that regard so I'm pretty happy with how I've gone academically too.
my one piece of advice for uni....
don't peak too early! I mean 1st or 2nd year..
a drunk 4th year told me, best advice I got
Agree with the words Huggy, stay on top and get involved. Uni is fun!

Finished my 3000 word essay (have 2712 words, +/- 10% is good) that's due tomorrow after starting last night :D worked from about 11 to 7 while watching football and talking to somebody, I'd say that's a job well done. Actually think I'll do good at this assignment (it's in my worst unit, on 53%), part of it was bullshower filler to get words but more was actually good content. Now just a test (tomorrow) and one more assignment due Sunday for the semester before exams!

Physics question - When a car decreases its speed, it loses momentum. But if all momentum is conserved (Law of conservation of momentum), where does this momentum go?
I could be wrong, but
I think that if the car is just decreasing in speed without interacting with other objects, then momentum is lost. Whereas if it were to hit a stationary object, then the momentum of both objects after the collision would be equal to the momentum of the car before the collision
i.e. Conservation of momentum only applies when there are 2 or more objects in the system?

It's a typical two body problem where the first body is the car and the second is the Earth.
p = mv so conservation of momentum is that m1v1 + m2v2 must be conserved.
The car's mass is practically zero compared to the Earth's mass so you can say that the Earth increased its velocity by "practically zero" while the car slowed down. Of course, there are billions of these moments happening at the same time on Earth and there are so many other factors considered that there really is, in the grand scheme of things, no effect on the planet. Still, momentum is technically conserved.

Pretty much.
Although to be fair I also had assignments due on the 24th and 26th. Just a flowering hectic season. Might see if I can ask for an extension on my Lit assignment that's going a little less than swimmingly thus far.

Starting assignments before there's a week until it's due is a complete waste of time. I actually can't find any motivation to do something very early and get writer's block, but when I'm working overnight on deadline day I can pump it out fast and of good quality.

Starting assignments before there's a week until it's due is a complete waste of time. I actually can't find any motivation to do something very early and get writer's block, but when I'm working overnight on deadline day I can pump it out fast and of good quality.
Can confirm.
Quote from: My Chumps on October 28, 2014, 12:35:34 AM
Pretty much.
Although to be fair I also had assignments due on the 24th and 26th. Just a flowering hectic season. Might see if I can ask for an extension on my Lit assignment that's going a little less than swimmingly thus far.
This too.
Who said Arts is easy? :P

Handed in 2 assignments today one 90 pages the other 140+ pages, engineering life :/
Sure hope they didn't make you print it all out
Had to be printed, bound and fill out the form details.
Seriously? flowering stupid. Who even needs trees I guess.
We have to print our 800-odd page project... This is after already printing the first section and second section before for their initial submissions. But we still have to print them again.
At the start of the semester I had about 100 dollars in printing credit thinking I'd never use it up.
800 pages is something else, hopefully not a sign of things to come.
OMG EXAM ON FRIDAY :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Only one more assessment before exams now :D handed in one and did a test today. Easiest test ever, was 2 pages of short answer questions, half of them were just "list the four..." and you'd have to write 10 words. Have to start one due Tuesday, then two exams and in comes 60 more credit points toward my degree :)

So what do you do after exams are finished? Start year 12?

We get a week off for some reason (i'm not complaining) - then 8 days of year 12 before holidays. Teachers are already spouting cliches about the workload, probably trying to scare us

Ah right yeah, we've got the same sort of set up, but I get an extra week or so of holidays as all my exams are early on, and then 5 days of year 12 "orientation"
What subjects you doing mate?
Three of us doing Year 12 next year boys, sounds sweet, I'm actually genuinely excited.
I have two weeks of Year 11 left and then a week head start for Year 12 (same as RB) and we're finished for the year late November.
Big Mac, were you saying you were doing spesh earlier in this thread.. In Year 11? You must be an absolute genius!
But yes, what subjects are you boys completing?
Doing Geography, Methods, P.E, Biology and Psych at the moment. (as well as english)
Dropping one for next year, most likely Psych at this stage. Struggling with methods but I'll keep on truckin'.
What about yourself mate?
Make that 4. :) Pleasure to be among some esteemed FF'ers doing the journey!
Got 14 more day sof classes then exams, then 9 weeks off!
Maths Studies, Economics, Music Technology and English Communications is my lineup.
Good luck guys, study hard and I'm sure you'll get the results you'll want.
Or you can be like me, not study at all, play video games and bluff every assessment yet still get your #1 uni choice :3

Started off so promising :p
Beautiful boys, I'm sure we'll have some awesome discussions as next year wears on!
Very nice RB, heard psych was a brain duller, not very enjoyable whatsoever haha, but hopefully you make the best decision for yourself man! Yeah Methods is a killer atm, got so much HW to deal with and I'm way behind the eight ball, might have to get some textbook answers from you at some stage next year hahaha. Wouldn't do that to you but!
And Koop that sounds sweet man, which state are you in? Never heard of some of themz? I'm guessing Maths Studies and English communications are not standard maths or English?
Thanks Jukes, great word of advice man! And for me, I have Methods, Chemistry, Biology, PE and English and will have completed R&S this year to give me 6 studies - currently 44/50 so far for the course and I've done Jack all (and I hate religion).
Good luck with Year 12 boys (and girls :-\). Enjoy the moments cause uni doesn't get much better.
At least not for me haha
Gotta love my exam on Friday. 20 MCQ, 4 essays in 2 hours :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :o :o :o :o :o :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ and then like 2 hours later another 1 hour exam

Quite a few schools run a year 11 spesh class, but it's considered a General Maths subject. I did year 11 spesh and it was piss easy. Year 12 is where it flowers you in the ass.
If any of you are looking for a Maths, Physics, or English Language tutor, hit me up ;)

South Australia. Maths Stuides is the one below Specialist but above Methods and Applications. So basically number 2 outta 4.
English Communications is the practical stream of english, not sure what you lot call it. Its for people who want to be Journo's (me), lawyers, Real Estate agents, that sort of thing.
Oh and Im doing a semester of Geography too, seeing as I didnt get enough SACE/VCE/HSC credits in Year 11 due to a range of reasons.

Trust me mate, you don't want my methods answers haha. Sounds like if anything I should be seeking help from you lads before my exam next week.
Sounds like a good set of subjects mate, doing 6 overall will help big time so you've done well getting one out of the way early.
Same sort of set up as myself, just chem instead of the piss easy Geography that I know and love :)
Sounds interesting Koop!

Haha not quite wato
Our school just puts the year 11's in the same spesh class as the year 12's so we learn the same content. Then we do the same thing again next year and *hopefully* do pretty well in it. The 'ass flowering' is well and truly underway :P
doesnt that mean you dont learn the shower you're supposed to learn in year 11 spesh though? :S
Quote from: Ziplock on October 29, 2014, 12:53:46 AM
doesnt that mean you dont learn the shower you're supposed to learn in year 11 spesh though? :S
You can get around it because most of the year 11 spesh isn't that much harder than year 11 methods (it's just expanded on)
I think it's common to have done the complex numbers aspect (for yr 12) in year 11 so Im not too surprised they doubled up on the whole years worth of study. Some of my friends even did yr 12 spesh without any yr11 spesh so it can be done
was the English exam today?
geez I remember that being death!
good luck for exams everyone!

I loved Psych in high school (still do depending on topics)! If anybody needs help with anything Psychology or Economics related, hit me up ;).
As for VCE in general, just time manage and try not to burn out by studying too hard throughout the year. Pace yourself and time manage :). And enjoy the holidays coming up while they last (or use them to get ahead).
Didn't really excel at too many topics, I was okay at Business Management and English though.
I was only good at being SRC tbh.
4th: Physics
6th: Maths Studies (Easy maths)
12th: Chemistry
14th: Specialist Maths (Hard Maths)
Looking forward to three of them, Chemistry is going to kill me though. :( Then it's 3 months break before uni, yay! :D
Good luck man, and everyone else doing Year 12 this year.
How was English?

Why wouldn't you want to do English? Best subject by far, and that's not just because I was good at it. 99.9% of English teachers are great people, and the content is generally good books/movies.

When you do two Maths subjects, it's unlikely you do English unless you have to. I agree though, pretty much all English teachers are top people.

I'm actually pretty decent at English but I still definitely prefer the maths/sciences. I guess it's because there's only one answer to math questions. With English there's really no way to gauge how your going until a teacher gets around to marking it

My subjects went; Maths Methods > Specialists Maths >> I.T. > Physics >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> English
Maths easily my favourite but I dislike Biology and Chemistry, bloody love Physics. I probably prefer English over the first two sciences though which is unusual I guess.

So for the same unit that I went well over the page-count for the last assignment, I'm probably going to be well under the page-count for the current assignment :3 8-pages on 5 topics and I've done about a page on 1 of them and that looks to be a lengthy question, so might be extremely under if I don't do some trickery :P
I'll be cutting it fine too, it's due Sunday night and I have football tomorrow afternoon for 4 hours...
One down three to go :)
2 down 4 to go. Got another two tomorrow and then I'm well and truly over the hill

Feel like helping me out mate? First things first my calculator's playing funny buggers on me tonight which is an issue as the calc active part is where I get all my marks :-\
Speaking of calculators...
Loaned my calculator to a mate of mine when he did his exams this time last year (he was in my year level but had to repeat Year 11 so finished in 2013). Still haven't got it back despite multiple attempts and reminders on my part.
Another friend of mine loaned the same mate a textbook a while back and still hasn't gotten that back either.
We're planning on going to his place on a recovery mission to retrieve our belongings which are being held hostage. :P

Definitely able to help you out. Not sure about calculators though. My teacher's a legend so when my calc was stuffing up I just gave it to him - he played around with it, sent it back to the people who made it and I had a brand new one the next week :P
I swear to god, 3rd year uni has just been the process of me submitting assignments closer and closer to the deadline

I know flower all on the topics, even with study. Rather two bites at the cherry.
Nah deffo go two.
Intro + conclusion is easy as and thats 350-400 words done easy as that.
In saying that 600 words 'essay' would be a slut to get out.
It would be easy if I knew what the flower I'm talking about haha.
Condensing stuff to 600 words is a bit of a struggle though usually.
Got the best exam timetable this semester. One of my subjects had an assignment instead of an exam, had my first exam yesterday. My next (definitely hardesT0 exam is in 8 days, then my last one is 5 days after that. Can concentrate on one at a time and still go out inbetween them lol.
I only have two exams :D for one unit I had a 3000 word assignment and a test instead, and the other was a 3500 word assignment. First is next week Friday, and the other the Monday after.
Here's the thing though - for the Monday one, the teacher has uploaded the questions online, as he says it'd help us learn more and would reward studying more. Too much pressure to study! But I've outlined this Sunday night - all-nighter - to go through the questions and do them all. Starting my study for the other exam tomorrow, I hope.
should do 2 smaller essays...then you have to do 2 lots of intro/conclusion which eats up more words...
have to paraphrase a lot because we have to put it on turnitin

7 EXAMS DOWN 2 TO GO. KILL ME NOW
one exam down (Friday), one to go (next Monday)
The finishing line is on the horizon!
My take home exam for Communication has been published. It's pretty straightforward, but I don't think I'm going to jump straight into it. Had a busy weekend so didn't get in as much study as I'd like, so will do a bit this morning.
We've got six questions and only have to answer three of them. Responses must be between 300-500 words each.
Pretty much all based around the theories of interpersonal communication of which I know at least half fairly well, which is why I'll revise the rest before I start in case they're more relevant to the questions I decide to do than others I already know.
Oh, and it's due on Friday, but since I've got another exam on Thursday, I'll probably do a question a day and finish it on Wednesday.
Thanks for letting us know
2 down, 6 to go

I don't really have that 'flair' in my writing that you need to get A+'s or even A's consistently (in core english) - I had a look at a friend's Language essays though and it looks more 'content-driven' in that you can do well just by knowing the content really well. Also seemed much more interesting. Am I on target?
My school doesn't offer English Language. :(
But I enjoy normal English so I don't mind.

Still need really strong writing skills to ace those essays but you're right in that it's more content driven. You won't get 30/30 (I think they're still marked out of 30) in an essay without very strong writing skills but you can still get those 25s. I'm a bit of an academic super nerd and I only got one 30 for the whole year (in our externally marked practice exams, mind you!) but I felt really good in the exam so might have got close in that too.
Sorry, but what is English Language? I think it'd be like Literature here but idk
Just submitted an assignment 1 minute and 45 seconds before the deadline. Phew!
Still have 2 assignments and 1 exam remaining this semester!

Nah. The opposite of literature... It's linguistics.
Ok so had an online exam today, and the worst possible thing happened to one of the guys sitting the exam in the same room as me.
So, it was 50% short answer quiz, 50% XML stuff. The quiz was located at the front page of the monash moodle website, where you just click your assessments and it kinda drops down the stuff you have to do. However, the XML shower was in the specific page of that unit. It took me a few moments to actually find it.
At the end of the exam, this kid goes "Well, that wasn't too bad actually. I reckon I did pretty well."
My mate: "Oh really? How'd you find the XML questions?"
Him: "XML? What XML?"
Mate: "You know, where we had to design the XSL file"
Him: "What. What are you talking about? Wasn't it just the quiz?"
Mate: "Nah man, there was XML as well!"
Him: "...well, I failed........flower."
I felt so bad for him, he's gonna need to basically ace the short answer stuff now.
Aw shower, that ain't good.
shower! Poor bloke
can he go up to a teacher or someone and explain that to them and ask if he can sit it again? probably not but worth a try :P

I have no idea, but I doubt it. Unless they have some other short answer questions made for him, but even then, I don't think they'd do that. I think the exam hurdle might only be 40%, so if he got enough marks during the semester, he could be ok. Worst situation to be in though :-\
I haven't really studied as much as I would have liked for my Management exam tomorrow but I'm not overly fussed since it's pretty simple stuff. Just covering the areas I don't really know as well as the others now. At least I know I've definitely passed this unit. :P
One more exam to go, on Friday (Specialist Maths). Then I'm freeeeeeee.... to make those trades in AXV's :P
Done my hardest exam, feel pretty good about it too :). Only one more to go, next Tuesday.

Could be quite different i don't know, but I had a management exam last week, it was pretty easy, ours was even open book :P
So yeah, wasn't an overly difficult exam, but you never know with these things.
I'm fairly sure I did enough to pass though, I reckon it'll be about 70% or so.
So my good mate's dropping out after failing 7 of the 8 units this year. Legendary waste of 8 grand.
Have a feeling I'm not prepared enough for tomorrow's exam, but also have a feeling that I'm overhyping the exam and it'll be easy. We'll see.

Sounds like one of my friends with the assignments, but somehow his unit coordinators allow him to turn them in very late (like after the semester is over, in January, etc)... I can understand getting sick of assignments but 8k down the drain....

wow way to make a big story out of nothing. Anyone with commonsense would've noticed that it was irrelevant. Thankfully we got the message and we got told before I got up to that question, which was pretty easy anyway.
Also it's a good thing because it means the exam will get scaled up more than it normally does. (Boosted ATAR coming up)

Jesus that's so stupid. There are mistakes on exams all the time, questions that get amended after the exams are sat because they don't fit the design properly. Not printing errors like these, but still, to get special consideration/higher scale for that is laughable.
Also what kind of spastic system is the SACE sitting the specialist and methods exams on the same day, and not having both subjects split into 2 exams. Bloody SA.

SA =/= Vic, let's get that bit right. So In SA the Maths scale runs as follows:
Specialist, Studies, Methods, Applicatinos, Whatever else is worse. You have to do Studies to do Spec, if you do Methods you can't do Specialist, that's why they can be run at the same time.
And according to some teachers, there will be extra scaling (Spec already gets scaled up heaps) because that way less complaints will be sent through when their kids get showerty marks, and they blame the printing error on the exam for the entire thing haha. I'm not too fussed though, I got it, and I shouldn't get a showerty score ;)
Okay, works similarly in Vic (ish). There is no studies (what is even in this) then there is spesh - methods - further. I am guessing further=applications, methods is scaled up decently and is required to do specialist which was the second highest scale up when I did it (latin the highest).
SACE is weird, the 3 different units you take in Vic are extremely distinct and have very clear pathways they lead into for tertiary studies, I am struggling to even comprehend why there is a 4th in SA.
But still, my point stands. The amount of concessions that people request through their VCE/SACE is ridiculous, 5 marks on a 150 mark exam is insignificant and won't make a significant difference in your final study score. As for the argument it could distract from the rest of the exam, you should be so well versed in sitting any exam for all your subjects by the time you sit them that almost nothing could derail you, much less a typing error.
In Vic specialist is bumped by 10+ almost every year (50 max), I'm guessing SA is comparable and that is plenty to compensate for the higher level of kids that take the subject, getting more over 1 error on the exam is laughable.

You'd be surprised how competitive these subjects are. 5 marks can actually be the difference between a really really good score and a good but could have done better score
Re the Studies thing, Methods has no Integration and different work in Matrices, otherwise it's basically the same.
End of year exams are 30% of the final grade, so 1/30 of that 30% is 1% of your overall grade, I guess it's not much haha
and I'm doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

3% out of an exam worth, at maximum, 2/3 of your final mark - perhaps more when accounting for the impact it would have on internal results.
Wouldn't have thought that's enough to justify altering the scale for an entire subject.

It was really weird at Mazenod, we had to at 3/4 Religion and not 1/2, and that was in Year 11, some guys got to do 1/2 Religion instead though.

Choosing electives is so fun. I'm limited to 10 2nd-year electives, and I've already done 8 core ones this year and have 2 core ones next year, so can't do any more for credit. So choosing from 3rd year ones, and how great is it that basically all of them have 2nd year units as pre-reqs which I haven't done yet, as all my 2nd year units this year were core. And I have to do a minimum amount of 3rd year units as well, so struggling to actually fill that requirement with my limited options.
So now have like 5 units to choose from, which is flowering spectacular.

Getting into my preferred uni course? Yeah, I'm cut.
I did nothing for English, IT, or Physics. Did a bit for Methods, and a lot for Spesh. Studied for SACs, got into my preferred course. As long as you do the important stuff, should be fine.
Mac, do as much or as little homework as you feel comfortable with. If you can honestly say that, in 12 months time, you will be happy with the work you've done and have no regrets, then you've done enough. However, if you think you'll regret not working harder... work harder!
In the excitement of finshing the year and exams I completely forgot my last assignment, a 7k word Maths Specs DI due at 9am tomorrow morning. 900 words down, gonna be a long night. :/ #Pray4Koop
7000 word assignment in high school?

My school has it and I know a little bit about it. As I have no plans on studying overseas I stuck to the local option.
I'm not sure what's worse.
Getting a 7000 word maths report in high school or completely forgetting about it :p

Really I'm just wondering what it's all about and how it's different to the normal thing. Understand you have to do another language or something, rigt?

I'm not sure what the normal structure is in Queesnland, but the IB runs as follows:
- English
- Maths
- Science (Physics, Chem, Bio, Environmental Systems)
- Humanities (Geo/History)
- Language
- Arts (However the Arts subject can become a 2nd Science)
You also have some Group 4 project (No idea what this is), and an Extended essay which specialises in one of our subjects. Three of your subjects have to be done at "High level" standard.
Oh and I forgot the 50 hours of Service, 50 hours of Action, and 50 hours of Creativity you need to do :P
It's a real killer, if you're committed and willing to give up all fantasy football for two years, then go for it, rewards are there, IB scores get turned into ripping ATAR's. (y)
Thanks PB. No way Im going to do haha.
Some of my friends are talking about doing it, don't see why you would pick that :P Far to much effort required :P

Also I believe it's an international program, not just a state one. So one advantage is that it is much easier to study overseas, if you wanted to :P
Yeah it's fully international and shower so yeah you get recognized overseas. In the last couple of years there's been people from my school land spots England, one in Oxford and the other in Cambridge.
I think something like a 31 in IB (it's out of 45) relates to an ATAR over 90. 31 is pretty much getting B- for your subjects, or 70%, so to land a 90 ATAR with that is pretty strong.
Yeah, know a few friends of friends who did IB a few years back and they landed like 99+ ATARs doing it. If you're going for high ATARs or want to study abroad as PB said, then IB may be worth the time and effort put into it!
If they don't think they can commit that time, best to stick to the normal studying, as got to be extremely dedicated to get through the IB program from the sounds of it.

Passed my Arts unit! 8) :P
19/30 on the group presentation.
15/30 on the argumentative essay.
17/20 on the group presentation reflection.
Had my only exam of the semester today! All done for this year and only one more year left of uni! :)
Just got my results from uni and I've passed my Associate degree in Engineering Technology (Civil) with the required GPA, now I'll be transferred to the Bachelor course. :)

a lot smarter than me, in my year 12 I tried really hard to get into law (which I did) than dropped out after a semester to do econs. IN the end got an ATAR like 18 points above what I needed.
unnecessary stress.

Gives you some work ethic, which I am still on my way to achieving. Although an ATAR is just a number at the end of the day I had a 62.95 which was about 25 points lower than I needed, got into this pathway course and just had to knuckle down.

I love holidays. I feel the stress levels will climb in the days leading up to the 18th though, the day I get my Yr 12 results :\
I like holidays....for a week. and then I'm bored

Takes a little longer but makes sure you're on target and motivated to get into the course you wanted, so some upside there!
I'm similar Jobe, why I like doing stuff on holidays, and get out of the house and try new things. Otherwise gets a bit mundane... But stress levels way down than from exam times ;D.

A friend of mine got a scholarship to uni at the end of year 11... because we're rural he got 5 bonus points and the scholarship gave him another 5, so to actually get into the course he only needed like a 60, but he ended up getting a 98- I always thought that he just subjected himself to unnecessary stress over the year.
Another friend of mine didn't even get close to the mark he needed for engineering, so he did arts and chose 3/4 of his subjects as engineering, smashed first semester and just transferred in :P
Umpiring is flowering great, get into it. Paid to watch sport and have supreme authority. I do footy umpiring, first year this year picked up over $1600 (I think it's like 1625) from doing it (and the medal for doing a grand final if that counts), plus surely like 100 in free food and gatorade, and am as fit as I've ever been, made a few mates doing it too. A few hours out of my Wednesday evening (training), Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon a week and that's it.

For those at Monash, grades are out!
Happy with one of my subjects, sad with another (cause it meant I failed the exam) and expected the other two scores. Guess can't complain cause I'm a slacker :(. Now gotta boost GPA next year again...
Damn. Got so close to that 80 WAM I put out of reach 3 years ago. Too late now, all over. Still, another really good semester so can't complain :)
I got a 77, 74 and 73... so close to a D average :(
but smeh... I finished the two hour midsem for the 73 in 7 minutes and the 3 hour final in 15, so fair enough :P
#multiking
Killed my 1 maths unit for the year with a 90 (same as my only maths unit last year haha).
Got a Distinction for Operating Systems, somehow, seeing as I only just passed the assignments. Worked out I got like 95% in the exam haha.
Other two units were Credits, and worked out I got like 51% in one of the exams haha.
Actually, a positive from this semester, got a new highest eng mark :D now tied with maths (90) and only beaten by linguistics (94)
Pretty happy with the units I've selected for next year: Introduction to Recreation, Managing Recreation Services and Facilities, Sport and Leisure Economics and Finance, Sport and Leisure Law, Sport Venues and Events, Sport Business Planning, Sport Business Planning, and Marketing Strategy, two of them off-campus. Haven't got my exam results back yet tho :/
just got back my withheld marks! passed with a C!
I finished year 11 two and a half weeks ago and still no report :o

What books did you study Nige?
We did heaps of readings because the unit was called Writing the City so there were like three main themes that revolved around and related back to the city.
Half the content was poems though, like Ozymandias and Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
Books covered included The Trick is to Keep Breathing by Janice Galloway, In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens.

It's weird. I've found in Uni that whenever we've have to quickly introduce ourselves it's actually a lot more difficult to do it.
Had to write a journal entry about our relationship with the city for Lit and surprisingly struggled.

Big question to answer in 400 words and if you don't want to open up, stick to general stuff. So "who are you" can be just things people/you describe yourself (e.g. Nationality, sporty, bubbly, introvert, emotional, etc). Can explains why in some cases if you wanted to. As for where you belong, can talk about family, friends, culture, clubs, school, any place you feel like you're apart of something bigger, or none at all if you feel like that. Don't have to go into specifics, only for things you feel comfortable with (e.g. I'm an animal person because I own three birds that live in my room and have had like 10+ birds over the past decade.

So I have to write a 400 word reflective piece on "Who am I and where do I belong". Not sure why but I really feel uncomfortable about 'opening up'. Any ideas on how to get started?
For the belonging part just quote the lyrics of Down Under by Men at Work ;)

It's alright, won't get my first preference though, will fall just short when you chuck in the bonus points Adelaide Uni give me. :(

Congrats PB that's a very good rank!!
ATAR day, and unlike many others I'm waiting for the mail to come rather than check online.

Yeah awesome stuff PB, that's a great score, well done! :)
Good luck Tom!
Nice score PB! Still put it down as your first preference and hope somehow get in! :D
Good luck Tomi and others who received it this week! Hopefully get scores you're happy with :).
What was your first preference PB?
Mathematical Sciences (Advanced) at Adelaide Uni. Needed 95 or more, bonus points get me to 93.40. Second preference is just Mathematical Sciences, which needs 80 or more, so I pass that easily. Differences are I get a private mentor and do some extra work in the advanced course, but the one I'm doing is still credible enough :)
Just wondering, what kind of a job would that degree get you?

According to the university guide: "Graduates may find employment in industry and commerce, government, public service, teaching and research."
But to me, I am hoping to find something that is sports related, as I plan to specialize in statistics.
Bugs me a bit when people get really good scores and then aren't happy (as someone who got an ordinary ATAR in comparison to most that I know of).
Maybe I have an issue with having the bar set low or being a constant underachiever, but I've learned it really is just a number and regardless of how high or low it is, and you can still easily go on to do whatever you really want.

How do you judge what a 'good' score is? What might be a 'good' score to me might be a bad score to another person, or vice versa - it's all relative. If I set a goal of achieving a 98 atar, and then only get a 95, then I've failed. While it might be a great score to others, I still haven't reached my goal.
It might be 'just a number', but that shouldn't cause you to feel complacent about it.

If you'd gotten like a 50 you probably would have been disappointed, but for some people that would have been an amazing mark.
It's all based on your ability and expectations- if you get the mark you needed for whatever you want to do then you really shouldn't be disappointed.
Yeah agree with this ^ a 50 still means you're better academically than 50% of the population, and even then Nige I know you're a smart bloke who knows his important stuff like tv and sports stuff

I used to want to work in that field when I was younger, that used to be my dream job too haha, but gradually the appeal of numbers has worn off I think and I've gone down a different path, did some stats in the commerce component of my degree this year, still very interested in sports stats.
How did you guys decide on a particular degree/career to pursue? I've been trying to figure out what I want to do but am struggling a bit. The course that interests me the most is a commerce/engineering double degree, but I don't really see myself working as an engineer.

Like sport
Like management
= sport management
I was interested in teaching, but that idea kinda fizzled out after a bit.
Found out that Arts was a pretty wide course and that I could do a wide range of units so I decided to give that a go (since I got the offer for it before the teaching one). Did well is Bus Man in Year 12 and Business Studies was a unit in the Arts degree so picked that out, enjoyed it and decided to make it my major.

Well, I've picked the HRM (human resource management) side of things, so I think a career in HR would be a possibility, but I'm thinking I could maybe do teaching after that and then maybe even be a Bus Man teacher myself or something. :P

I have no idea for myself when I was at your stage and still no idea now in the last year of my degree. Was tempted with Sports Jounalism, Science, Law, Psychology and many things. I recommend a double degree though! I'm doing Arts/Economics double just because the idea of working in other fields kinda didn't appeal to me and I enjoy Economics and enjoy Psychology (which I'm majoring in Arts, but also tried out other stuff within there). I still am not sure what to do, but by the end of the year, I'll have between two pathways to follow. As I can't see myself in an office work but I've got that option incase I do need to make a career out of it.
If you're interested in Commerce/Engineering, go for it! If you find that one or both aren't to your taste, can change out of it and try something different, or follow the one you prefer. I'd probably choose something you'd actually enjoy studying and learning about, otherwise you'll lose interest in it pretty fast.
just remember Engineering is really popular and thus competitive

Psssh, has nothing on my Psychology or Criminology classes. Think the Girl:Guy ratio in my Crim classes were like 6:1 and in Psych was a modest like 4:1.
And yet I am still single :(.
ACU in general has a ridiculous girl:guy ratio. Pretty much every unit has a substantially large amount of girls to guys.

Cheers Biebs - I've been doing a bit more research today and I think I'll stick with the Commerce/Engineering idea. There seems to be a few careers that I could go in to, and it's not like I'd have to decide on one in particular until a few years into the degree. One question about double degrees though, if I do a commerce degree first, then complete the engineering degree in the next 2 years, can I then be employed as an (insert random job e.g. Investment banker) even though I haven't studied commerce for two years?

Didn't take into account commerce lol, just looking out for my fellow forum members 8)
I don't even know if ACU has Criminology tbh haha, but there are plenty of courses and females to choose from anyway. ;)
Competitive probably means in job prospects though. If you were a girl Big Mac, and get good grades and have a nice resume, companies would be all over you most of the time. How my friend is working with the Defence force this holidays :P.
For the double bit, could do subjects like that but preferably mix 1-2 Com units with Eng units. Com tend to be less in-semester assignments and stuff due compared to Eng so it's a tad more relaxing in that sense. But can be easy to let them slide, which you shouldn't. But if you complete one side of the degree first before the other, you don't get it until both are done anyway. Mainly because in a double degree doing less units altogether (for one side of the degree) than in a single degree, so technically wouldn't finish a full one ;). So pretty much complete both together to get it!
And plenty in Commerce ;). Think most of the ladies go into Finance/Accounting though, not too many in Economics :(.
By the way, just curious if you're planning on doing this at Monash Uni (Clayton)? :P

All seriousness though Melbourne Uni is a great place to go if you're not entirely sure what you want to do yet given that first year should let you see what options are available to you.

Yeah, ACU is the same in this regard.
For the Bachelor of Arts, they advise you to pick a range of units in first year to see what you like and if you want to continue the course, you pick your major at the end of first year. The alternative is transferring course after first year depending on what you did or liked.

nah like La Trobe or something, there's only 5,000 people going there
what do people think of having all of their classes online? La Trobe was estimating that the majority of their subjects will gradually move to online. personally I would rather face to face with lecturers.

I'm pretty sure you're at Clayton aren't you? I'm about to pick a major for Commerce, doing Com/Law, and I'm definitely leaning towards Economics at this stage, what are your thoughts on it as a major?
Yep, Doing Economics/Arts at Clayton. I like Economics as a major! Many different fields to study in Economics, but if you want a job as an Economist been told by many (lecturers as well as Holz) that should do some Econometrics units! Given the units on offer there is a range of stuff to do, but depends if you're drawn into it as it's not for everybody. I enjoy it alot as you can actually use Economics in life, so makes it even more interesting to me.
Lucky for the Commerce degree, can try a bit of everything first/second year and see what you like before actually deciding.

That's it, the world is becoming more technical and complex. In my opinion you can't survive with just good theory anymore you need technical experience in either maths or computers or both.
That's why I plan to go back and major in mathematics and computer science to actually get a job as an economist.
I've had some friends who've tried Computer Science, only to drop out after a year cause wasn't for them. If you don't enjoy it, will find it a tough time getting through it ;).
I did a Bachelor of Business at QUT.
Accounting as first major and Economics second major
Fair to say Accounting and Economics are polar opposites but its was the same as HP said about Monash, you do all the core subjects in the first year to get a grasp of everything before making a choice of what you wanted to focus on.
In relation to online lectures. All the lectures at QUT except for Taxation Law that I did were recorded and online within 24 hours of the lecture. So by my 4th year (last year) I didn't attend many lectures at all, went to all the tutes - you learned more in the tutes.

I know a little bit; I did work experience at an engineering firm where we went through the different branches of engineering, and then went through the different phases of a project and designed our own. My dad's also an engineer so that helps a fair bit (he's told me about the different jobs he's been on)

see, I always knew I didnt want to be an engineer. Then I picked up engineering as a second degree, and despite smashing it found it really boring, so dropped it :P
sometimes you should just trust your gut :P

so many people in my class that are like that! Something that looks like a good career path ends up sucking when you find out that the job actually entails-usually 2-3 into the uni course
flower you accounting, you can suck my dick.
Physics and Chem homework done. Working on Methods now

yeah, advice to all new uni students/ high schoolers... work out what you want to do early, because if you take like half a decade to figure it out when you're nearly finished your degree you make life very, very difficult for yourself

more advice: if you take a gap year theres an 80% chance you wont go back
Both of the above statements are very true.

I went back, it was pretty rough going though... don't regret it for a second, but if you're going into like a science/ engg degree, you better be prepared to back yourself in :P
I guess I can now confirm that I got into my uni course, but i knew I had done enough anyway :P

The teachers had to 'approve' of each letter before you gave it in - So just a bunch of sappy shower about how we're their friend and able to help them out with anything they need. Also encouraged them to get involved with either sports or music etc
Nice gesture I guess but the kids will obviously know it doesn't mean much when they realise each letter has the same two paragraphs at the start and end (we were only allowed to write the middle paragraph)

Ended up with the subject prize for physics last year so pretty happy with that :)
Got an early round offer last year which i deferred from La Trobe for Sports Journalism.
Hoping to get a Sports Management and Business offer either soon or just wait until next year.

First in, first served at like 6:30am or thereabouts isn't it? :P
They tell you when the available classes are then change them, and even when you're on at 8am when it opens you have to be quick.
Worked out what timetable I wanted last week, where I would only go in Monday-wed finishing at 12:30 for the week. To what I have now which is 16 hours of classes spread out over all 5 days. With 6 straight hours of classes on Monday NO BREAKS. :(
I had next to 0 flexibility with my timetable this year. 8 hours straight on Monday, finish at quarter past 7 :-\
7 hours a week over 2 days. 8)
I got it good :D 3 hours Monday morning, 3 hours Thursday morning, 3 hours Friday morning. Monday and Thursday at 9:30-12:30 so free for lunch dates while still getting to wake up late :3 8:30-11:30 on Friday, meh.
Only 4 more days of freedom tho :/
I've got 1pm-5pm on Wednesday afternoon and 9am-12pm on Friday morning.
We'll see how I go for four hours straight, haven't had that before, but I should cope since the tute from 2-3 will fly by.
I get another fun 21 hours a week, which isn't including the triple clash I have (for some absurd reason)

That's bad to hear, especially since have to go everyday. Not to mention what a way to kick off the week ;). Hopefully some people change subjects/drop out over first week or two so you can change timetable around possibly. What I do if I don't initially get the times I wanted.
Still have next week of holidays (as O-week for the jaffys) so I shall try to party as hard as I can for the rest of you guys :P.
What is 'O week'? I mean, I guess 'O' stands for orientation - but for a whole week?
Yep, Orientation week at Monash. So pretty much a week to show around the new students and for people to join clubs who have stalls opened all week long. Can also grab some free stuff and food ;).
So I need to write a speech about 'new beginnings' for next week.
What should I say? I have no idea, I need to give it to Year 7s and 10s.

I would love to do that, but my friend's club (she's VP for) is giving out free super-doopers instead of alcohol :(.

Might try that if I can cheers HP, not just an admin. ;)
I have 9am every day of the week. Only got 2 hours on Friday and 3 on Monday, with like 4 and 5 hours breaks from the first to the 2nd.
Avoided the Friday 4pm so I have Supercoach time ;)

Yeah mate I think so! Translations were involved too, 81% so I'm pretty happy! Indices is much tougher though!
What's your first sac then? All of the above plus some more? That'd be intense

I wish I lived in Sydney man, would take up your kind offer hahaha, have been looking around for a tutor! :(
Still getting screwed around by uni, since I'm transferring to a bachelor degree course after having completed my associate degree course we had to attend an enrollment information session. In that session they gave us heaps of information that I think they should have given us 2 years ago, and told us to re enroll in some 2nd year classes. This was easy enough as we changed to the correct classes.
Then this morning we had to do the timetabling for those new classes, in short it was a flowering nightmare. One course had all of the tutorials full even though enrolling in the course was easy. Another had a lecture class which clashed with a lecture for one of our 3rd year subjects. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

That's weird :o Our class starts indices in a few weeks
Wato and BM, what other subjects are you guys doing?
Yeah I might do the same thing Vin haha, might help because I do drop a lot of easy marks too, and I hate it.

Nice dude, you enjoying Physics?
I don't want to sound like a prick but physics is ridiculously easy at the moment - So yeh, it's a bit of a bludge subject for me :P
Do you still get to use cheat sheets for Physics? My study literally consisted of writing a cheat sheet the night/at lunchtime/whatever before each SAC. Cruised through with Bs :P
Yeh we still get a cheat sheet 8) 8) In the exam too 8)
We got mid year exams though, a double sided cheat sheet for each one ;D
My Uni timetable comes out on Tuesday i think, I should be able to get Monday and Fridays off, so 4 day weekend :P. Tuesday would be hectic, 10-5 with like 1 hour break.
You thinking of doing physics Vin?

Still getting screwed around by uni, since I'm transferring to a bachelor degree course after having completed my associate degree course we had to attend an enrollment information session. In that session they gave us heaps of information that I think they should have given us 2 years ago, and told us to re enroll in some 2nd year classes. This was easy enough as we changed to the correct classes.
Then this morning we had to do the timetabling for those new classes, in short it was a flowering nightmare. One course had all of the tutorials full even though enrolling in the course was easy. Another had a lecture class which clashed with a lecture for one of our 3rd year subjects. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Ouch KC. That would suck especially as they told you what units to enrol in. Anyway you can change some units around (and do them like next semester or later)? If so, may be the way to go if got the clashes and classes are full. Otherwise got to contact unit coordinator to put you in a tute/lab.

At least I got a date after class on Monday :P
Something to look forward to ;). Another week off for me since orientation for the Jaffys :D :D :D. If anybody goes Monash or lives close by and wants a mini catch up in O-week, can hit me up :P.

The good thing to come out of it is that now it is clear what's going on for the rest of the course, but this semester is flowered. The guy running one of the classes said its impossible to do anything about the lecture clash so I'll have to leave halfway through to go to the next one and ask them to record it if they can. No news about the tutorial that's full although there are heaps of us wanting to get in so hopefully they can do something about it when I go to orientation.
If a heap want in, they'd probably have to make a new class I guess. Guess have to clash the lecture, you'll survive as I've had a friend who had a triple clash and a few get that some semesters. Just got to both, and if you learn more in one than the other, just stick it out there.
At least rest of the time is sorted after this semester :P.

flower being sneaky. I walked into a linguistics lecture blind drunk with a beer in each hand once. Of course, I forgot that arts students are a little less unclassy than engineering students and didn't get the kindest of looks. I don't remember learning anything that class but I do recall getting my laptop out and playing Miniclip Mini Golf the whole time.

Tutorials/Labs though? Mine sometimes have an attendance requirement, sometimes don't.
One of my units had an unofficial attendance requirement. A week before the final exam the lecturer called me and said attending 2 classes out of 13 wasn't going to allow me to have enough knowledge to pass. Scraped a 55. #thuglyfe

Pretty common for universities these days, but some tutorials/practicals I've done have attendance marks for them.
I know people who have failed on the attendance requirement.
I mean you should attend like tutorials and labs/pracs and shower like that but the vast majority of courses don't make it manditory for you to actually attend lectures
If I didn't attend lectures, I'd be at Uni three hours a week this semester.
The reason I attend lectures is because it takes me an hour to get in and then the same back home again, so I'd basically be travelling two hours for a 50 minute class, which I feel is kind of pointless.
That and ACU doesn't record shower and some lecturers only have basic slideshows so you miss basically all the content by not going.
Yeah, went to a 9am tutorial this morning, which sucked because I was up late last night...

Got my first assignment of the year due next week. It's a group assignment. Gotta do a group report and presentation on a case study from the textbook which I don't have, so I'm currently borrowing from the Uni library on a 7 day loan. The good bit is that the group is actually good for once, the bad thing is that they seem pretty serious about it and I'm afraid I may let the team down with my efforts in the report. The presentation is much more my forte.

Well, it's kind of both. Like, it is good in the sense that they're intent on doing well and the group we've already worked together well so far, but usually I'm the one running the show as far as Uni groups are concerned. This time I'm looking like the slacker of the group who needs to be carried. It's bad because it means I'm gonna have to step up my game to actually match the quality of my fellow group members, though honestly I am happy about that.
Not sure that made a lot of sense, but yeah. :P
So I haven't really done shower on my part of the group report, I really need to get it done at some point today.
4 subjects, 0 assignments this semester, lol. Just a few online tests, a couple actual tests. The least the end of year exam is worth is 60%, for a subject it's 100%.
I don't think you want to fail that exam Henry :P.

Yeah, I was just talking to somebody about this stuff.
Didn't have breakfast, so I'll probs just wait until 1pm and then eat lunch. After that I'll just break down what I have to do and once I achieve each increment I'll take a quick break and pump out the next bit, usually works.
I think my problem is that I haven't done academic shower in six months and the routine/rhythm isn't there. Plus I think I'm also just second guessing what I'm gonna write, because even there's no right or wrong answer to what I'm doing, I'm scared it's not gonna be the right thing (it's a part of a group report, so I'm worried they won't agree).

How does something like that even get marked?
Can someone's reflections be wrong?
No idea to be honest, but you can't be "wrong" in your piece as it's about yourself. I know it's how you write it but so subjective.
I've had to do reflexive pieces before, which was when you read something, discuss it and also on how you personally felt about it. Fair to say when I did that Anthropology unit, almost everybody was lost on how it would be marked.

It's actually for Business hahaha.
1000 words is honestly too little for a group report considering how much you're required to do.
This group has actually been really good, that's a first for Uni. They wanted to meet today, but I gave an excuse because I didn't wanna go in on my day off, plus it was then established that we couldn't meet because their class times made scheduling a meetup impossible.
Now have to be there at 9am tomorrow to meet them which is 4 hours before our class. Also have 4 hours of class after that, but I think I'll skip the lecture because that's too flowering long a day. :-X
Presentation tomorrow. Haven't really got cue cards or anything because we haven't really discussed the presentation, all effort went towards the report and we never delegated parts of the presentation to work on. Plus I also haven't finished the Prezi for it, but since they want me in at 9am and class is at 1pm, I'm just gonna work on it tomorrow.
Basically going to have to wing it without notes to glance at, we'll see how that goes.

Come on, Nigey boy. Stop winging things and start working hard. You'll be happier for it :)
Was speaking to a guy from my school that did physics last year
Reckons he spent about half an hour a month studying and only did 6 practice exams - still got a 38
Pretty good confidence boost haha
Fairly sure it went well! 8)
Haven't dropped below 78% in 9 sacs so far (4 for chem), quite happy with that!

Cheers Mac, that Chem score is unreal too, I'd be super proud of that! ;)
Yeah I know (4 for chem, 2 for bio, 1 for PE, 1 for Methods and 1 for English)
That's so strange though that you've only done 3 sacs.. I have three on Monday/Tuesday as well as the 9 I've done already??

Schools obviously all do it differently but that is still a crazy amount of SAC's for Chem.
I have another 2 in total before the end of term.

Just wait.
You don't exactly get homework, but you'll be hit with a showerload of assignments eventually. :P
In other news, my weekly test scores for my boring core subject are getting progressively worse.
8/10 the first week, 6/10 the second week and 4/10 last week.
The weird bit is that I didn't do the reading the first week but increased the emphasis on study the past two weeks for worse results.
I feel like I shouldn't study this week. :-X
Trying to find a space to study is tough too. I just spent 5 minutes on one floor of the library and eventually found this one spare desk. Trouble is, I think I'm lost now, all I see is row upon row of books.

Haha, the library is a nightmare. People just park themselves there to sleep or even socialise. I barely explored the library for the first year and a half hahaha, just stayed in one section.
I've been in the library like 3 times, currently in my third year haha

But you do like computer stuff and have a car which can get you home in like 15 mins, you have no reason to be in the library haha.
I'm in the library/elab like 90% of the time I'm on campus
So often I'll get to uni and be like nah cbf going to the lecture so I'll buy some chips and gravy and read the lecture notes then flower around
But later on it's good because I can actually buckle down and do some assignments on campus without the stresses of everything I have at home *cough cough* video games *cough cough*
So one of the other classes average for the non calc methods test we just did was 6/30

He's been at the school for a while so I doubt it, starting to make me think that those kinds of results are normal :o
Apparently he told his class at the start of the year that "no one in here will get a study score above 35"

Having shower students for one class doesn't make a bad teacher
Like I got a D in year 12 maths (took the hardest class) with exam scores of 27, 38 and 40 but I don't blame my teacher at all, it was my fault for punching above my weight then not trying to get better. He was a good bloke too.
Similarly, in year 10 science we had one test where I scored 40% and was 5th in the class, felt good.
Last year in maths my friend got an A for the knowledge and understanding part of the test and a D for the Thinking and Reasoning part. That D was the highest mark anyone got in that class for that part of the test. Teacher got sacked apparently the next term (Think it was for perving on a year 8 girl though).
20% is a fail though, and requires a resit? Surely that raises the alarm, that nearly everyone in the class will have to resit, so you begin to question the teacher and his methods?
If he's saying nobody will get above 35, what does that tell you? Why are your methods exams so tough then?

Depends on the subject I think? When I did Spesh, I don't recall anyone having to resit a SAC, and there were
a lot of people who got <40% on SACs :P

Don't think anyone will be re-sitting it
Wasn't a hard test either - So apparently results like that are normal? Just seems odd

It sounds like he got the dud class and knows it. A 35 unscaled is not that difficult in Methods. I completely missed a 20 mark question on my exam and still got a 36

They won't resit, it just means they will have a really crappy mark come the end of the year on the SAC portion of their enter score which only makes up a small percentage in Methods anyway.

Yup, same here, when I did spesh a few got under 40% but it takes into calculation all your SACS (which also make up a small portion of the mark) at the end of the year. It also grades on a curve, if everyone gets 20% then 20% becomes the high mark of the class, it is pretty stupid but being in the hopeless class has it's advantages
I also have a story on a dud teacher regarding methods that got sacked not long after
I pretty much aced my maths tests and exams in year 10, I think my average mark was mid 90's. It was mandatory in year 11 to do both General Maths and Methods, especially if you intended on doing Specialist in year 12 but I was granted an exception because my teacher thought I didn't need it.
So now in year 11 I am doing Methods with a new teacher. She goes on holidays pretty early in the year and we have an average teacher to start the term. 1 of the tests with him teaching I got 100 on the test and the other was also pretty good. The teacher that was supposed to be taking the class comes back and she is all over the place. She doesn't explain things, when we ask questions she would say "I already explained that" not go over anything again and was useless when asking for help. I was generally able to teach myself reading the book but once you got to certain sacks it became difficult when you were unsure how to actually apply what you were reading. My test marks were generally 80's so they were still pretty good
We took a SAC just before mid year parent teacher interviews. I was away for a music comp for 3 days as they were going down, I get back and hear that it almost ended in a huge argument. My dad got there early and could hear sort of what was going on with all the previous interviews. My teacher was giving the same speech to every parent, "X shouldn't be doing methods, they aren't good enough to be in the class, they should consider not doing maths next year, blah blah blah." It came to the interview about me and she started doing the same thing, she showed him my last SAC which was a 60% and told him I was failing the class. My parents were ready to call her a f'ing idiot and walk out of there because she had no idea what the F is going on. The 60% was actually one of the better scores in the class and all my other tests were over 80%. When I got back my parents asked me what was going on and if I knew if I was failing. I told them that was BS and my parents ended up complaining to the school because she was ripping into students that were actually doing fine. It turns out they weren't the only ones
It gets to the end of the year, my marks are still generally good, I end up getting a tutor since she didn't explain crap and generally found most of the class was her arguing with students. 12 months later she isn't at the school anymore
So I had to submit my forms for a prac placement for uni on the 16th (a Monday)
Was going to ring up places on the Friday before, but was told on the Thursday that we were given a 2-week extension
So I still haven't done anything about it, probably should ring today...nah I'll probs wait until Friday
Now this is procrastination

You'll be alright, just the panic setting in probably. Start with going through all your units one by one and write down the due dates for things (e.g. tests, assignments, essays, etc). Once you got all of that down, then you can start seeing what you should focus on first.
If you're behind on notes and lectures, you'll know what your worst unit/s are, so may have to dedicate some days to them if you time manage properly ;). May also mean less time to socialise just until you get back on top things!
I'm slack when it comes to staying on top of things, so dedicating today and tomorrow catching up with two subjects (and like 14 hours of lectures I ditched for both those subjects)

Have you become friends with anyone in your course? First year uni for me I had 2 of my high school mates doing the same units, and so it was really easy. Then 2nd year they had different stuff to me, and I struggled big time. Just being able to have mates you can talk to about work and stuff makes a massive difference imo.
Also, when it comes to the work you gotta do, as HP said see when everything is due, and the weighting of those assessments as well. And make sure you attend all tutes and labs, unless you really aren't able to go due to assignments being due or otherwise. Lectures you can miss in order to finish off work and stuff, but probably try to catch up ASAP. In saying this, I usually end up about 5+ weeks behind in lectures for most units by the end of the semester hahaha :P
First proper uni assignment due tonight 11pm... Started tonight...
I'm open from 9-5 if anyone wants tips on how to manage uni life :P

That's actually a lot like me - had my best mate and another mate in my classes last year, then one dropped out and the other switched courses so this year I'm going to no classes because I know like two guys in my course and only have classes with one of them. Gotta go to class to meet people but don't want to go to class because don't know anybody :P unsure about how I'll perform differently, but I felt good about my first assessment (test) and been taking my notes.
You guys reckon I could fake my prac placement? Forms don't need a signature just contact details, I could totally just write down a fake name+position+email and my phone number and if she contacts pretend I'm somebody else, that could definitely work. Like when George pretended to be interviewing for Vandelay Industries, just gotta not let Kramer answer my phone :P

I've started many assignments the day they were due. I never failed anything so I kept continued doing it for half of them.
As for Lectures, I only really attend my Eco ones if I learn in them, have friends in them or they aren't before like 12pm :P. I rarely have attended any Psych lectures since my first year (three years ago), and the lowest I've received for a Psych related subject has been 76 after 6 units :D. If I actually tried in them rather than procrastinate/bludge reckon I could have lifted that to HD minimum.
So I was supposed to go to class from 9:30-12:30 today
Woke up at 12:24 :P looks like I'm not going I guess
At least it gives me time to finish off my assignment
I had one 9am lecture today. Stars have aligned and i have the weekend for only Supercoach

3 methods trial exams done finally!
Each one took about 5 hours :'(
Just did my first report for uni (3rd year now), with referencing. I hate this shower haha. Hopefully don't have to do another one :P Probably will though
2 language analyses, oral presentation to rehearse, 4 practice chem tests and a couple spesh worksheets
Let's do this!
Into the mid-semester break, been a big few weeks! Couple of mates have already dropped out but that's pretty normal for first years.
The transition from school to Uni hasn't been as bad as I expected it to be either.
As I said to a couple of guys on chat, did the math (incredibly easy math, mind you) and figured that in the first 6-7 (can't remember which) weeks of this semester I've dated more girls than attended classes :P
5 vs 3, and I only attended one of those classes because of a test :P have to go to two this week tho so it'll even up, but I do have another girl on my radar so who knows :3

What and where are you studying Tom?
So I had to do an online test today, it's 25% of my unit so was thinking it'd be hard, but my lecturer had copied a lot of questions from other people's tests, so just googling the questions gave you the right answer for a lot of them :P didn't even need my notes or lecture slides!
Scored 80% (32/40), would've scored higher but rushed it so I could play some video games after :3 took up under half the time given. But it's still a HD so I'm happy :P

Need to start and finish an assignment due next Wednesday, whelp.
So tired, have had mooting and heaps of midsems and just other stuff in general on last couple of weeks, and barely had any sleep. Have now only got one group presentation on thursday which is 10%, and then practically nothing (only a coupla 5% tests) until exams :). Now I have to catch up all the stuff I missed over the last couple of weeks lol.
3 assignments, 2 tests and an exam (in a pear tree) to go for me this semester
5 weeks to do the assignments (all due week 13), have an inkling that I'll be scrambling to do them all on deadline instead of starting now like a responsible adult :3
Turns out I had a couple of due dates wrong. They're due later than I though they were, I guess that's better than earlier.
Regardless, I need make sure I don't leave them last minute. :-X

This current assignment I have is for an Economics subject, but I am getting help from my friends in Science and Engineering for it (cause Maths) :P.
"Liam
Can you please see me after class this Friday to discuss referencing for Assignment 1.

I have a feeling this isn't going to be me getting praise for great referencing...I know I didn't plagiarise at all tho, so maybe it's just a trick to get me to come to class for once :P
On turnitin I got 28%, but I'm fairly sure a lot of that is because I submitted it with my uni's cover page
Sorry miss/sir, you'll have to see me some other time as I haven't been going in to class.
I have a runescape clan you can join to reach me in the meantime. The name is "$swagmoneypl0x"
Thanks - Bane
Done the intro of my essay, not sure whether to do the first paragraph today as well, depends how well I'm focusing.
Not looking forward to the referencing, I'll lose marks there for sure so I have to make sure the essay itself is pretty solid.
Referencing sucks shower haha. I've spent more time on my annotated bibliography than I have on my actual essay.

I can't math.
I tried divide up my essay so that I didn't breach the max word limit of 1500 and I've somehow got to 1438 before I've even put in quotes and done the conclusion, even though I've constantly been checking the word count.
Pruning should be fun.

They generally don't look favourably on breaches of the word limit. I could probably get away with like maybe 100 over, but 500 over? Highly unlikely.
I've basically bullshowerted my way through the whole thing (well, some of it), so cutting out some of the bullshower shouldn't be too much of an issue since half of what I've said is probably irrelevant. :P

Yeah, exactly. This is one of those.
I have to add in quotes and references before submitting it by 4pm (the deadline), this should be fun. Need to use at least 6 post-2005 academic journals or something, so I'll probably find at least 6 plus chuck the textbook in there as a reference too and be done with it. :P
So I used the database available with Uni for the first time since first year and some of the academic journals available have links to cite them so I didn't have to do it myself. :P
Here's hoping it goes well. I think the actual essay isn't too bad, even though there is some bullshower in there. I'm just worried about the referencing.
Okay, it's submitted. Now not to think about it until I get the mark back. :P
I find referencing pretty easy, just annoying if anything haha. I reference when I procrastinate actual writing up the essay. And you're done Nige, right way to just let it go until you get your marks back!

Alright guys, i've spent about 40 minutes trying to explain this to my sister, but she still doesn't get it.
To find the y-intercept of a graph, why do you let x=0?
I've drawn a cartestian plane, got her to point out to me which is the x-axis, and which is the y-axis. Then I pick a bunch of points along the y-axis, and ask for the co-ordinates of each of them. I ask what all these points have in common, which she responds with "x is zero for all of them and all points intercept/touch the y-axis". Logical conclusion surely is that to find the y-intercept, you let x=0. But she still doesn't get it. Anyone got a different way of explaining it?

Haha not sure if there's any better way to explain it :P
Maybe like, the y-int is when a point on the line is touching the y-axis. So can you find any point where x isn't zero that touches the y-axis? If no, then x must be zero to find the y-int.
All effectively the same thing though.
y-intercept is the point at which the graph cuts the y-axis. The graph will cut the y-axis when x = 0.

Alright guys, i've spent about 40 minutes trying to explain this to my sister, but she still doesn't get it.
To find the y-intercept of a graph, why do you let x=0?
I've drawn a cartestian plane, got her to point out to me which is the x-axis, and which is the y-axis. Then I pick a bunch of points along the y-axis, and ask for the co-ordinates of each of them. I ask what all these points have in common, which she responds with "x is zero for all of them and all points intercept/touch the y-axis". Logical conclusion surely is that to find the y-intercept, you let x=0. But she still doesn't get it. Anyone got a different way of explaining it?
Haha not sure if there's any better way to explain it :P

I'll try anything at this point cheers GL, hopefully going backwards might work
I'll try again tomorrow night I guess - Scary thing is, she's in the advanced maths class. She still can't understand it though (year 9)

Try show x=1, x=-1, x=2, x=-2 lines on a graph so that she can see that x=0 at that particular point?
Does she know that the vertical line is x=0 all along it? I used to think that x was only equal to zero at the origin so that might help, then again I think she'd have me pretty comfortably covered in the maths department :-[

Big Mac, Year 9 maths is the worst, or it was for me a least. Got A's all through year 8 the. They put me in the top maths class and I almost failed semester 1 maths :-\ The Y intercept thing is about the only thing I understood that year :-X. Managed to get a B by the end of the year though.
Managing a bit better this year though :)
We played UNO and Blackjack in Year 9 Maths.
I liked Year 9 Maths.
I remember year 9 maths. That year we had one teacher who didn't like me, she left then we got a new teacher who liked me but he didn't like most of the class. I ended up having to teach like half the class concepts cause they couldn't understand him (and his style of teacher, which was basically a Uni lecturer, but one who doesn't answer questions or help you). Fair to say, we didn't even cover the Trigonometry chapters properly (1 week for like 3 chapters, which was alot back then) and that was 1/3 of the final exam, which I was the only one in our class to pass...
Great year of maths that one :P.
Alright - I think she understands how to draw graphs now haha. Just spent another hour trying to explain fractions and surds though...
On another note, my English teacher is a complete spud. Beyond retarded. I wish I could point out everything he does wrong, but I just know he would hate me for it and I don't exactly want someone that hates me marking my SAC's.
I think he's been incredibly biased when marking our oral presentations though. Really tempted to have a chat to him about it, although not sure it would be the best idea....

Fractions and surds...yuk
I was really good at maths (and relatively speaking, still am)... I remember when we got taught surds though- we were just taught so showerhouse, took me forever to learn them, and when I got them I was so pissed off because they were so easy.
God reading all this has made me glad I never have to do high school maths again, absolutely hated it (still did pretty well though until year 12, As in year 8-10 Bs in year 11 then Ds in year 12 because I was punching above my weight in the highest class and didn't have the work ethic to get better). Trig calc geometry no more!
I relatively like and am hell good at simple numbers tho, scored a 48 on the Wonderlic which is just 50 relatively simple number-based questions in 12 minutes, indicating an IQ of 156 which is alright I guess :P

Don't do it. I did it and suffered. Ended up getting SACs externally marked but the teacher still has a lot of control over the mark she gives and the best anyway can do if your teacher screws you over, is increase your mark by a single letter grade.
Since your SACS are worth 50% of your English grade, it helps a lot sucking up to your teacher and not pissing them off

What did you do to get your SAC's externally marked :o Sounds pretty extreme haha never heard of that before
Yeh I wasn't going to go too overboard with it. Just would've pointed out that I did this this and this, this other guy did that and completely stuffed up this, how did he end up with a higher mark? And coincidentally, why do you also spend time with him after school? (Probably wouldn't say the last bit but it irks me to no end - Teachers and students surely shouldn't have relationships like that? Platonic obviously)

I pointed out that I got a 5 and a very weak student got a perfect 10 and that I had included everything that she had and more. So my teacher took my paper (I followed) into another english teachers class room, read out the intro to her and after every sentence would say what was wrong with it, followed by "dont you agree mrs x" so that the other teacher was forced to agree. Then when she finished her whole charade, I told her that I had directly copied the opening paragraph of a student who got 50 last year and the premier award for english...she stuck by what she said but then it went under a formal review and we got them externally marked. The damage was done though because she had marked 3 of my SACS and I had received near the lowest grade (which made no sense whatsoever). When my GAT results came back and said I got a mark of 48 for English, I got a call from VCAT (is that their name?) asking why my SACS were low compared for my GAT. I explained the situation and they said they could only just raise my mark by one letter grade as that was the max they could do and that was that.
Basically don't piss them off because they still have power at the end of the day :s
PS Our class got one of the lowest average english score my school has ever had... I wonder why!

That sounds pretty extreme indeed Spite :o. But yeah, better to stay safe and not piss off the person marking your papers. Given I was nice and a good student but still averaged like Cs in my Sacs for English in VCE cause I had a tougher marker than other classes, not many of our class got As for them. Come exam time guess the harsh marking worked, but as Spite said, it can only boost your internals by so much (A+ on exam boosted my C-grade Sacs to B+ iirc). So better not to try and correct your teacher/marker if you think it may hinder your future Sac results.
Btw, did anybody ever bring you up on plagarism Spite since you said you copied the introduction yourself on a Sac?
The above HP sounds like my Year 9 maths class in 2006 - my last year in Melbourne.
My form teacher was also my Maths teacher. He was probably one of the best teachers I had. The majority of the rest of the class couldn't give a shower about being at the school, so when I needed help I got quite a bit of assistance and he loved his footy so we always chatted about that.
Anyway most of the rest of the class who couldn't give a shower failed and I got academic excellence.
Treat your teachers with respect (even if you hate them) and they will give you better marks and treat you with respect.

Easiest way to go about it is to have the chat with the teacher and just ask how you can improve your grade. Just ask them for some feedback, there is no harm in that.

I don't think I had ever heard of plagarism before uni. Most private schools pretty much "give" us essays to learn off by heart and we basically re produce them in the exam to get a good grade. #education
Hahaha, awesome AK! Yeah some teachers were great back in high school and were happy to help and chat. Although I treated teachers with respect, but sometimes didn't reflect in my marks (Straight C student for first 3 years, probably because my attendance was like below 67% a year).

This
I've only done 2 assignments so far :P 3 tests also tho
That leaves 3 assignments, a test and an exam to go, should start them now but will probably wait until deadline haha
Might skip class on Thursday but go to uni so I actually get stuff done :P

I think I've had just the 4 assignments and a mid-sem so far. Currently have 2 more assignments to do, and will be getting another end of this week and one more this week or next. Fun times ahead.
And obviously I won't start them until there's 2-3 days left.
Then 4 exams as always :-X
Only got 1 like 5% online quiz multi choice thingy till exams. Not working as much this semester has meant i'm actually not to bad, like 2 weeks behind in two subjects, and then like 5 weeks behind in the other 2, which being week 9 i reckon isn't too bad at all :P
Final week for one my units this semester.
We've been having multiple choice tests every week for it which have been out of 10 and worth 5% and I haven't really been studying and I've still been doing fairly well.
8, 6, 4, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6 so far.
This week we have a short answer test which is 20 marks and worth 10%, should be a good test to see how much I know.

"WARNING: This is a summary of the entire unit and will require a minimum of 60 hours work. You should be working on this from week 2."

Bloody RMIT, they send me a letter marked as Important respond urgently, thinking it's a fee muck up turns out to be a survey.
For this one essay it has a 3000 word limit, what would the minimum probably be about? Like would it be the -10% rule so 2700 or more like 2000 or 2500?
You might get away with 2500, but 2700 makes more sense.

To be safe, keep it at about 10% leeway if you don't want to write that much. As if you go 2000, may not be enough in there (even if you cover all your points). Could probably get away with 2500 though if you're lazy, as most of those type of essays don't specify a minimum count :P.
Finished up with 2460 (excluding references), good enough imho :P
I'm sure he won't care too much as long as it's between 2250-3000.
Also pretty amazed that I finished an assignment a whole 4 days before it's due :o
Tbh, if he's like most of my tutors, he'll mark you up for giving him less work to read/mark thus making his job easier :P
So the chick that was doing the other half of the Mad Max presentation has apparently deferred from Uni and I only just found out. I think there are others doing Mad Max as well from my class, but I don't know who and if they're doing the same part. I guess I'll just focus on my bit and rock up and do my bit and hope somebody else is doing the other half. At least we're being marked independently even though multiple people are doing the same film.
Week 11 and it's the first time I've gone to one of the lectures for one of my units :X

I've kinda finished it. I say kinda because I noticed just after I finished the essay that were like more pages of the case study document that I hadn't read which were kinda important. However, what I wrote was fairly similar anyway (this is in part because the perspectives I need to use for my paragraphs were pretty obvious and they're just worded different in the case study), so I realised that rewriting part of my intro, conclusion and the topic sentences of my paragraphs will work. Crisis averted. Should have done by the time the coverage of the Tiges game starts. 8)
Nice Nige! Learnt from the past to not leave everything to the last moment :P. And just a minor hiccup then since you had everything down already.
I severely lack motivation to start this essay (Due tomorrow at 4pm), because the prep for it was an online lab that discussed part of what we need to do for the essay, but didn't really cover anything... Doesn't help when these assignments are scaled for the subject to distinguish those who are better suited to Honours (in Psychology), where they make the means for each class at like 6. So for our last assignment (Lab Report), the mean ended up being like 5.5 or something, which makes no sense as they have other assessments that are not scaled. So it's like pointless to scale people on certain things ::).
Either way, it's been a while since I've done an essay the day it's due (Like 2 years pretty sure). I'm stressed but I can crack it out since already found all the resources and skim read some :P. I just need those and makes my night all the easier 8).

A gif was to Reddit today captioned: BSing an essay the night before its due.
This was it:

Well you become pretty going at BSing things after a while. I've had to BS some pretty whacky reasons for things occurring in my economics/econometric subjects (Best example is owning a bike leads to having more children based on stats), so this was easy :P.
Got through my 2000 word essay tonight, now just to work on formatting/references which is easy, and possibly add a few things here and there for the essay question. Then I can sleep for a while :D.
Or watch a movie.
Only one more part (out of three total) for my economics and finance assignment to go :D 7 paragraphs, mostly containing content I've covered in the other parts, and a budget in excel, so not that much. It's due next week Thursday but will try and crack it out tonight.

Only one more part (out of three total) for my economics and finance assignment to go :D 7 paragraphs, mostly containing content I've covered in the other parts, and a budget in excel, so not that much. It's due next week Thursday but will try and crack it out tonight.

Ahh okay - So not a write-up on The Wolf of Wall Street?
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to leave my 2000 word essay basically till the last day... it was due at 2pm. So I woke up early and started writing at 9.30, and got it done at 1.30.
Always found it ironic that the topic I was writing about was the Rational Decision Making Model... probably why I only passed it haha

enjoy your all-nighters :P
looking like I won't have to do any for my current assignment, already cranked out 4000 words in under 2 days and am most of the way through :') 60 hours and starting in week 2 my ass
The next two weeks will be hell. Into hibernation we go.
Catch y'all xx.
Aaaaaand done :D I thought I'd be scrambling Thursday night to submit it, but managed to do it all in under 2 days :P 60 hours of work and working on it since week 2 my ass
6,815 words and 24 pages, including references, contents and a cover page. Not bad.
So I'm a little flowered right now.
Got an assignment due Friday which I was going to smash out today because it's only 800 words.
However, we had to post it on a site our tutor specifically created for the assessment. It's Wordpress based and I've got an account and can't log in to it, others also had this problem so she created a Turnitin link on the LEO (the ACU student website thingo). The problem is that to submit it to LEO I'm going to have to type it in a Word doc.
I've made no secret about the troubles I've been having with my laptop recently and it's gotten even worse today. My laptop runs Windows 8, so to those familiar and unfamiliar with it, on the far right a menu with several options generally slides in from the side but that's not loading and doing so like it usually does so I can't access Word through there. The Windows button on my laptop keyboard doesn't work either, but when it does I access the menu through there but then my laptop freezes before I can scroll right and open Word.
I can't even restart my laptop either, it's driving me insane.
Just go to uni and use a computer there. Ezpz.

Spend three hours going to Uni and coming back for a silly 800 word assignment? Not a chance. :P
Managed to finally restart my laptop which seems to have worked, dodged a bullet. 8)

Oh, I worded that badly.
It takes like anywhere between 60-90 mins to get to Uni depending on the times of the bus and train. When I said three hours, that's combined travel time to and from, not one way. :P
Should have gone to your local library and do it if it didn't work. Think you live fairly close to one Nige :P.

Eh, could have used Mum's desktop. Didn't need it in the end.
Smashed the 800 words out in about an hour this morning, was too easy.
4 SAC's and an exam next week
:(
1500 word essay to do by Monday, should be fun.
Gotta compare and contrast two films (probs choosing The Shining and Taxi Driver) in regards to a bunch of films elements or something. I should probably check that. :P
I have my first (and only) exam on Monday :/ sport flowering law, can't wait
At least he said that it's easier than the last assignment (and I scored a half-assed 60 on that), so will probably just read through all the lectures tomorrow night then cram in the revision slides Monday morning
At least I can get it over and done with early so I can have some free time to concentrate on my dating game :P

GAT on Wednesday

Holy shower, I miss the GAT.
I'd rather do it than this assignment right now.
My two mains problems are some of my laptop keys working inconsistently (spacebar, backspace, enter mainly) and the fact that my knowledge of film isn't really that great. I know what I want to say, but I really can't put into the right words. I'll get this done though, just a matter of when. :P
Nige do you remember that the GAT was more than 3 hours long?

It was 3 hours, but it took only 1 to finish.
Got nowhere with this essay.
Space bar seems to be working online but not in Word and my old technique of pasting a space in isn't working either.
Should still get it done at some point tonight though.

Dude, I've had that problem before! There are a few steps but it's an easy fix.
1. Open Word.
2. File -> Options
3. Advanced
4. You should see a whole bunch of options you can tick or untick.
5. Scroll down to "General"
6. Find the box where it says "Make excuses not to do your work"
7. Untick that box

Nah, I've made progress. 8)
After a week of procrastination, I find myself battling the lethal combination of writer's block and analysis paralysis (yes, that's a thing) while I try to complete this essay due tomorrow. Only 500/1500 words done.
The assignment is supposed to be due tomorrow (a time wasn't specified) but the Turnitin link is open until Tuesday so I'm currently debating whether it's worth using as much of tomorrow as I need to get this done. Will still sit up to at least midnight and try to get another paragraph or two done though.

You can always employ the technique I have used in English for pretty much the last 6 years. Leave it until the absolute last moment so you are forced to write something. Never had writer's block that way 8)

Good job Zippy, experience at the deadline helps ;). My friend who's doing post grad managed to do 2 essays on Monday (6k words all up) and submit that day :o.
My exam yesterday was a shocker. Was ill-prepared for a chunk of it, but then they literally picked out 1/10th of the exam outside the Lectures/Readings, so everybody is complaining now. And it's not the first time it's happened during my Psych units ::).
Exams all 4-5 days apart for me, means I finish late but i like that cos can focus on one at a time. Have had my 2 law exams, the one yesterday was worth 100%, and was very happy about, the other one went ok. Next one is on Thursday am about to start doing stuff for it, then finish the next tuesday.
Safe to say I'm not looking forward to my exam tomorrow morning haha. Programming in C, Perl, and Shell. At least it's open book, although that could also be a bad thing.

Haha, from what he said it started with like a group of kids just walking out. Then they were like "Hey woah hey ho woah what's going on here" and then someone told em what was up. And then the exam supervisors started laughing and let them all leave.
And now it's been rescheduled for Friday at 9am.
Anyone good with maths (specifically integrals), that could help me with this issue:
Finding the integral of the following function:
2/(x-2) + 1/(x+1)
of which the result is = 2*ln|2-x| + ln|x+1|
The bit in bold is what I don't get. Why isn't it 'x-2' as when I find the integral of 2/(x-2) i get 2*ln|x-2|
Is it an error? I got x-2 as well for that bit. However, I haven't done integrals in 3 years, so I could be wrong :P
If those are absolute values, then: |x - 2| = |2 - x|
Only way I can understand them getting that answer otherwise same as you guys. Only know the above cause it's in my Maths unit this sem :P.

To add to this (which is correct, btw), the default of graphing calculators (the ones you use in Methods) is to display the pronumeral last in cases like this (for whatever reason - can't think of a logical one). So yeah, you'll probably see it a lot that you get |numeral - pronumeral| instead of |pronumeral - numeral|.
On the plus side, you're doing everything right :D
Yeah I totally did not think to check that.... Cheers guys. Got the Wolfram Alpha app ($3.79 iTunes App Store), which gives you worked solutions which said the same thing.

Probably not the same thing but Vector proofs were a nightmare when I did them last term
Could never remember what to prove unless it was a simple shape like a square or triangle
I think know I failed one today :( But the other one I had was ok, and guess who else does first year Accounting (The one i think I passed) at Adelaide? Ollie Wines. Might explain his form drop over the last two weeks, been too busy thinking about how to prepare an Income Statement ;D

What subject??
Mathematics for Economics and Business (ETC2440). Not as pure as the math subjects you taught ;). But our lecturer loves proofs :'(.
Finally done ;D. Was happy with 1, other 3 were a bit iffy could have done better with more study but pretty confident passed them all. Freeeee!

I lost the majority of my marks on structure and writing style, which I guess was to be expected. My lecturer wrote a thank you in the feed back for the originality of the argument and interesting points :P
Got an exam tomorrow then two next week, been flat out with Uni, footy and work so have hardly been able to procrastinate on here ::)
So for the assignment that said "Warning: This is a summary of the entire unit and will require a minimum of 60 hours work. You should be working on this from week 2." which I started a week before it's due date in week 13 (and finished with a few days to spare), I scored 80% :D

Do 20% of the work get 80% of the mark I like it

I passed all 4 of mine first two semesters, then all 3 I finished last semester (I dropped another halfway through)

I think know I failed one today :( But the other one I had was ok, and guess who else does first year Accounting (The one i think I passed) at Adelaide? Ollie Wines. Might explain his form drop over the last two weeks, been too busy thinking about how to prepare an Income Statement ;D
So that exam I was basically certain I failed.... I ended up with a 59P overall so must've done enough to pass the exam :o Got another 59P, a 72C and a 97HD for what is probably the easiest and most fun subject you can possibly do Puzzle Based Learning. Which is just solving puzzles of different difficulty and type.
How'd you end up in a class about puzzles?

It was an elective, and it sounded cool and is in the same faculty as my degree (Mathematical Sciences).
Had to do Year 12 Maths Studies (Which is the 2nd top maths in SA) as a prerequisite for the class, so it's not that easy, I just found it easy :)

straight Ds yo.
Had an 80, 60, and 55 this semester. Considering the latter two were sport economics and finance (hard), and sport law (even harder), I'm pretty pleased with that. Other unit I should've done I'll make up in summer school.
Doing sports journalism, promotional marketing, consumer behaviour, and sport venues and events this semester, which should be good I guess.
70, 77, 72, 52 for me. The subject i got 52 in I thought i did well in the exam (which was 100% of the mark) and thought i did shower in the exam for the subject i got 77 in haha
I've been spending less time on here but somehow that has coincided with me procrastinating more :P

This is what happens to me, I really don't know where the time goes :(.
Last semester I got 1 Credit and it drops my GPA to 2.964/4. Now I gotta get a HD somewhere to balance it back up. I also had to pay $28 for an official academic transcript to put in my resume. Fricken Grad jobs :P.
GPA is a retarded system. WAM is so much better.

My linguistics diploma was 8 units. Got 7 HDs and one subject, in my final year, was 78... Those 2 points cost me a 4.0
Was bloody devastated :P
Oh wow that is crazy Huggy. SO CLOSE and can't get better now haha. Still awesome effort, damn good scores if that was the lowest :P. My GF had a perfect 4.0 GPA until last sem, got results and her first 79. She got it rechecked and they marked her results with somebody else's in sem results... She ended up getting 95 for the unit. That's a 16 point difference which is insane to mess up!

haha, mine's been slowly going up each year :P
that being said, it's really average :P
my WAM's like 71 and I think my GPAs like low 2s (out of 4, not 7 obvs).
if I get full marks in my subjects this sem my WAM will only go up to like 73 and a bit :P
Yeah mine is pretty average at 72. Use to be like 77 in 2nd year but some bad subjects set me back. I don't compare myself to the missus who has a WAM in the 90s... I like to think Engineering/Science is easier than Economics/Arts which explains the difference ;D.

Maybe I should have got it remarked too...
On top of that, my Eng/Sci degree (which is completely separate) has a WAM of 79.7ish... Exchange units don't count so that's where it'll end when I get my degree. Ouch.
Pwoah, that is just sooooo close. 0.3 from 80 WAM, that'd be annoying haha. But hey, if you have a job at the end of it, should work out then ;). Such a studious student Huggy, wish I had a WAM up there like you :'(.
She didn't even ask to get remarked, just wanted to know her exam mark. Then the unit coordinator realised they used somebody else's in-semester results to calculate her final grade. Surely they would be more careful as that made a huge difference!

How does GPA and WAM work?
Quote from: PowerBug on July 26, 2015, 04:36:16 PM
How does GPA and WAM work?
Different unis have different systems.
Monash works like this...
WAM = weighted average mark. Take all of your grades and average them BUT weight the level one (first year) units as only 0.5 units.
So, if I scored 80 in a level one unit and then 70, 70, 90 in three other units (not level one), my WAM would be (80*0.5+70+70+90)/(0.5+1+1+1) = 270/3.5 = 77.1
GPA = grade point average. This is just an average of your grades (with no weighting afaik) where your grades are scored out of 4. You get 0 points for a fail, 1 for a pass (50-59), 2 for a credit (60-69), 3 for distinction (70-79) and 4 for high distinction (80+). So, in the example above, your GPA is (4+3+3+4)/4 = 3.5

like some unis do it slightly differently... some use a GPA out of 7, others weight all years (so first year < second year < third year)
hmmm ok thanks guys :)
Back to Uni today.
Got one classs from 2-5pm (2 hour lecture, 1 hour tute - basically a 3 hour workshop).
It was supposed to be more Drama related, but now it's been changed and they've added some like history bullshower to which is annoying. So now the unit is Ancient Greek History & Drama, which isn't too bad, because Greek comedy (which we cover as part of the unit) does interest me. It's all the historical shower that is going to kill me.
Have actually gone to my two lectures this week, and read through the unit plans - that's pretty impressive imo
My sport journalism class actually has a 75% attendance requirement, so gotta go to them :'(
Left home at 12:30pm to get to my 2pm class in time.
Arrived here 5 mins late when normally I'd be here like (at least) 15 mins early. ::)

New life plan is to win supercoach and take a gap year after that chem sac

Feels weird to be starting the final topic for most of my subjects already
Got to eat during class today, that was fun. Snacking for 3 hours was great.
Also don't have class next week because the time is being allocated to a museum visit, and we don't actually have to go during that time either, just some time before our Week 4 class.
That sounds like a great class, what's it for Nige? :o
And I use to snack all the time in my 2 hour lectures or when I had a string of them together (and actually went to them). It feels good, but try not to bring crunchy foods :P.

I drank 4 Up & Gos in the first 15-20 minutes of a physics exam once. An invigilator came up and checked all the labels because they assumed I was cheating. I just hadn't had breakfast and didn't know any of the answers :/

Glad to hear it wasn't too bad though :D. Always a plus knowing you can make it through it alive ;).
Physics was interesting but difficult at times to understand the concepts. Motion always flowered me over but the rest I didn't mind (cause we never did relativity :P ).
Have a 'study seminar' day tomorrow and a 'reflection day' on Friday
Gonna try and pull a sick day on one of them but I will probably run the risk of copping a Saturday detention
Thinking about skipping Friday
So there's this guy in one of my uni classes that I sat next to yesterday, was like hold on I think I know this bloke from somewhere (name + soccer team he supports, pretty unique team to support)
Took me a day, but I know who it is - won't say specifically who, but it's (is or was idk) a mod from a different fantasy footy site that I used to go on :o
Going to actually talk to him next week then haha
So year 11/12 subject selection day today. I had a list of 8 subjects that I'd be cool with doing, and because of how the timetables work I can only do 5 of those 8 and I have to find another subject to do. Simply retarded.

if you really, really want to do one of the remaining three subjects, you could do it by distance ed? You have to be more on the ball for it/ a bit more self directed learning, but it'd actually be really good prep for uni
or, at least you can in NSW, I'm sure they're equivs in the other states though
yeah, you can.
So I wanted to do Music, Maths B, Economics, Modern History, English and then one of Maths C, Drama or Ancient history as the 6th subject.

What do you mean by 3/4?
Ah so in Victoria, in Year 11 you do units 1 and 2 of a subject, then in Year 12 you do 3 and 4 for them.
But yeah, that's pretty unlucky that you can't do 6 of them. My school use to run several classes for the popular stuff (e.g. Maths, English) so it was usually pretty flexible and easy enough to grab everything you wanted.
Could see if there is a chance to shuffle stuff around to get into the classes, and even if you miss one here and there just say you can try to catch up by yourself (as Zippy said, good prep for uni). Doubt they'd go for it, but hope there are nice teachers around willing to help you out.
Cheers HP. Most people chose their subjects in the 30 minute interview but I was able to take it home cause I didn't know what subjects I wanted to do. Going to talk the the deputy tomorrow, hopefully I can work something out.
That should help out! :)
We were given a booklet with all the subjects available, and allowed a few weeks to decide what we want to do. Then think after they got selections in, THEN they did the timetabling. Not sure why they would have it already timetabled now prior to knowing who wants in :o.

just too bad I didn't even look at any content for the unit for the first 5 weeks :P
For a different unit, the unit plan says "where the assignment is submitted not more than 5 working days late, the penalty shall, for each working day that it is late, be 5% of the maximum assessment available for the assignment;"
The assignment is due at 5pm on Friday; could I submit it Sunday night and still be allowed full marks because it isn't a working day late?

Could definitely argue that successfully imo haha
These two hour breaks on Friday are gonna be heaps fun now that I have to rely on this stupid tablet instead of my laptop. It's pretty difficult trying to get any work done on it compared to my laptop as well, so it means two hours of being less productive than I would normally be during a break.
At least the tablet battery is solid and doesn't need charging to survive my six hours here.
flower referencing and bibliographies.
I tried studying on a tablet, goes 50/50 if I actually learn stuff. So now during my gaps if I can't be stuffed finding a computer, I bring some textbooks to read instead which is more productive.
Referencing is some easy stuff though Nige, just annoying. I am planning to start and hopefully finish most of a lab report today, including research and referencing (as I find it a good way to procrastinate actual writing).
Yeah, it's easy. Although it doesn't help when I have to use Chicago even though I prefer to and normally use Harvard.
I just don't like doing it and usually procrasinate because of that very fact.
I legit only need to put in like three references as well. Should have been done like nearly an hour ago.
Ah yeah, the different referencing systems are a pain once you get use to some. I'm sure you got it out of the way during the day ;).
I was planning to write up my lab report today, instead my brother wants to move around units/tv sets which involved cleaning the lounge units and lifting stuff to and from the garage as well. On and off for like 5 hours and tiring so all I got done for my lab report was the 15 word title and researched random articles that relate to it. Good enough as I can probably finish it in next two days so then my day off I can go out.
It'll be one of the few times in 4 years I am not waiting until the last day to do things :P.

I do Econometrics major so close enough to Stats :P.
Environmental is certainly an interesting choice for engineering, haven't met somebody majoring in that yet :-X. But if you do choose Engineering, a Commerce degree with it (Monash is perfect for the double degree option ;) ;) ) should help make sure you aren't too overwhelmed with contact hours (same if you do a Science + Commerce degree).

Heading into Year 10 next year, so the VCE journey begins.
At the school I attend, all students are to study one VCE subject.
However, in a new initiative for this year, the school has approached a "capable & talented" bunch of students whom it believes can handle two VCE subjects for next year (8 Units), leaving Year 12 to only 4 units, and the rest of the time studying at a nearby University, which supposedly guarantees entry for the future.
The way I see it, that would make next year the hardest year of my High School Life, but theoretically sets me up nicely for the future, which would be nice.
However, I am not sure that I can mentally handle the stress next year, and by Year 12, I would have had 2 further years to mature, and would probably score better, but have handed back the University aspect which apparently also includes a 40 score by default.
As it stands, I have a very, very vague gauge on what career I wish to pursue in the future, but have ruled out more things than I have made an option.
Choosing one VCE subject for next year was hard enough, let alone two.
There are many VCE subjects I wish to do, but feel that I could not handle picking up next year, but am keen on for the year after (eg. Math Methods)
General Thoughts and Advice much appreciated!
Not really sure what I'm asking for here, especially at this hour, but any tips would certainly be handy.
Most unit 1 and 2 subjects are pretty easy, so I wouldn't worry about next year. Units 3 and 4 is where it can get tough, but so much easier if only 1-2 subjects to focus on.
Would only do Methods a year early if you're strong in maths. Units 3/4 can be a dog haha.
If there's a couple of subjects you're keen on doing now, definitely go for it. The extra work shouldn't be that bad (I literally didn't do any study for any unit 1/2 subjects, let alone year 10 subjects).
Good luck!
Got 13.5/19 for a mid semester Maths test. Worth 15% overall. Not the best but I will take it, at least I passed :)
Doing in-text referencing for the first time in like two years. :P
Usually I just don't bother because I'm too lazy and hate referencing because of how tedious it can be, but I figured that since this is for my third year subject and major, I should probably put effort in.
This is going surprisingly well. 8)
My internet has been incredibly slow and I honestly reckon that if it was it's usual speed I'd be done by now but this is probably gonna drag on until the evening. :(
Poor poor Nige, but in-text isn't too bad just annoying :P.

Could be alot worse, just got to pick it up for other stuff to make up for it. I've gotten 12/20 for 20% lab reports before, meh efforts but can just pay more attention to other things to try and lift the grades if needed.
As for the VCE stuff, as GoLions said Units 1&2 are pretty relaxed compared to 3&4. Depending on what interests you, two can be manageable. I had some friends in accelerated class that did like 3 Unit 1&2 in Year 10, they just focused on them more than the other classes (which don't count if you just pass). Just got to be organised with your time and not slack off and you'll be fine. Year 11 isn't too bad either as Units 1&2 are just to prep you for Year 12, where the grades in 3&4 units count towards ATAR (whereas year 11 subjects don't).
So if you look like it there, you'll be more stressed the year after when the results actually effect your ATAR, but that's if you aren't prepared/organised. 4 Units in year 12 certainly is a help to pay more attention, or to allow you to try a 5th subject if you want to (option some people in accelerated class got). Agree with GoLions, if you're not too strong in Maths, save Methods for after Year 10 as it's a pain at times. Many subjects in VCe, but if you have a pathway you like, follow that with some subjects.
But don't be afraid to try something different! Never know what you may like! I did Psychology, Chemistry, Physics, Methods, English and Economics. Science heavy but I loved Economics and ended up following that (and Psychology) into high school. So go for some things that you need to get into a course you'd like, but can also try something different if you're drawn to it.
You're in Year 10 next year, don't have to stress too much. It'll work out with time so just chill while you still can :)
Just submitted it. Fingers crossed it's all good.
You mentioned methods, not sure if you have something similar at your school but you might want to speak to your teachers about 'shadowing' the course
Basically I did 1/2 in year 10, 3/4 in year 11 (not actually enrolled in 3/4 methods though), and am now doing 3/4 for real in year 12
Has worked out really well so far with me doing not much work for good marks, also really helps you get a good understanding of the course and when it comes to year 12 you can get started on practice exams early

You know the big problem with maths subjects? They don't have many assessment tasks. All of my four subjects have 70% weighting on the final exam! :( I will be happy with a credit for this subject though, it's pretyt difficult.
So for this standard Maths subject (Maths IB), 70% final exam, 15% mid-semester test, 10% for weekly computer assignments (these are really easy), and 5% overall for fortnightly hand-in questions.

Yeah you might also want to check out if your school runs a similar to program to the one they've got me on. It's called "failing"
Basically you attend pretty much all the 1/2 classes in year 11, take none if it in, repeat for 3/4 in year 12 and on SACs just write down all the numbers you know and hope you get a few marks
Methods is a dog :P But if you're a switched on kid like you seem to be fanTCfool then doing accelerated subjects will definitely help ease the work load in year 12. I've never heard of doing 2 accelerated subjects but if you think you're up to it it would have big benefits down the road

For one of my subjects that has weekly assignments, I logged in to see exactly how much it was worth. Then I noticed that I have a test for it worth 15% this Tuesday....
Currently sitting on a HD and D for two of my units :D (get it? because :D has the letter D in it which stands for distinction! comedy gold)
Two credits for my other two units, which is still pretty good I suppose.

Gotta do a tutorial paper which is a weekly assignment for my Ancient Greek History and Drama class. It's only 150 words, but I haven't read the reading yet and I don't want to because I've heard it's terribly boring because it's mostly history related and a tragedy, which is lame. I guess I'll just bullshower my way through it.
In other news, came up with a cunning and effective plan to make sure I didn't have to remember bulk lines as part of the chorus for the end of year performance. The teacher and class were happy with it and I now only have to remember two short lines for that particularly act. Just gotta try and have the same luck for the last one.

Just finished the pack of mid-sem assignments. Bit of a break, next essay due on the 24th that I probably should look at.
Got a pair of H1's (HD's in not retarded Melbourne model terms) for the first few essay's I got back 8)
Got an essay due this Friday but pretty much nothing apart from the weekly tutorial paper due next week so basically Week 9 should be chill and then it's the mid sem break (after Week 9, ACU pls) during Grand Final week, so more or less two weeks of nothing. ;D
So yeah, my essay due Friday is for Professional Ethics and I'm required to write an argumentative essay, something I haven't done since high school. The topic should be easy to write on - it's basically just workplace issues/free speech, arguing for that from an ethical viewpoint shouldn't be difficult.
The bit I'm kinda worried about is writing the abstract. I've never actually done (or had to do) one before and so I'm a little nervous. I more or less know what in entails and that it's usually done at the end of the essay/report even though it's the first thing on the paper. Not entirely sure whether I have to do an introduction on top of the abstract since the latter basically contains the contents of the essay condensed into like 150 words (apparently the abstract shouldn't be more than 10% of the paper).
I guess if I have to leave it until the end then there's no point stressing about it.
TL;DR - Breaking my abstract writing virginity and I'm nervous about it.
And the exam grind begins....

Abstract writing is the easy part, argumentative essays are generally a pain.
I rarely do abstracts for essays, mostly lab reports which are easier to structure it for. Indeed it may be similar to your introduction, except you'll also talk about what you conclude as well in here and only main arguments/examples used in here, whereas Introduction more broad.
Well finished off an assignment due Friday now :D. Took longer than expected because it's open ended (rubric they gave is alright) but what they expect from us is pretty much left on us and some things they want us to do to get HD they never even taught. And we have to use a data analysis program and need to know how to run these complicated tests on there to get full marks. Hoping for a Credit here as since it's my last semester at uni altogether, just really can't be stuffed.
With this out of the way, rest of my week/weekend will be seeing to another subject which I consider harder but assignments are more clear haha.

Hahaha, I'm so glad it's coming up. It's been a long 8 weeks (not having my laptop has made it so much worse) and there's still one more to go, but there's basically nothing doing next week so I'll treat it like two weeks off hahaha.
For now, I'm just slaving over this essay for my Professional Ethics class. Starting and finishing it today was not the plan, but it's not actually that hard as it's a persuasive essay which I've always been good at, but I keep have to remember I'm writing this from an ethical viewpoint rather than a HRM based one like I'm used to doing.
At least you left a day for it Nige ;). I remember a time when I left a night for it, I've learnt from my mistakes as could still get Credits but probably should aim higher haha.
Yeah Monash too have their mid-sem break after Week 9 :(. Lucky besides 1 thing due next week, got nothing else until after the break. But then it's 4 huge things basically in 3 weeks, so I'm hoping to finish one per week at least (hopefully 4 in 3 weeks) to take off the stress. I'm really burnt out for uni in general and have other stuff play on my mind, so kinda have to organise to take some pressure off myself :). Note that you younger guys entering, time management is key in uni!

What does time management mean? :P
We have ours after week 9 too I think, although the class I have to go to isn't running next week and I doubt I'll go to my other so basically get it a week early and for two weeks :D got a lot planned for my holidays to do with my two favourite things, girls and sport, so hyped aha
Finished all my assignments that are due until the 12th of next month so all good for now thankfully, and the four assignments I have left are mostly easy - 4000 words between three (two are group things), then a ten-pager :'( followed by a test and two exams
Mine is after Week 8, which ends today :D
Exam timetable out for me.
I start on Saturday 7th... (Seriously, flower off, a Saturday)
Then TWO on the 12th (Yet again I get two on the same day)
The last one on the 18th
They are all only 2 hours at least.
Oh also, I forgot to mention they are all worth 70%.
My two are the 13th and 18th, which sucks because Fallout 4 comes out on the 10th :/
I should really start on my next assignments, they're due on the 12th, 14th, 23rd, and 23rd and have only started the one due on the 14th.
English is in like 3 and a 1/2 weeks

My Ethics exam is on Friday the 13th, hoping for luck. :P

Dunno, should probably study that.
Got a group presentation on Friday and another Friday next week.
Gotta spend the afternoon doing my parts of both as obviously I have to present tomorrow morning and the group for next week's wants everything done by tomorrow when we have our group meeting.
My time management and organisational skills need a lot of work.
My tip, always do group assignments early. And make sure you tell the rest of your group when you've finished your assignment - it makes you look good, meaning they'll think you're smart/are more likely to like you and be in your group in the future/rate you better in the peer review part.
For my two group assignments, I finished one before the other guy even started, and have finished the other well before the other two have.
Oh I meant to, but the mid sem break meant I wasn't keen on doing any Uni work and I more or less booked myself out the entire week to do stuff. :P
But yeah, I usually do that but this time I'm going about it the hard way. Doesn't help that we're going out for dinner tonight which means I'll have to come back and finish my Ethics one off.
I dislike group assignments.
Had our first group meeting today, the other two seem lost in how to run tests and even understanding what the assignment asks. The assignment asks to make your own research question and test it. One guy understood it, the other not so much. But they both felt like they just wanted to get out of there. I wouldn't mind if they half knew what they were doing, but they don't even follow the lectures or know what tests to run and one of them didn't even want to give me an idea on what he would do his research question on for me to cover the other topic...
It's worth 20% otherwise if it was 10% or less I wouldn't care. Testing stuff is easy and this assignment overall seems fairly easy once you decide what you want to test on, but after that group meeting I got a migraine that still is there now >:(.
Do you get to pick your groups? I'm guessing not from what you're saying...
It's too late to change out (although I could basically do entire thing myself) but I'm happy to do half to two-thirds of the assignment myself since we just have to put it up onto a powerpoint slide pretty much and submit.

In my experience, it varies. For some units - yes, for others - no. Best example is that for the one I have tomorrow, we chose each other (because we needed a group of three and we were all sitting at the same table) but for my Ethics one next week, we were allocated groups. Both have been as bad as each other tbh.
Group assignments are shower if you have a shower group.
I've got one assignment with three lads I played footy with a few years ago so thats sweet, but the other is a group of foreigners who can hardly speak a lick of English.

So my HRM presentation went pretty well. The lecturer/tutor was seemingly pretty happy with it as a whole and even praised me individually while he called the other two in the group out on that transition between their parts and some other stuff.
My Ethics presentation is a different story. We're a group of 5 and we've pretty much had one group meeting with all of us present which was like 10 mins after class on Friday. Also, the weird thing about that presentation is that on the peer evaluation form, you can't give anyone the same score which is kinda annoying when we've all pretty much put in the same amount of effort.

Group Assignments were always just Individual assignments with bigger work loads for me.

Yeah they said we wouldn't be disadvantaged by not turning up.
But I went anyway; turns out the threat wasn't genuine, after initial concerns it was.

Some guy on 4chan posted a picture of a pistol saying "this is what I'm going to use" - in implying an attack on the UTAS campus.
Funnily enough, they later found that the picture of the pistol was the same image used in an article reporting one of the shooting incidents in America a couple of years ago... and other stuff they found out along with that, so it turned out not to be credible.
Still! Was an interesting drama while it lasted.

So I got my English trial exam back, and one of the comments on it was "get a pen that works consistently"
I normally just get the cheapest bic ones or whatever at office works, do you guys know what I should be using?

The tip we were always given is to just take multiple pens into the exam so if one is dying on dies while you're writing you can just drop it and pick up another one.
I'd normally buy a stack of pens at the start of the year and intentionally keep like one of them unused for exam time.

Gotta get that pen aye GL ;).
I think you guys overthink it, I just took in like 2-3 pens I used throughout the year, no biggie :P. I also took in a pencil if all of them also decided to die on me :P.
I had brekky before my English exam. I spent a good chunk of the time with an upset stomach and was in the bathroom for a good 30 mins throughout the exam... I owned the exam, but I've never ate cereal or any solid breakfast before any exam since then.

You spent half an hour in the toilet? And you still finished the exam? :o I really don't think I could do an exam on zero food
Turns out my dad had like 30 good quality pens so I think I'm set :P
I just use the cheapest bic ones as you do Mac, and I find that they work perfectly for me. The extra colours are handy. :P
BUT in the years I have used them, I have come across two or three total duds that didn't work from the start, which is why I always like to do into exams with two or three of them along with a pencil.
You can never be over prepared. ;)

Yeah 30 mins spread out over a few visits, so wasn't even all in a go, but throughout writing my essays. And yep, finished the exam with time to spare and ended with an A+ . But don't want to go through that again :P.
Gotta love student free days
never underestimate a good pen.
I have a Parker Pen only like $30 but worth it. looks better, more reliable, quicker and easier to wirte and better on your hand.
I hate Bic
Bic four-colour pens are the best, they're like two bucks each and last for ages.
LAST EXAM TODAY CMONNNNNNN SO LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES AGAIN ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Eerie similarities - I too have an exam on the 13th, and have an assignment due tomorrow at 5pm (WST tho so have 3 more hours than you ;)), not really struggling with it as it's pretty easy work, just it's a lot to do - am 3 1/2 pages into the 10 pages I need to do and already have covered a lot of stuff, might have to rely on other methods to get my page count up :3
I mean, I just have to create a policy on my chosen topic (workplace bullying) in 1000 words. We were given a sample policy to go off and I've found a few online to use as guides, plus this week's lecture slides focus on workplace bullying as the topic and it has the stuff that should probably be included in a workplace bullying policy. I won't be going in tomorrow since I'll probably still be doing the assignment, but it's online already so with a bit of luck I might even get it done tonight.
Praise the Lord, it's over.
I'm actually really happy with how productive I was this morning and how quickly I got it done. I'm also really happy with the quality of it as well. Here's hoping my lecturer/tutor feels the same way.
Congrats man, doing some good hard work always feels good.
I'm like 98% of the way through mine, just polishing it up a bit. flowering hating pay-walls on journal articles though, my essay would be so much better if I could read another article or two.

Tbh I'd much prefer that than the 8/4 split we just had. The end of that 8 week period was the equivalent of hell.
8/4 split you mean with the mid-sem break separating them? I know that feel as Monash had our semester at a 9/3 split which was bad as well. What uni do you go to Atto?

Best of luck everyone, try your best but remember don't put too much pressure on yourself. There are soo many ways of getting to where you want to go, exams at the end of the day dont matter much at all, if you go worse then expected its not the end of the world.
4 uni exams in 6 days, starting on cup day during the race lol, flower. If i get the quaddie and it pays well (apparently they write the race winner up or something idk) will probably just leave halfway through celebrating, even though it's a 90% exam :P.

Haha amen to that. Studying BA in Geography and Environmental Studies. I had actually just transferred from UoA doing a B.Environmental Policy and Management. It was always what I wanted to do but when I got there, it wasn't what I expected.

Oh and I never replied to your comments, but to you and Mac and anyone else who has done exams I hope you've all killed them, and can say you've been happy with how you went!
Had my first one today and here's how it went:
> Exam starts
> 15 minutes later
> Fire alarm
> Everyone bangs head on desk
> Follow "procedure"
> Supervisor not even sure what she's meant to be doing
> Firetrucks arrive
> Check the place
> We hang around for like 20 minutes
> Fireman says we can go back in
> Exam resumes
But in other news I'm expecting a credit for the exam, which probably means I'll only just pass. :P

Nah there wasn't but it was 15 minutes into it, the info would have been useless in comparison to the rest of the exam. Think everyone just ended up updating Facebook statuses as soon as we walked out haha
Still 3 exams left :-X
Gotta start and finish an 1500-2000 word essay by 11pm tomorrow night.
I probably should have started this two days ago but I welcome the challenge. :P

Still 3 exams left :-X
Are you one of those kids heading into the Spesh/Chem/Physics combo? If so, good luck :-X
Finito! The essay is done and has been submitted.
Just got an exam on the 13th and that's me done for another year.
One more semester next year and Uni should be done. 8)

Nice one Nige, what are you looking at doing after uni?
becoming a porn star, right Nigey?

Not too sure at this stage. Even though I'm doing a major in Business Studies, my degree is a Bachelor of Arts so that's what it'll be recognised as, which is basically good for nothing. I'm still unemployed atm, and I've never had a job, but I'm hoping to get one and maybe just work as often as I can for the second half of 2016 after I finish my course and then decide, so kinda like half a gap year.

It'll cost you a dollar per thrust. I can probably give you change for a 10
Was pretty gutted a few days ago.
I've done my undergrad in science, but I wanted to do my post grad in physio at the same uni, so last year I sent an email asking what prereqs I'd need to fill, and got emailed back a list of topics I'd need to cover. So this year I spent the year covering those prereqs...
but then they changed the prereq entry requirements this year to include more exercise physiologiy but drop exercise sport science (like biomechanics, motor control + learning)... so I only met like 3/6 exercise physiology requirements (there were 60 requirements to be met all up and it was specified that not all requirements had to be met for entry).
It was just a bummer, I probably just had to do one more subject or something stupid.. I'm still looking at alternative entry, but was pretty cut.
And why would you knock people back like 3 days before finals start, such a demotivator lol.
And we're done 8)
Easiest exam ever today
Only needed 20% to pass the unit so did limited study - played Fallout for the 2 1/2 hours between waking up and leaving for the exam this morning while reading over my notes during loading screens. Half of the exam was just doing what we did in one of the assignments which I crushed, and in the answer-4-of-5-questions section, the other half, I had 4 questions which I could answer good. None of the stuff I really studied was even on the exam - just easy stuff I got by on through general knowledge of marketing :D
Only need 10% to pass the unit for my next assignment, so will probably do even less studying haha
Finished for the year :D Went pretty well in my final exam today as well :)

My last (for my undergrad as well :P ) is on friday :(
So over study.
Atar.
Try to do exactly what you want to when/ if you start uni... because the general bureaucratic bs you have to go through when dealing with unis if you chop and change is the biggest nightmare.
#flowerusyd
Also, it is legitimately just a number and doesn't really stop you from doing anything (as nobody gives a flower about it). Had several mates not get the ATARs they wanted and are still doing what they hoped to do.
Even I didn't get what I aimed for and am pretty happy with what I'm doing. I initially thought I wouldn't get in to my preferred course but I ended up getting an offer and turned it down for my second preference.
I know lads, got over 80 so am reasonably happy, should get into the course I want to and defer for 2017.
Will be keen to get my offers mid Jan though

gap years are great- whether your travelling or working :p
If you live a pain in the ass commute to uni though I'd definitely recommend full time work... if you do a year of full time work you're eligible for independent rate of centrelink, which makes it a flower tonne easier to leave home (especially if you're rural or something/ not from a particularly well off family).
I mean, I know/have spoken to a few people who have gone on gap years or deferred and not gone back which is always a danger. I honestly thought it was all bullshower until I actually met people who didn't.
But yeah, depends on your character I guess. Some people are committed to actually studying hard and completing a degree even if they do defer or whatever, others are more every day as it comes types who suddenly decide to do so and make up their mind depending on how it goes.
I know I wanted a gap year, but my mother wouldn't have a bar of it (not that I had any job or travel plans), kinda glad I went into Uni. Done at the end of next semester and then I'll be free to do whatever.
Got my report card back today. Mostly pretty good, Just got a C for English which is retarded (teacher is the hardest marker in the school). Somehow managed to get a B for science despite getting a D for effort :P

frankly, if you're not going to go back after a gap year, you probably wouldn't have been able to cut it at uni anyway.
I potentially wouldn't advise it for science/ engineering, where your maths/ physics/ chem components build directly on your highschool and it can be a pain to get back into all that (I had a bit of trouble personally). Other than that, I'd recommend it.

Fair enough :P Definitely wasn't judging or anything, was just curious
Personally, I always figured I'd get my schooling done as soon as possible, then get a job for a couple years and then maybe take 6 months off and go travelling when I've got money and am a little bit older/more mature

Yeah, this pretty much became my mindset.
I'm currently looking for a job now so when I finish Uni mid year I have something to fall back on immediately and I'm not sitting around just refreshing the forum all day like I normally am. :P

Still no luck on the job front? Unlucky man :-\
I still haven't put together my CV yet, but i'll have to start looking for a job soon
Admittedly I've been a bit passive in my pursuit of a job in the past couple of weeks or so, my previous experience trying to get a job this close to Christmas hasn't ended well in two previous attempts (2013 and 2014) so I'm kinda building to get off my arse after Christmas and do something.
People seem to be debating this, but my experiences and research tell me it's considerably harder for someone who basically 21, has basically no experience, limited skills and no qualifications to get a job. Though that's partially my fault in looking at the wrong type of jobs. I'll probably have to start looking at more age appropriate stuff.
I gotta get a professional to look over my resume before I start sending it. This guy I met at my high school's AGM gave me his business card and told me to email it to him but I can't find it now. :|
Hey guys, I am going into year 12 next year and I was wondering if there are any subjects that you guys don't recommend. I know that this is all just peoples opinions but I really have no idea of what subjects I want to do.
I need to choose 5 out of the 6:
English (compulsory)
General Maths
Legal Studies
Physical Education
Psychology
Business Man
I think I am going to drop one of maths and legal studies. I enjoy legal studies more but I am better at maths. I need a reasonably high atar (78) to get into the criminology course I want to do and was wondering what you guys would do.
TIA

You might be better at maths, but realistically, it's still going to be difficult to score well in it considering all the spesh/methods kids also doing further maths, so legal would be a better option imo
obviously make sure you are fulfilling the course's prerequisites as well

Yeah that is what I was thinking too.
Anyone have any tips to get me motivated to do the piles of holiday homework I have haha :P

I have an idea that has worked for others.
Get as much done as you can before Xmas, get the rest done by early Jan. Then relax bigtime.
Keep going while you are still in the mode. No pressure before starting 1st semester next year.

I did English, Further (assuming that's general?), Psych and Bus Man, all were pretty good. I was terrible at Psych and Further and bombed on my English exam despite doing well all year and the practice exam.
As long as you do the prereqs for your desired course (and next couple of preferences), I'd probably advise doing stuff you enjoy.

Don't listen to this guy! I've been cramming in homework/assignments/studying at the last minute my whole school and uni life and it's always come good for me :3 have fun for the next 6 weeks and then worry about homework imho

Haha yeah HP is right. Thats if I can find a job
Haha awesome man! Good luck with it.
Do you like Dodgeball? Are you free on Fridays? Then do I have the place for you :P.
Friends and I have made an official Monash Dodgeball page which basically is being run from last season but moreso by us this time around rather than staff. Basically we meet up at Monash Sports Centre in Clayton and play dodgeball for a few hours. Next Friday is 12-4 (can come and leave whenever) and then 12-2 for the Fridays after that during semester. It's free and a different sort of sport for those who would like to try it :).
Can always give out more details if people want, we even have a Facebook page as well for it. Somehow they even got a stall at O-week for promoting the social group, so anybody who got into Monash, I may be around there if you see it :P.
Inbetween a 5 session data program lessons (for R) I have running during O-week yay.
Wow I've played basketball there and been kicked out by you dodgeball people
:-X Yeah they book the courts for us but usually move us to spare courts unless they were also booked prior (as it was a weekly thing run by the Sports Centre).
Dodgeball is one of the great things in life, shame it is daylight hours and I assume 18+ like all dodgeball groups seem to be.
Nope, not 18+! I brought my 14 year old nephew to our last event and I know a friend who brought his brother who was in VCE a few events ago.
But yeah it's run from 12-4 next Friday and 12-2 the Fridays after, which class with high school times sadly :(. But we do have some events during holidays, unless you get a day of before then ;).
https://www.facebook.com/MonashUniDodgeball/ is the page. If you don't have FB, just PM me and I can always update you with details when events bob up :).

Sweet! Thanks HP!
I'll make sure to look into it a little closer to the holidays.
I've looked far and wide for anywhere to play dodgeball and have encountered some sort of restrictions each time.
No problems :). Yeah, my friend keeps trying to talk me into going and joining a league with him, but they are night ones and transport back (and money for it weekly) is a pain at the moment :(. Hopefully you can make it along as it's usually a nice place to meet new people and get active, and chuck balls at others >:D.
Man, I'm actually interested but I'll have Uni on Fridays and getting to Monash from ACU might be tricky.
Though I should mention class is 10-11 and 11-1 but I'm not planning on going to the 2 hour lecture so getting to Clayton on time could be doable. 8)
I need to get active and make more friends, so it might be worth looking into.
Anyone else studying for gamsat atm?
FML.
orientation camp tomorrow 8)
2 hours and 37 minutes left and I'm still messing around with my units :/ I just can't be happy with what I'm doing haha, somebody kill me
Every unit either sounds bad, has bad hours (early as/late as/clashes), or has a group assignment except for a couple :/
On the upside Jukesy, at least you have options :P. All 6 of my lectures are auto-allocated and one is at 8:30am :'(. I'm sure you'll find the right mix of good ones, but hard to avoid them all in the later year units.
Tutoring some classes in first year Business Statistics as well 8).

Yeah that's what's screwing me over, from the 10 sport management units on offer this year I've done 8 in the first two years, and from the other two are one I haven't done (yay) and one I dropped out of last year and I'm trying again :/
And I was going to do a type of business statistics but it had a group assignment so there went that idea :P
Yeah, think some lecturers are going with group assignments these days cause less assignments to mark overall :P. I talked to a lecturer the other day organising a unit and he was set to put in group assignments for a unit for the first time ever, just to cut down the assignments by like a quarter.
at least you've had a taste of one of those units haha. Business stats isn't too bad to be fair, easier than maths for me at uni. And group assignments you can live with if you can manage to get yourself a good group, or take charge and make sure stuff is done! Only time I've gotten through my assignments with a few days to go.
Good start to the year, got to uni a bit late for my lecture and saw my room was on the other side of campus so just sitting in the IT building (obviously on FF) and waiting for my tutorial to start :P
Managed to sneak in a couple pints in between lectures today :P
Drama yesterday was interesting to say the least. Basically we've gotta devise our own performance and everything. Gotta sort out our own audience (whether we invite them or do it in public) and also get it recorded. Our lecturer/tutor also needs to be invited whenever we perform it. I have no flowering idea what to do though, so a good start. :P
My normally 20 min bus ride to Oakeigh station took double the time because of traffic. Hopefully that doesn't continue to be the case since I've gotta take the bus at that time on both Wednesdays and Fridays for the rest of semester. Literally made it to my tute with minutes to spare. Already got ranndomly allocated a group for my business unit and was immediately nominated as group leader. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
Marketing on Friday, but I'm only going to the tute from 10-11 and skipping out on the lecture so that I can play dodgeball at Monash with Bunny and friends from 12-2. ;D
I'm also doing this online course, a diploma in leadership and management. Supposed to have started it but I haven't really done anything yet because I couldn't do the initial quizzes because they don't let you if they can't detect a stable internet connection and mine was being dodgy as flower this afternoon.
If you're catching a bus in this area on a Friday, especially in the afternoon, you might as well start walking :P
With the Clipsal in Adelaide traffic is suuuuuper slow (well, compared to normal Adelaide) in the city.
First week of my 2nd year now. Lots of maths this year which is nice seeing as it's a maths degree ;D
Keep track of the due dates and stuff Nige for the online course! It's a pain and I know people who've failed cause they forgot when things were due.

I'd be worried if there wasn't :P. I've got some maths so far in my 4th year Micro/Macro economics but should be manageable. Nothing compared to theory maths so good on ya PB :P.
10am start and an 8:15pm finish tomorrow ::)
8:15pm? That's flowered ahaha.
So it looks like I'm probably gonna have to buy textbooks for two fo my subjects.
My management lecturer basically said that we must have the textbook or ebook next week or we're flowered. Harsh but fair I guess. He seems like a genuinely decent dude but also one you don't wanna be on the bad side of, so it looks like I'm buying it.
Also might have an opportunity to sell a textbook I bought for a unit two years and used all of twice.
Haven't bought a textbook since first semester and haven't needed one once! Big scam and waste of money tbh.
Also, I gotta do volunteer work :/ forms due in next Wednesday, have been meaning to call around for the last couple days but anxiety and putting me off have made it hard :P will hopefully do it tomorrow.

Lucky! Maybe they'll be a bit slack with the marking for you guys ;).
As for textbooks, I only bought the textbooks for Psych after my first year Eco units (Cause Psych had exams based on the readings, which were the textbooks). Good thing though, I bought majority of my books 2nd hand, and they were able to be resold :P. So kinda broke even or a minor loss in the end!

Do you guys get the day off on Monday?
I'm fairly sure we didn't get last* Monday off (I don't have any classes on Mondays anyway)
*we "celebrate" labour day a week earlier

Because of this, I don't pay attenttion. :P
Yeah Public Holiday = no uni
So I'm buying a textbook from some chick for $60 when the RRP is double that. Just gotta find my way to Melb Uni's library on Monday to get it.
That's also the textbook I need less urgently. The one I need by Wednesday is probably only gonna be sent out on that day from the UK. Most likely getting that for like $95 with free delivery. Could be worse I guess.
Hopefully when I sell them I'll be able to get at least that much.

No day off. Monash.

Sit outside the FBE library or whatever she called it (I've literally never been to Melb Uni in my life) at 1pm and you'll probably find me.
Hey on the 16th it's Adl Uni vs Melb Uni footy match! Played in Adelaide. Shame I can't go to watch :(

I got my volunteering sorted :D doing reserves timekeeping (i.e. blowing the siren and writing down start/finish times - no stop/starting of the clock for reserves just straight 28 minutes so basically get to watch footy and play on phone!) for the Subiaco Football Club, will knock off my hours in like the first 9 rounds then they're going to pay me $500 to come down and do it for the rest of the season!
Just wrote Billings instead of Billions :-[ Footy on the brain...

Have to do 25 hours for one of my units, I've done this three times before (twice successfully, once I couldn't get one so I dropped the unit) and finding a placement is usually the hardest part.
Currently on a 90% average for the semester!
Admittedly I've done one assessment, an online test that I googled every answer to and found a direct answer about 22 times out of 30
Still, 90% average!
Got a 1250 report to do on two change management models we were given and the sections of the report have been defined and are already broken down into how many words are recommended for each bit.
I'm feel a massively lazy Friday coming on, but then there's footy to watch all weekend. The struggle is real.
I think I'll suss out some research/references and smash out the rest of the assignment on both Saturday and Sunday morning (maybe Saturday afternoon before the footy starts on delay, 7 pls) since that's usually when I do my best work.
It's all tactical knowing I work well in short bursts and under pressure, plus I've found leaving a paragraph or whatever unfinished and coming back to it at a later point never ends well.
I had a mid-sem that was down in my outline as 3rd of April... I was resigned to failing it... Tutor emails me "oh yeah there's a mistake its actually 3rd of May"

May 2 more like
"The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up." ;D
I need to add some bullshower references and do a 100 word (approximately) conclusion and I'm done, yet I'm procrastinating that hard. Definitely the referencing side of things that I don't want to do because flower in-text citations.
Ugh. I have to design 2 more functionally equivalent versions an iPhone app, make usability tests and conform to user centered design protocols; detail all that shiz in a report, and present it an 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
And yet... I STILL CAN'T GET MOTIVATED TO DO IT!

Haha yep, I scan the abstract and the article itself and if it seems semi-relevant, it's in.
Apparently we only need 3-5 references, I've got 2 so far, but neither are from journals, so I'll find 5 journal based references, chuck them on the reference list and submit it asap.
I use Scholar occasionally when I'm desperate, but I'm not usually a fan. That said, with the database still not working, I might not have much of a choice.

Got up at 5.30 this morning this finish this bad boy... I guess it kinda is... I'm just not so prepared for my presentation in about an hour. Just as well the presentation is only worth 20% of this assignment :-\

#ThingsYouDoAt5:30
Have a group/pair assignment for an off-campus unit (lecturer allocates groups) due in 3 days, 14 hours, and 20 minutes.
Girl I've been paired with hasn't replied to my email from last Tuesday or yesterday so have no idea what parts of the assignment to do :/
Have done 175 words of the introduction (essay total is 2000, plus presentation) so far and chosen 2 of the 3 journal articles we need to review, hopefully can get this sorted...
So... Finally met my course co-ordinator today and it turns out that I'm not finishing mid year after all. While I've done (and am doing) all the required units for my major and minors, turns out I still need to do 3 more units which will have to be done semester two this year. They're all electives though, so at least I'm not really restricted in choosing the remaining ones.

I legit can't find the unit descriptions that they used to list anywhere on the Uni website now so I've got no way of telling what the unit is about or anything like that.
I've got first year Digital Journalism and Sociology units added, tryint o decide between Geography (the unit title sounds majorly dry), Drama (kinda don't want to because I've had enough of the performance bullshower ahaha), Politics (#auspol) or Philosophy (already done a Philo unit before, was dead easy).
Definitely in for a very exciting final semester of Uni with units titled Ethics and Law in the Digital World, Contemporary Society and Change, and Theories of Human Nature.

Luckily she emailed me last night and we got everything we each need to do sorted, I'm most of the way through my part atm with like 28 hours left.
"Your assignment should not exceed 6 printed single-sided sheets of A4 paper"
9 pages later :-X
But like 3 of them are graphs and tables. Plus cover page and ToC. Should be fiiiiiiiiine.
Why did I leave my only showerty maths unit until the last semester of uni? Fk sake.
I am in the final 6 weeks of my masters and my life is so flowered...
The best way to explain it is to say I feel like im in a cave and im trying to climb out, but everytime i get to the top and take a breathe of fresh air, the walls crumble and I fall back down.
Urghhh :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Gotta love it around Week 5 and onwards of every semester of uni when you get hit with a flowertonne of assignments :P

Man thats dog! Surely you can just sit there on your phone while parent and teacher talks yeah ;) ;)
Speaking of parent/teachers, got "Interview Requested" on the report card for music despite A for achievement and A for effort :-\

Some teachers do that for all their students so they actually come to the interview haha, don't worry about it man. I had that for a teacher once and all they said was that I was doing great and should keep doing what I was doing :)

Gotta love it around Week 5 and onwards of every semester of uni when you get hit with a flowertonne of assignments :P
I'm actually getting off rather lightly for assignments atm, had 1 1/2 due last week (pair assignment and this other one that he gave us all an extra week on so was done with plenty of time) and one due next week but other than that nothing really.
All my classes has a week 13 assignment tho ;_;
Also, went for 2300 and 2200 words on 2000-word reports that were due last week. I'm impressed with that :3 without any bullshower to extend the wordcount too!
I have 1 assignment due Monday and then nothing for the next month, so I think I'm doing alright :P

Two due tomorrow which I'll have to finish before I leave at 1pm (for class at 3pm, mfw) and another to do by Wednesday because my group says so (mfw group leader but hardly running the show). The worst bit about the second is that we're not presenting until Week 8 and this is Week 6.
Got another due Week 7 I think it is, so I'll have to start that at some point. I don't even know what I have to do for that one tbh.

Hahaha amen to that. Had the exact same scenario, including wearing school uniform and everything. Absolutely hated it.
Man you guys are lucky haha. I had one due last Wednesday, two due today, one due tomorrow, one due Thursday, one due next Wednesday, and a mid sem that just got moved to the week after next (as opposed to next week). And then have my final year project which is ongoing throughout entire year.

When you factor in how much I really can't be flowered and don't want to do it, plus the near certanity that is procrastination, as well at the fact I need to go out in the middle of my day off Uni, what should be 80 minutes is gonna be a struggle. :P

Yep, same. Except mine is on Wednesday so they wanna meet Tuesday. It's made worse by the fact that I don't have a class on Tuesday either when sometimes I normally do, and I've already made a few bullshower excuses which doesn't help my cause. At least I group leader so they can't flower with me too much.
So my 1000 word essay only really has like two 300 word paragraphs, does that seem wrong?
It's currently below the word limit, but I need to chuck a bunch of quotes/in-text citations/references in.
I think I can get away with it, but idk.
Did you try gitting gud?
Be helpful m8.
Just spent the last 5 hours lifting three lazy flowers through a group assignment.
I'm gonna make sure at least two of them fail the assignment in the peer review >:(

Heh, some things never change. ;D
So like I had this essay for my business unit and after we submitted them, the lecturer the following week is like "wow guys, I'm really impressed by the standard, excellent work" or something like that. Apparently, half the unit failed it, myself included. 12/30. Seems a harsh marker though so we'll how the results of my group presentation (and individual mark for it) turn out.
So much design, so little time
Sigh. At uni campus at 9.45am on a Saturday for another damn group assignment.
This shouldn't be allowed to happen... why are there so many other people here? I don't get it.

Same assignment, due at 9am and still working on the flowerer with three other people.
Just end. Please just end.
So I'm doing this case analysis report for my consumer behaviour unit. It's 1000 words and due Friday.
The last assignment for this unit had the same word limit and I found it difficult to stay under, I think I'm gonna have the same issue based on what I'm required to do for the report.
The other problem I'm having is that I've read the case study several times and there are like little to no problems/issues raised in it, which means I'm gonna have to nitpick and bullshower... which I guess is nothing new. :P
At least the case study is on Facebook which is a topic I know a bit about.

Ouch, that sounds shower :(. How are you managing with all these group assignments? :-X
Nice work Nige! You got there eventually :P. 1000 words is fairly easy haha, I cracked out 1.5k words last week for a proposal. Had a 15 minute presentation for it today infront of other Honours/Masters/phD students and staff, also got asked questions and some suggestions. Also may have made a contact for my project to help out :o. Then this morning had to do a 30-40 min presentation that was pushed to 50 minutes due to questions being asked. I had to do it at 9am so was hopped up on coffee for it :P.
Oh boy this assignment! 2:20 and going strong. Should hopefully be done by 4 #earlynight #whythefloweramIonFF

Only got one on June 20th and it sounds like its gonna be straightforward so I'm a little worried.
21st, 23rd, 25th and 30th June for me. Go to Melbourne for a getaway from the 4th-8th June so I'm glad I still have time afterwards to prepare :)
4th, 7th, 13th & 14th for me.
Annoyingly the Queens Birthday match is on the 13th... I'll be able to watch it (albeit on TV) as it is a 9am exam, but not without stressing about the next day :-X
6th, 8th, 14th and 16th for me
With a 40 page group assignment due in there sometime too :-[
Only the 13th and 16th here (plus an in-class test on the 27th because this lecturer is a lad and hates exams as much as we do). The one on the 13th starts at 6pm which is going to be very annoying to have to get the train then the bus home at 9pm
Currently on 90% and 84% in those units so should be good hopefully, only have one more assignment to go that's due in 9 days and I haven't started, have three more due between the 20th and 27th that I've already finished!
15th, 16th, 21st
Not too bad
17th and 21st, love that I have the gap in between. Exams should be fine, all about committing to the study!
I'm feeling like a Melbourne trip celebration is on the cards after though..!
I dreamt last night that I was still at uni and had two exams today that I hadn't studied for... Dark times.

Does anybody else have one lecturer who you never seem to score well with? I swear my highest assessment grade with him has been about a 58 across like 4 units, while my total average is like a 65 and I'm usually scoring easily above that recently. Very suspicious...
I've had a couple of harsh markers.
The guy I've had for drama this semester I had for media first year and I failed that.
The dude I've got for business is for of a businessman than a teacher and admitted to being a harsh marker.
Speaking of drama though, gotta do my performance today at my high school. It's more or less a stand up routine with some bits of improv chucked in. I've got this thing of looking down when I perform if I get nervous which happens quite a bit (read: pretty much every time) and so I'm hoping to actually make fun of that and use that as part of my act.
I was originally gonna have a mate help me out as an extra but he sent me a text yesterday saying he's had health issues for the past week and won't be able to come in today which is shower, so I basically had to adapt half of the routine. Oh well, I guess I can make a point of that.

Different area, but for me it just depends on how bright the rest of your class is.
I'm in one tute this semester with people who clearly aren't very clued into the course work - wrote what I thought was a pretty decent essay - got a H1 (HD equivalent). In another class with very articulate, intelligent people - wrote what I thought was a killer essay - got a H2A. It's all just weighting in my experience.

Does anybody else have one lecturer who you never seem to score well with? I swear my highest assessment grade with him has been about a 58 across like 4 units, while my total average is like a 65 and I'm usually scoring easily above that recently. Very suspicious...
Different area, but for me it just depends on how bright the rest of your class is.
I'm in one tute this semester with people who clearly aren't very clued into the course work - wrote what I thought was a pretty decent essay - got a H1 (HD equivalent). In another class with very articulate, intelligent people - wrote what I thought was a killer essay - got a H2A. It's all just weighting in my experience.
Yeah but not all units are scaled or marked according to other people's results. Some classes they're happy if everyone gets an HD or if everyone gets a P.
I don't like harsh markers but I appreciate it. At least you know that you can improve. Think of it this way, if everyone was a harsh marker, the quality of graduates would improve dramatically because there would be a lot more people failing. If the quality improves significant, industries become more pleased with your unis graduates and therefore when you graduate, you're looked in a better light.
Been working on a group project this semester and have somehow ended up in the somewhat enviable position where I have nothing to do for it. And i've done nothing all semester either. But my group doesn't care? idk if I should just ride this out :P

I recognised a lot of people graduating with me yesterday as completely inadequate yet our uni is very well respected in industry. I think what industry cares more about is the individual showing good grades (Ps get degrees but not jobs...), having good extra curricular experience, and knowing how to not look like an idiot when applying for a job. At least, that's how it is in my experience.

not sure I agree, I have got jobs without even sending in my marks. I have my GPA on my resume but i think people just saw i had a degree from XX university. depends on field of course.
But I would love to have an option in Australia where its really hard to even get a pass grade.

Except that it is getting less and less respected. My degree in particular is recognised as a Masters degree in Europe, however only until 2018 due to the whole Melbourne Model destroying our education.
Long story short:
- International students see masters in two years from one of Australias best uni, awesome! Pay full fee upfront = lots of cash for melb uni
- Monash is like boy oh boy wowee we want in on this. Let us make postgraduate courses and charge lots for international kids
- In order to get accredited post grade courses, it has to be harder than undergrad
- How do they do this when some courses (like mine) are already on the same level as some Masters courses in Europe? Dumb down the undergrad...
It's all about the $$$$$$$$$ and not about the education
This is only just happening now, give it a few years and we will see how respected our Monash uni graduates are

thats fair enough, my masters was super intensive and was struggling to pass, largely because my undergrad was so chill.
I reckon i could have done my 3 year degree in 2 years if it was more intensive.
the other thing is tutors often have to spend more time helping others catch up then actually teaching those grasping the info. I know thats being abit elitist but rather then doing say micro 1 with 1000 students there could be an advanced micro 1 with only like 100.

What degree do you do?
Some lecturers are looking for very specific writing styles etc.... I once got a fail in a draft report because I wasn't using standard paragraph structures.

Sport Management, it isn't anything super technical and just normal report styles - have never had any comments on any assessments about anything technical.
can you get feedback from the lecturer?
First VCE exam down, received my most recent Sac result 70 minutes before, got 98% which was a nice confidence booster before the exam today.
Got this 1500 word organisational change plan to write. Told myself I'd start it on Wednesday but that didn't happen. Then told myself I'd start it yesterday, that didn't happen either. Been up for like 3 hours and it's nearly midday and I still haven't created a word doc for it yet. Knowing me, I'll prioritise watching footy over the weekend. It's due Monday.
But seriously, who the flower decides it's a good idea to have an assignment due like two weeks after we finish semester?

Those who think organisational change is a structured management methodology that will impact on their students learning :o
Slacker Nige :P. I had something due today but submitted it on Wednesday after starting it on Wednesday, just so I can focus on other stuff this weekend, like Essendon's 2nd win ;).

Mid Year Exams complete and the 4 Day Weekend Begins 8)
I have my exams next week and only have the 4 scheduled across Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday, meaning a 4 day weekend 8)
Not looking forward to it though. Struggling in Maths B, but it's probably the hardest subject I do. Economics and English is just flowerloads of writing and siting TOS for music so can hopefully stay that way 8)
Lucky guys get a 4 day weekend!
I have an exam on Monday so have to travel to the venue with public transport early in the morning so that'll be fun... But then get a 1.5 for my last exam so should end up alright once I get this one out of the way!
But 4 exams in 3 day period is always rough Richie, but hopefully aren't too bad as sounds like you should be fine 8). Besides on maths, but got the weekend still!
Orchestra won the regional fanfare final last night. The top 5 bands from around the state get to go down to Brisbane for the final, so really hoping we get in the top 5.

She was apparently very dodgy, they basically knew she was cheating in some way from the toilet block, and eventually noticed one of the cistern lid things was very slightly ajar after a while searching. Bingo, a nice Rose Gold iPhone.
10/10 for creativity though, hadn't heard of that one before

Fifty Fun Things To Do During An Exam
You should not attempt these things during an actual exam. The following is meant for entertainment purposes only. :o
1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh geez, better get cracking" and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.
2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"
3. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol.
4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor's left nostril.
5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm so sure you can hear me thinking. " Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
6. Bring cheerleaders.
7. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand any of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who are you? Where's the regular guy?"
8. Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc. . . ). Play with the volume at max level.
9. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
10. Bring pets.
11. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.
12. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas. "If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
13. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
14. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.
15. Come down with a BAD case of Turet's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
16. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
17. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
18. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
19. Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay, be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if they are allowed to stay.
20. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
21. Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.
22. Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and true/false. If it is a multiple choice exam, spell out interesting things (DCCAB. BABE. etc. . ).
23. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
24. Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "Forget this!" and walk out triumphantly.
25. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i. e. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink)
26. Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
28. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the class is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged. Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take the exam.
31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say "you don't really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of our Lives is on!!!"
32. Bring a water pistol with you.
33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.
35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
36. Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with sword and shield.
37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.
38. Bring cheat sheets for another class (make sure this is obvious. . . like history notes for a calculus exam. . . otherwise you're not just failing, you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment "Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit. "
39. When you walk in, complain about the heat.
40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.

42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do before concerts start.
43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.
45. Bring one pencil with a very sharp point. Break the point off your paper. Sharpen the pencil. Repeat this process for one hour.
46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc. . . sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.
47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.
49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say "it helps me think. " Bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you so".
50. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor xxxx is a Terrible Teacher"

flower ya
I'm now at that point where I just don't even give a flower anymore. Bring on tomorrow.
I smashed my one yesterday, like every question I had pretty much exactly studied for and remembered what I studied - was out of there in half the time and wrote pretty lengthy responses. All the work I did for the unit was two assignments and study the exam revision slides too!
Got my last one Thursday, relatively prepared. Only a 2 hour one luckily
Pros of 6pm exams:
- get the whole day to study more so you don't forget everything from the night before
- especially good when you have an exam the day before like I did yesterday
Cons of 6pm exams:
- peak hour traffic while driving there
- shower if you have an exam the next day
- it's at flowering 6pm
I started with a 6pm exam. I take public transport so got in early. It was freezing though since winter :(. Spring it should be alright. It is handy for the sleep in but much prefer 2pm exams as can sleep in and still a little time to revise without trying to remember too much. Blame the intake being so high this year, had to cater for more students :(.
I've gotta say, exam marking is quite interesting and the handwriting I've seen :P.
First exam tomorrow, 8am start so I'll be chasing a 6am train from my station - loving the no license due to medical reasons lyfe.

Does anybody else have one lecturer who you never seem to score well with? I swear my highest assessment grade with him has been about a 58 across like 4 units, while my total average is like a 65 and I'm usually scoring easily above that recently. Very suspicious...
Continued: My four results last semester (as in the one just ended) were 81, 75, 70, and 52.
Semester before that 70, 67, 62, and 56
Semester 2 2014 were 68, 64, 60, and 56
And Semester 1 2014 were 65, 61, 56, and 50 (after a supp)
Same lecturer for the lowest score each semester (I didn't have him semester 1 2015) :/ average 67% without him there compared to 53.5% with him...
Pretty happy with a HD and two Ds this semester tho :D
I got a D and 3 low Ps lol. Survived supps by like 2% :P
Didn't even realize results came out today :P
2 Cs and a D, basically what I expected
Think mine drop on Thursday, so still waiting.
Stressing over one result which I feel is make or break.
Just got an email (probably sent to all students though) regarding NF results which are basically an interim fail but gives you a chance to complete a supplementary assessment to pass. I hope it doesn't come to that.
Good luck Nigey, can't say I've ever received one of those emails though :-X (although I have failed a unit before and didn't get an email like that as well anyway)
Yeah, so apparently it was sent to everyone. Didn't like the timing though. :P
Did well so far in Honours. Better than expected in 1 subject, worse than expected in another (but both ended with 71) and then a HD for my other one which basically all the Honours students received cause the lecturer was a lenient marker and also cause I saved a copy of the 2014 exam before it was deleted, which happened to be the exam we had :P.
Also got solid student evaluations for my subject so may have a job next sem as well 8).
straight distinctions
the 84 burns my soul though.
Yeah, shame on that HD for ruining the streak of Ds :-X.

you need 85 for a HD at usyd :(
Oh wow, that sucks since so close :(. Yeah it's 80 elsewhere and I've had a solid 3 79s in the past :(.
Fairly sure all the SA unis are 85. Mine definitely is anyway :P
Passed everything!
One semester of electives left and then finally done!
Pretty sure all the marks are done by state, so hence why some people have HD as 80+ and others 85+.

I actually liked the 2 hour classes in the bachelor
rather that then having to come into uni on different days for lectures. Knock it out in one shot.
From my 6 semesters (including this one just started), I've only had 2 classes not be 3 hours (bachelor degree), and those were 2 hour lectures with a 1 hour tute straight after :P
In other news, I'm going to have to come back next year to do my final unit :/ at least I'm getting my major in marketing now

It depends on both the unit and the lecturer. One of my units is Distributed Computing, which has a lot of Computer Architecture stuff which gets pretty hard to pay attention to for 2 hours non-stop, especially when this lecturer basically never stops for a break halfway through.
Others can be ok if the lecturer allows for more interaction with everyone, but this is rarely the case.

I think he was quoting cause in Australia it's Honours (with a u :P ). Could be wrong though haha. Honours for me it's 3 hours worth of lectures but split into 1.5 hours each. Almost through and have to work harder on this project over the next 2-3 months.
luck you le, usyd doesn't do conceded passes under any circumstances... if you fail a subject your best case scenario is that they count it as a discontinue not fail (and that's if you were like hospitalised or suffering from severe mental illness :P )
goodluck on it!
Gotta gear up to take off for my first tute of the year, should be interesting. Missed out on the lecture for it too, so it might be interesting to see how that impacts things.
Going in for a 3pm tute is a bit of a drag, but definitely prefer that to going in at 10, sitting through a 2 hour lecture with nothing to get me through and then a 3 hour break with the same.
What is a conceded pass?
Quote from: PowerBug on August 02, 2016, 03:15:24 PM
What is a conceded pass?
I believe it's not considered a pass or a fail, but still goes towards your degree and you get the credit points. Usually a grade between 45 and 50.

Yeah spot on, when someone has failed a unit due to extraordinary circumstances and the uni basically says, all things being equal we would have assumed you to pass.
Forming groups for an assignment due in 2 (and 3) weeks time in class this arvo, yay.
So I officially play in the best school ensemble in the state! Orchestra won fanfare last night ;D
This thing almost slipped off the front page of the Front Bar. :o
Anyway, got an 800 word Philosophy essay to do. Shouldn't be too difficult, but I've said that a thousand times, maybe more. :P At least I can bullshower and it could still make sense and be relevant, great subject tbh. Due midday tomorrow but the plan is to get it done by some time this arvo, wish me luck.

I said "look guys, I've done these group assignments before. You do this, you do that, send it to me a week before the deadline and I'll compile, edit/re-write your bit and hand it in for us"
2789 word report done. Was due at 4pm today (i.e. in 8 mins). Had done about 650 as of last night. Holy shower.

Actually had to pull rank and be like "while I'm not the best student ever, I've done enough of these that I'm pretty sure we'll be fine, especially for a first year subject where the lecturer's a chill dude who admitted he won't even mark that harshly."
So the procrastination is real today.
Determined to do at least 500 of the 1000 words today so I don't lose my mind doing the whole thing tomorrow.
Uni on a Sunday is great :P

I did this for the first 3 years of my degree. From last year and this year I at least do part of it before the last day, cause I can't pull those all nighters I use to thankfully for my health (better sleep patterns finally).
It does give you some pressure, but so does doing it a week out :P. I've got some essays to do over the next couple of weeks so sorted it out as finish a draft report write up for one (pretty much fix what I did last week + add analyses again which is long as tables haha) by the weekend to send to supervisor, then next week can start and finish write up of an essay due the week after (article review of a lit review). Then also plan for what to do for a project that's due in a month. After the draft + essay is done, then can start that project + finish up my mini thesis (which is similar to the draft report but have to cater this one for what the coordinators are looking for). Busy busy made harder cause I've got family stuff going on and gf loves to go out :-X. Everything combined is why I have not been on much, probably calms down exam period though, the easy stuff :P.
So we have these weekly seminars for one of my units that we gotta do a mini report on each week (basically summarize the seminar and discuss how it related to the unit and shower like that). A few of my mates and I were wondering if they actually bothered to check through everything properly, so for the last one I just crapped on about some random shower for half of it, that wasn't related at all.

So going into this weekend I knew I had 4 assignments left - one per unit - all due in late October/early November. Started one Saturday night, finished it last night - 3000 words of great quality. Started the next last night and finished it earlier today, too easy. Both should be Ds if not HDs. Got cocky because I have only 2 left.
Then I looked at what I have to do in these last 2. Will surely be 25 pages of work each. flower my life :'(
You've got this Jukesy! Got time and knocked the other two out of the way so just need to get cracking 8).

I actually went better than expected! Got a HD for the presentation despite getting drilled on my statistical analysis by lecturers/researchers present, and apparently I presented clearly :D.
I also have a 2.8k essay due tomorrow which I left until after that presentation on Tuesday. Only read the article and took down notes. Started it today at around midday and with plenty of breaks in between have knocked out the minimum 2.6k words :D. Just need to re-read, structure it and reference and all good.
You're a machine HP! Nice work

Finding a bug in your code a bit before midnight and trying to fix it for the next hour and a half when the assignment is due at 9am the next morning is wonderful :)
That sucks :(. Hope you were able to get through it!
I've spent the last 4-5 hours changing the structure of my thesis and cutting it down to the page limit (from 50 pages down to 43) but much happier with it now.... Or until I think of something else to try :P.
Still at uni at quarter to 7, fuark. 3 more days... :P

Haha, am or pm? :o
I was in the 4th year software eng lab, and will likely spend all of tomorrow and Friday there as well :P
If that is 7:30am, crazy Spite!! :o :o
Thesis due tomorrow and relatively content with what I have at the moment. 42 pages all up, 12,000 words and like a combined like 23 Figures/Tables. Can't wait until I submit it in the morning!
So I have finished my last class for Year 12, considering where I was 12, or even 24 months ago mentally I never thought I'd end up going back to school & doing it.
I do have a combine 12 thousand words to write over the next 8 days though, so I'll be pretty relieved when I submit my final piece next Friday.

AM. I was so tired I thought you meant 6.45AM.
I don't think I have left uni before 7.30ish (PM) since about week 4 of this semester
Got an extension for an 1750 word sociology essay which was due Thursday, but I managed to get the deadline extended to Monday but with everything that's been going on lately (getting my wisdom teeth out, work etc) I still haven't had a chance to start it until now. Thankfully I managed to do a bulk of the research and whatnot in the weeks leading up to today which should help get it done in basically two days (since I'm working 9-5 on Monday and I'll probably be in no state or mood to finish it haha).
Time management since the mid-sem break has been terrible, so I'm probably gonna have to get an extension for my philosophy essay too. That's due next Friday, but I'm at Uni pretty much all of Tuesday (there'll be exam revision and stuff which is why I'll go in), have a in-class test (open book, praise the lord) on Wednesday and planned like a month ago to Dr Strange on Thursday and I don't rate my chances of getting the essay done in two afternoons.
But yeah, at least it's all over (apart from the sociology exam on November 24th) after that. 8)
Pretty much didn't get anything done since I was out most of yesterday so I'm basically doing the whole thing today. In a good head space though and I've done the research and broken it down well to make it pretty doable. I reckon I'll have it done by mid-late afternoon.
Hopefully the last Sunday I'll ever have to come into uni 8)
Got so much flowering shower to do within the next week I haven't started. Probably shouldn't of played non stop FIFA for the last 4 weeks

13,575 words into my huge assignment and I still have to do half a sustainability plan, a risk assessment, three years worth of monthly budgets, create maps for three facilities, do a self-critique, then print it all off and put it in a nice folder ::)
Have until Friday week at least so plenty of time
2000 word essay due Friday. 500 words in. Still only half know what I'm actually doing. Tomorrow should be an exciting day given I'm out until after lunch and I'm working all day Friday.
It's over.
Wow, it's scarily similar between us for the past 2 days Nige haha. I had a 3000 word assignment to do and managed it over the past 2 days and basically 750 words in on Wed (Data analyses, method and results) and finished it up today by around 7:30 as well :o. Ended up at 2.6k words, but included abstract and a table that should boost it up if he wants to include them :P.

Scratch that, Monday* and I ended up having another week of classes that I forgot about, but I'm all done now bar the last 2 assignments!
Me and my mates were pretty annoyed that our lecturer didn't give us any past exams or whatever to look at. We managed to get one off of someone who did the unit last year. Like 70% of the exam today was, word for word, that past exam. Ez 8)

Had a maths subject where they either didn't give past exams or gave edited ones because the lecturer just combined questions from old exams on the new one. Got access to like 6 years of past exams and 4 of the 6 questions were ones I'd seen before. Made for an easy exam.
When you get 22.5% on an assignment because somehow you totally misinterpret the assignment requirements :X flower me, now need 70% on the exam to scrape a pass in the unit (see: near-impossible tasks). So flowering annoyed right now, I was confident about what I had done too.
(http://i.imgur.com/pc7DBWy.jpg)
Damn, that sucks Jukesy :-\
I did that in an assignment once, and the rest of the assignment followed on from the question I flowered up, and I got like 20%. Got about 95% on the exam though haha, so that saved my ass!
Had my last core exam yesterday! So now just got an elective one tomorrow, and then a summer unit and I'm donion rings 8)
So first assignment did like a quarter of it, handed it up late. Still passed. Second assignment tried harder completed the whole thing even handed it up on time and failed hahaha

To pass the unit for my three exams I need to score:

thats a terrible idea so your saying you should just need to average 50 to pass uni?
Always felt uni is too easy and obviously because it makes money but its getting easier and easier so anyone can get a degree with minimal effort.
personally wouldn't mind it raising to 60% for a pass. Its abit crazy if someone can graduate getting barely better then half the answers right.
If i went under 70% then i considered it failing a unit and not knowing enough to have a good grasp on the information. Luckily I only did that once and dont need to know that knowledge.
Anything under 95 is a fail for me, and I'm not even Asian.
Anything under 101 is a fail for me because I have a failure complex.

yeah its true to an extent but as an example I intentionally picked difficult units which would actually help me in my career, others picked fluff units which are easy to destroy. they all got hired because when people look they take a 85% average student over a 75% even if you do much tougher units.
Some of the units i could have gone 90%+ but picked units which a 70%+ is tough

"When everyone's super, no one is!"
Employers still look at academic transcripts and all that so the people who do well are still at some advantage, but that advantage would probably be a bit less due to what you're saying
yeah its true to an extent but as an example I intentionally picked difficult units which would actually help me in my career, others picked fluff units which are easy to destroy. they all got hired because when people look they take a 85% average student over a 75% even if you do much tougher units.
Some of the units i could have gone 90%+ but picked units which a 70%+ is tough
Yeah that would present a big issue in some degrees, especially like a commerce or business type. Sucks if the people hiring don't know or care to know the difficulty of units too
Have always said Australia needs a way of differentiating for those who really want to study, for example in commerce half the people have no idea what they want to do and often are there because they dont know what else to do or their parents have made them go.
There should be an Advanced Commerce or Advanced Economics Stream which is much much tougher and obviously more respected. A degree which is actually tough to pass as i think just giving a HD isnt enough.
its why i did an honours as it was bascially that however the 3 years i spent in a bachelor could have easily have been 1.5 to 2.
Just do what I did and use charm and charisma to get a job (I'm just kidding it was one lucky break and everything else just fell into place from there).

Agree same for me one lucky break and everything fell from there.
sad thing is charm doesn't work if you dont get an interview.
Smashed my first exam today, definitely 70+ if not 80 - too bad it was in the one I needed 9% to pass the unit and not 70 :/
Was the old here's six questions answer five of them, knew exactly what to write for four of them and bluffed the last one (shower about intellectual property, didn't study it but I have some knowledge about it).
10 minute multi modals can kill themselves
Well, today was my last exam unless I stuffed one up enough to get a supp, or I did too well in one to get a supp (In other words I am fairly sure I've just failed the subject) :P

Failed that subject can confirm. Just waiting on one more result now which is the one I'm unsure whether I did well enough or not :-\
I have to wait until December 12th for my results! Have one subject that will be very touch and go (needed 70% in the exam to pass and I think I did reasonably well), and I leave to go on holiday on the 18th so not a very big window for a supp :X
Only 1152 minutes left in classes for the calendar year, almost there :P
Finally got my results back: 76, 67, 61...37
Need a 70 to pass the exam and got a 40 ;-; hopefully can get a different unit substituted in for it to do next year because I don't want to do that shower unit again (shower content shower lecturer who didn't teach me anything, literally). Gotta do 3 units in my fourth year, hopefully can pass each of them so I can graduate.
Happy I managed a 68 in the final, 50 million word (or so) assignment for the biggest unit for the course tho! Especially with a notoriously harsh-marking lecturer.
Really pissed off. School was going to do Mary Poppins for the musical this year and it was going to be awesome. For the last 50 years every 2nd year the school has done a musical, and 9/10 times do really really good shows. But AFTER all the auditions have been done they decide to postpone it to next year, because there's apparently nowhere to perform the musical (civic theatre was nocked down last year and is reopening next year). They might let us be in it next year, but it will be really weird being in a school musical after we've graduated, and half the year level won't be in town next year.
And to make things worse, they're going to be auditioning people for next year this year while us year 12s are still around.

Live in Cairns, Civic theatre's knocked down, convention centre is like 45k for one day and the tanks have screwed us over. We argued we could have done it in the school hall, but principal said it was to hard. This year is our school centenary as well, so it hurts even more.
The latest goss is that the music co-ordinator who has been at the school for like a million years wasn't at the meeting where it was decided it would be called off, but had a phone call with the principal just after that ended in "we'll make a decision on Monday". Within hours we'd been told and it was with in the school newsletter.

How big is the school hall? Would have thought that would have been serviceable.
Even perform outside?
Tbh to me sounds like school politics though rather than an actual reason.

So can't do school hall because we'd have to install tiered seating
Apparently can't do outside in Cairns
It's all school politics. I think its the new principal trying to stamp his authority over the department that basically runs the school.

get a temporary stage installed? Get the woodwork or construction kids to do it as a project :P
So the musicals back on now :o
Word on the street is that the music co-ordinator who's been at the school for like 20-30 years (and controls where all the music teachers in the region work) wasn't in the meeting when they decided to cancel it, so I'm guessing she made some pretty big threats.
Apparently now it can be done in the school hall and it's not all too hard :P Got to love school admin.
Uni take 2 begins for me tomorrow, really cbf but ah well see how it goes :P

Haha yeah, had an interview at IBM a week and a half ago, and that went pretty well. They said they'd get back to everyone after like a month though. Applied for a few other positions but no luck with those unfortunately.
