agreed. ross gittins simply presents a single PERSPECTIVE on particular economic issues intertwined with some facts/statistics, but what he says should not necessarily be accepted as correct. don't be afraid to form your own opinion on the issues presented.

and also make sure that you look at the exchange rate in addition to everything that has been mentioned about net foreign debt/liabilities, and the balance of payments performance of the economy. :)

youd need finance major to do a cadetship with a bank.

LIFO is actually illegal in Australia according to accounting standards. This is because it is believed that the inventory remaining in ending inventory at the end of the accounting period does not reflect the current cost of inventory, so it is not an accurate valuation. The most commonly...

economic activity is more what PROMOTES economic growth - so economic activity would be things such as trade and investment which in turn lead to economic growth (which is an increase in real GDP). doing notes for economics should be done systematically - topic by topic - and make sure that...

per bladeys comment, they're normally offered in accounting. so you would have to major in accounting at uni.

haha thanks !! :) yeah just confirming what deswa1 said, I did write over 2000 words for one essay and 1900 and something for the other essay - and both received 20/20. in my opinion, quantity + quantity > quality > quantity and no quality. in saying that, you can still get 20/20 writing 1200...

It depends on the firm - in my case, I get 3.5 hours of time off to attend university lectures, which from what I've heard, is quite small compared to that offered by other firms.

The issue with not enrolling in a course at a particular uni that you get a first round offer from (and therefore waiting for a second round offer) is that you will end up getting all the leftover times in the course at the uni you get a second round offer from. This is because all the students...

To maximise success, you should try to integrate case studies into your notes under each relevant dot point. :)

no, this is actually correct. the growth rate of GDP is what determines the economic growth performance of an economy - as economic growth is actually a rate of change, we do not simply accept the GDP figure in isolation, but we consider it against the previous GDP figure in that economy, which...

I assume that you're referring to the work experience that is arranged by the university while you are undertaking your particular course? If so, this work experience is unpaid and you are typically only there for a restricted amount of time - however, what this does mean is that you are...

Yes, in most cases, the scholarship will cover a combined degree. However, what I suggest you do is that you look up your particular scholarship on the USYD website and read all the information that is available there about that particular scholarship, or peruse any information that was sent to...

Hi there! Basically, I have what is called a cadetship, which is essentially where you are gaining work experience while undertaking study at university. Most commonly, cadetships are offered in accounting (which is the type of cadetship I have), but I do know that cadetships are also offered...

GDP is also the key measure of economic growth performance in economies. :)

Depending on your circumstances, the grades you get in your first year and all years can be quite important - I personally am on a scholarship that requires me to achieve a distinction average per semester, so clearly I would have to be quite concerned about my grades each semester, irrespective...

hahah ! but it definitely doesn't come easy! wish it was all just handed to me without having to do anything! :P thanks! :) just keep slavin' away LOL. how about you? what have you been up to with uni?

thanks mate !! yeah it definitely wasn't expected at the time - especially with my subjects!!! :)

Yes, prestige does play a role and is one of the prime factors that drives many people towards selecting a particular course at a particular university. However, I do think that there is a bit too much emphasis that is placed on prestige nowadays, as many people believe that you are only "good"...

I would have thought it'd be too late - as the Preliminary course is supposed to be an introduction or transition into the Year 12 course equivalent. So if you did standard in Year 11, then you should really carry on with standard in Year 12. However, if you did Advanced in Year 11, then the...
