Re: If you move from a subject/university to another is your academic transcript wipe Fail = Academic and Financial penalty Discontinue Fail = Academic and Financial penalty Discontinue Not Fail = Financial penalty only It seems then that the only difference between a F and DF...

Israel is a pretty modern country and health services are very good. You can eat the food and drink the water without much risk of disease. I didn't get any vaccines before going over there on excavation.You should probably talk to doctor about it if you're concerned. There are heaps of...

I've been having similar issues the past 6 months or so and have found one of the most useful things is to keep your lecturers & tutors in the loop with what's going on. I know it seems a little odd divulging these things to people you don't really know that well, but you would be surprised how...

Best to contact the unit convenor rather than speculate yourself sick. It's very possible that you may be penalised, but perhaps the convenor will let it slide if you contact them immediately.

Re: Ive had enough. 100 percent gonna fail this elective. Pls help with options. Choices are: 1) Do nothing and fail. 2) At least try and maybe not fail. I don't go to USYD but i imagine your census date is well past by now, so no, you cannot drop a unit without incurring academic and...

Yep, if they ask for your transcript. Unless you change institutions the fail will always be there.

Yes, this is the fun thing about history, very few academics actually agree on things! What you generally tend to find is that there will be several camps; the traditionalists (who follow the most widely accepted view), the questioners (who are skeptical and like to poke holes in the...

So you're interested in Greece then? What do you mean you're skeptical about the primary sources?

Metaphor is far more subtle and complex than what you guys seem to be taught in school, i've attached a short article for those interested, very readable and illuminating! It may help you to more easily recognise and discuss the use of metaphor in texts.

I'm planning to get into language based intelligence in the airforce once i finish uni this year... IMO you just have to be really sure that it's what you want to do, you'll have hell of a time if you join with simply the money in mind.

Metaphors provide the audience with new understanding of an idea by rendering that idea in terms of another. IMO that is exactly what is going on here, put simply the metaphor is that birds are people. It is an anthropomorphic metaphor, the two are not mutually exclusive.

Vernacular does not simply mean spoken language; it is the language common to a specific group, rather than the wider lingua franca. Expanding from this, it can also refer to instances where the spoken language differs from the literary language. E.g. you can speak of specific legal...

I would be interested to know how you would grade this response, cem .

That's an essay?? O.o It was little over 300 words long, lol. The response is nice and clear, if a little on the simplistic side. I agree with the above; if it had been a 5-10 marker it would warrant a high (though not perfect) result. For a 25 mark essay question however, it's a bit...

Ibid refers to the very last citation you made. There are SO many referencing styles out there and many disciplines have their own preferred style. I would be making sure you are referencing the way your tutor/lecturer expects you to as you can and will lose marks for incorrect referencing at uni.

As far as i know you can't have a unit count for more than one degree requirement, but i would get your friend to ask an academic adviser to be sure.

Historical essays should deliver an argument to the reader in the utmost clear and concise manner. 'Flowery', overly sophisticated or verbose language tends to detract from your argument as it often prevents you from being clear and concise. While you might think you are impressing your reader...

*waves* If you search the unit codes on the coop textbook search it will show the cost of the course notes: http://www.coop.com.au/bookshop/action/DataSubjSelect

I had to scan bulk documents to pdf last year for a research project, it does work if you follow the instructions, but only for like 3 minutes before the machine locks you out (which kind of fucks you up if you're trying to create one large pdf). There IS a work around, but it's a bit...

Not sure if AHIS100 has textbooks, just course notes maybe... The AHIS140 textbook is new, it was only published late last year so i doubt you'll be able to find a second hand copy.
