    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Nope, carrying on as before working remotely and only coming into the office if absolutely necessary. Work is also supportive of helping us find alternate working arrangements if working from home isn't feasible/viable/effective.

    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I wonder if all businesses are going to just shut down and staff take sick leave/unpaid leave/etc?

    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I feel this is probably one of those myths which will spread over time... not to say it isn't a potential indicator of a weakened system, but I'd say there's probably more reliable ways of testing it (and I am not an expert on this).

    Possible to balance work & uni?

    Sounds pretty manageable to me. I wouldn't stress. It's good to balance things and you'll learn a lot of soft skills too along the way. (on a side note, I balanced FT work and FT study somehow without missing any classes... but I had a very flexible employment arrangement which let me work...

    How do state ranks work???

    I thought it was simply due to most students only see the marks rounded to a whole number but the state ranking process also takes into consideratio decimal points. I vaguely recall my IPT teacher showing me my real mark vs the rounded number I got on my HSC results.

    2020 IPT

    That being said I used that book just as a reference point but it wasn't my main textbook. I was interested in the topics and spent much of my time reading/googling/understanding the subject beyond what was in the books.

    But sometimes the new member title is coveted!

    IPT

    I would also take a step bak and work out/define what are the needs of the individuals, and how can a librarian support this?

    Accounting major vs Professional Accounting major

    I'm not familiar with the USYD syllabus but historically some universities had a professional accounting major to make it easier to hit all the prerequisites for post-grad qualifications (ie CA or CPA). If not for this, then (at least when I was in UNSW) you'd have to know what subjects you...

    Thoughts on IPT

    Then I guess that's the marvel of life. You keep trying things until you do. But I'd suggest that going for the easiest route/option in life may not always lead to satisfaction and fulfilment :)

    Thoughts on IPT

    I didn't find it to be a hard subject, but I put in the effort to do all the readings and exercises, and I saw it as an opportunity to learn/understand rather than just trying to memorise syllabus dot points/etc. ps. I've seen you post elsewhere on BoS - I'd suggest not just picking subjects...

    Thoughts on IPT

    I'm the opposite of Drdusk and I actually enjoyed IPT. I found of all the subjects I did during my HSC, it was probably the most useful in my longer term career in accounting (go figure). Being able to draw out a process flow chart, or understand how databases work, or how project...

    Study paper: survey on microjobs and freelancing in Uni or as fresh grad

    The questions are very narrow even though you ask for a 1-10 rating, and even then, I felt they were very leading. Don't get me wrong, I understand what you're trying to achieve but I feel that the results may be a bit tainted given the way you've framed the questions. ie they didn't feel neutral.

    Study paper: survey on microjobs and freelancing in Uni or as fresh grad

    Is this your survey? I don't think you'll get great responses or much meaning out of them given the way the initial questions are framed. They're extremely narrow/close-ended, and even though you ask for 0-10 ratings, the questions don't really lend themselves to that.

    Quora

    I find Quora too intrusive as it latched onto my role/experience and kept pushing relevant questions to me which I didn't want to answer publicly (or at least not with my title/company attached).

    Cherrybrook Technology High School become selective?

    Housing prices are influenced by many factors both the nature of the dwellings themselves as well as the location. Location isn't just the quality of schools in the area/catchment zones (although this may be a key factor for some), but also things like amenities, public transport, access to...

    Cherrybrook Technology High School become selective?

    Given the area, and how large a school it is, I don't see why they'd convert it to selective. Maybe a selective or acceleraed stream but I don't think they'd convert such a large school selective without opening up more high schools to replace the loss of capacity.
