    Proposed Program Form

    Hi there! I can help. But first what are you hoping to do degree/major/minor/unit wise? Trust me, we've all been there and the PPF is the worst.

    Macquarie is so easy!!!

    My brother just completed what I suppose you could call technical units: computer science units and the like. His cohort was not allowed to use notes etc. Usually only first year subjects allow such, I do know a primary education unit does allow a 'cheat sheet'.

    Full time/ Part time degrees

    No. If you were doing a degree which takes 4 years full time it will take 8 (assuming you're taking a full 4 units per sem) years to complete. If it is 3 in FT then it will be 6 in PT. Of course, you can always do summer units (session 3) to speed it up.

    Mhis121

    To my mind, primary sources should be read to support historiography. We didn't engage in any historiography. Relative to my other HIS units, MHIS121 was by far more work (NOT that its bad) but the annoying fact was that was no 'pay off' in the assesment where we applied all that reading. Baker...

    Mhis121

    Good News everybody! As I understand it the 2013 Convener is not taking the unit for 2014. Instead, you get a new convener!This is perhaps the best bit of news as the 2013 guy made the subject awfully annoying. Here's why: 1. Lecture style. The 2013 guy would walk up and down the the stairs...

    Questions regarding MHIS, AHIS and EDUC (High School) welcomed here.

    Sure thing. So the creation of a twitter account is used for task 2 - desiging your own blog with 2-3 group members. The whole group creates one twitter account which is supposed to be used for communicating your progress / final URL of the blog to your prac tutor. It's a rather dodgy idea, my...

    Transfer help

    1. No idea, but I do know that despite what people say as Mac Uni being 'second rate' re: Law and Business that Law at Mac Uni is especially hard in Year 1 Session 2. I have a fourth year Law friend who says that, as usual, the fight to get intern-ships is savage. 2. Most likely high 90's. 3...

    Questions regarding MHIS, AHIS and EDUC (High School) welcomed here.

    Hi. I'm almost at the end of my 1st year doing a BA with a double history major in Modern History and Ancinet (Greece, Rome and LA) with a diploma of education (high school) which is now called a Bachelor of Education, for memory. I used BoS a lot for help in picking my units so I wanted to...

    Information Tech at Macquarie

    Hi there. Mt brother is doing Info Tech. 1st year is very demanding, especially comp115. DMTH137 can also be tricky. Mac Uni has some VERY strong international connections so that can lead to good job prospects. There is the chance to do intern work and they have a HUGE, active IT society.

    How many words should a modern history essay be?

    Im so tired about people stressing about word limits/suggested number of pages. Focus not on the length of your response but on the quality of your argument and how crisp/clear your writing style is.
