    Avatar as a belonging text?

    Try to think about it from the examiner's point of view - they are going to have to read hundreds of essays, and lots of people will be using popular movies like Avatar. Give them something a big fresh. Also, while Avatar does deal with belonging, it is about as subtle and multi-layered as a...

    The King's Speech was great! If Colin Firth misses out on the Oscar two years in a row, I will be most upset. Off topic much?

    Hi everyone! I'm a 2009 HSC student offering online tuition in all levels of Preliminary and HSC English, Modern History and Visual Arts. I have past experience as a tutor, and prefer to work through email and Skype. However, I am willing to offer face-to-face tuition for students based in...

    *uac main offers thread

    Looking at those results, Towner, I think you probably will... Ahh, it is only 2:30. Too early to start refreshing the UAC homepage, methinks. Is the reason we probably won't be able to see our offers on 9pm that so many people will be on the site? Having to wait until it is less clogged up...

    Modern History Notes

    Anyone interested in tutoring for Modern History in 2011 can PM me - I have very detailed notes for WW1, Russia and the Soviet Union, Leon Trotsky (personality) and Conflict in Europe. I only provide these notes to my students, however. They took a long while to create, and would save a lot of...

    English Ext 2 VS Maths Ext 2

    The subjects could not be more different and it completely depends on what you prefer and how you are going in each subject. My advice is to keep both for a while, until you have a more clear idea of which you can succeed at. I think that you are more likely to go well in something that you...

    Orientation at UTS

    Well this is most disheartening. Guess I shall be crashing USYD's O Week parties. Sigh.

    Is it necessary to actually read Frankenstein?

    I didn't read it and I got 94 in advanced english. It is all about context, and cramming some good quotes into your head. I would recommend reading a bunch of essays on the topic instead, and make up your own interpretation in reaction to/ agreeing with the other opinions you looked at. And...

    Orientation at UTS

    Hey, What's orientation like at UTS? I know there are lots of faculty welcomes - are they worth attending? Also, is the fun part of orientation really only for one day (O day)? Obviously UTS orientation sounds a lot less epic than the orientation programs at USYD and UNSW, but is it a fun...

    Stationary and bags

    Regardless of the greater difficult, I'm very excited about starting Uni too. Looking forward to hitting Officeworks - oh the organisation... Haha.

    Who will be looking for love at Uni?

    So I can't be the only one excited about leaving my shitty hometown in a couple of months, meeting lots of interesting people at uni, and dating them. :love:

    Question on Uni offers

    I did the HSC in 2009, and defered my offer at USYD and had a gap year in 2010. Over the year, I've changed my mine about the course I want to do. I have to reapply through UAC to take up my offer - and I know you can put other courses higher up in your preferences if you want to. This might be...

    Social life at UTS

    Hi, Just wondering what the vibe/social life aspect of UTS is like? Do people know how to have fun inside the rather unimpressive building?

    Orientation camp for Undergraduate Law students?

    Hi, I hear there's a two night orientation camp for undergraduate law students held just before term starts. Just wondering if anyone has been on that camp in their first year, and if it was helpful, or not work going on. Thanks!

    Transfer to combined law at USYD

    Hi, just looking for some advice - My ATAR was 98.05. I'm keen to do Law/Arts (Media and Communications) at USYD, so I'm thinking I'll try to transfer after a year. Just wondering whether it would be better to do a year of Arts at USYD, or a year of Law/Media and Communications (Journalism)...
