Yeah, well with marketing (beyond the foundational courses) I guess having 70% weighting on exams is pretty harsh.

Graney, I agree. Like whatashotbyseve (is there anything shorter, perhaps? :)) in all my time at uni, I have yet to get an exam weighted below 60%. Not ideal, considering exams aren't exactly my cup of tea. But in all honesty, for my field of study I don't see any real alternative that would...

I agree in principle, but reality nudges me and tells me that those institutions that are making degree programs easier through certain subjects within the degree, aren't exactly going to be advertising the fact. Taking up a point mentioned earlier, I think there is a lot of merit in the idea...

Is the ideal of universities specialising in specific fields, really attainable? If so, how? Who decides which universities specialise in what fields, and on what basis?

Did they come back marked wrong? Oops. Do your own homework. :)

Agreed. Accounting is an example of this. The fact that the Big 4 firms accept graduates from across all disciplines, especially B.Eng grads, and all the only restriction placed on them is they have to spend longer completing their CA/CPA studies. 20 years earlier, you'd be laughed at if you...

Unleashed: The end of 'going to Uni' The article is an bit of a bore imo, but the comments underneath are present some interesting points of discussion. I think a lot of the problem with universities these days is that they're trying to be all things to all people. This dilutes their worth. We...

Nah, I came afterwards. :o

Where were you sitting? Think I spotted you a few times.

a) 39.67m/s b) 16.34m/s These are 100% correct. :D

I didn't know it had a TV schedule running down the side. :)

Where do you source your online news from? Do you use difference sources for National vs International news? What's the most politically biased? The most trashy/appeal-to-the-masses source? Probably obvious here though. *coughDTcough* I'd probably say mine has been a mix between The...

You're doing what with my gf? Take a camcorder. ;)

That's what I thought, and was why I was tripped out. My eyes aren't that bad, are they? :/ That sucks balls. 1% penalty for every 10 words over? Wtf? Usually it's something reasonable like they give a 10% buffer over and under the word count. Shifty. Yeah, what's happening Wednesday that I...

Not really a quirk, but I think I spotted that HalcyonSky dude in uni today, around the cafeteria at lunch tyme. Was in a rush to get to class though, so didn't really spot him proper. But the hair and mopey face looked similar. /contribution. PS. Yeah M, sup?

re: The Official Cricket Thread Cloning tyme!!!

re: The Official Cricket Thread Saffas still have a lead of 350+ with 2 days remaining. I don't know where to from here. We get skittled cheaply and they win or we bat long enough to scrape a couple of hundred runs lead, then send them for half a day. I really don't know. Luckily the series...

I tried to laugh, but it didn't happen. :(

re: The Official Cricket Thread Why Hodge and Rogers? I'd like to see: Katich Hughes Ponting (c) Clarke Hussey North Haddin Krejza Siddle Johnson Clark Bollinger Hilfenhaus Clarke and North also for their part-time bowling.

re: The Official Cricket Thread Strategy for SA? Keep on batting today and push for 800+ to bat Aus completely out of the game, and then go for the kill? All I know is we're screwed, McGain, McDonald need to be the first to go. Siddle and Johnson need to be rested all the way until the Ashes...
