Will post another comment about the units later. LOL feeling lazy at the moment Re unit outlines - be aware though that many units do change since convenors like to mix it up a bit. I don't think there is a single law unit that will not have some form of class participation requirement. Which...

LOL you mean it's the only reason to pick a unit. Hmmmmm wonder what storm troopers' tastes in that area would be.... R2-D2?

Let's put it this way, to explain would lead to a potential defamation case. More importantly, the unit is compulsory, so you don't get a choice, one way or the other :) Foundations with Shayne is great, the cases are pretty interesting and of the four subjects, you'll probably enjoy...

Don't feel that you have to pick a course with the pressure of needing to "use" all of your ATAR. If you are considering the B Commerce, think about what majors you want to do and compare the different programs to see which uni offers you the most interesting subjects etc that aligns with your...

LOL don't give them to him/her, they're probably working for UNSW. The lack of a reason = something to hide?

Only warning is that the 3 units you picked all have very heavy reading (heavy not in terms of quantity but in that it can be quite difficult) - equity can be quite complex and convoluted, jurisprudence - lol, you can re-read the same sentence over and over and still not understand what the...

Oh, and don't think being at the back of the room helps either he likes to call them the "bar flies".... and he has a brilliant memory with names :O

What kind of things are you looking for in your degree?

"Xc" means composite mode: http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/2011/pdf/Glossary.pdf - page 6, under sub-heading "mode of offering" ---> definition: "Units designated Xc are offered in the composite mode, ie: no on-campus attendance for lectures or practicals [attendance at tutorials may be...

andyfg88 - you should put down the names of the lecturers, you'll get more accurate feedback that way. A unit may have a brilliant description that makes the subject sound very interesting, but delivery of a unit is very important... dynasty - S Carter is a good lecturer, clear and direct, you...

At least you can get the pain over and done with at the same time. LOL maybe the pain of the two units will cancel out each other. Good luck mate!

You can look at the units (available in online handbook on website) in the degree and look at what the prerequisite math is required or whether there are recommended HSC math levels etc.

Haven't studied at the city campus, but the content of the degree should be the same at both campuses. The difference would mainly be the culture of the campus and the access to services. The city campus location is convenient if you want to find food/entertainment/meet up with friends/looking...

+1 Unless someone has access to the list of those who have applied for the course and the ATARs of those people, no one can tell you what the cut-off will be. Just make sure that you have the desired course as your first preference even if you don't have the shown ATAR (from last year) and then...

There's a lot of complaints/opinions on the Pscyhology student society group page on Facebook - have a look there to get an idea of which units are generally considered most challenging. The page also lets you pose questions to other psych students.

Jurisprudence - still don't know what hit me. It's actually a very interesting subject and if you like reading/philosophy/critical thinking etc - you will really enjoy it. But it's quite hard to understand what the assessments want from you and difficult to write a strong essay arguing something...

Penelope is good in Family Law, if you are interested in the subject, give it a go - there are placements available in the subject as well. Re PAL leader/resume - anything can be put into your resume, provided you know how to use it to sell yourself and it is relevant to the position that you...

+1 in terms of the assessment structure - for constitutional law, the 2 essay assessment means that you can choose to only focus on two narrow areas of the course and get good marks without exposing your complete lack of understanding of the area. In terms of strategically getting good marks in...

Well, you have survived jurisprudence, so surely you have courage! :) I don't think anyone has quite figured out what a student needs to do in order to get a good mark in Business Organisations...

The unit isn't so much focused on business/commerce stuff, it's more challenging from a legal perspective, and the main reason that people complain about the unit and have nightmares about it is *hint hint* the way the unit is delivered The content itself is quite straightforward and people...
