Hello :) So, I was just wondering because I realised that I never figured it out before...does USYD grade on a curve? Or is it maybe dependent on what faculty/course/unit it is? So far all I could find on the website was an indicator of what grade equates to what band, like and 87%...

Oops, got really distracted with uni and forgot to reply to this, sorry! It's University of Sydney, and it's an education curriculum unit. Incidentally, I misread the due date and it turned out I had about 3 extra days than I initially though to complete it but I was still really tight for...

I was taking a quick break from working on assignments and started wondering about something. What is your opinion on a unit (which begins midway through semester and only lasts for half a semester by cramming things into only 7 weeks) having for the first assessment a 2500 word essay which...

This is probably a bit of a silly question but I wanted to check; for my English essay the unit outline says submit at SLAM general office. They mean the dropboxes in the building right? Not that for some assignments you have to actually hand it to the people in the actual office? Probably...

I regret doing mathematics and not general. I thought at the time of subject selection that I absolutely HAD to have done it to get into a particular uni course and when I found it that wasn't true I figured, eh, I'll just stick with it. Unfortunately I suck at maths and having a bunch of...

There is a chance that you could get away with it, but there is also a chance that it will make the exam very difficult for you. If you can manage to find the time I strongly suggest actually reading the text. My personal experience is that reading the text gives you better understanding than...

Hi catlover, I had a look at your survey and wanted to ask a question and make a few observations. Have you had your CAFS teacher look at this particular survey? It has been a few years since I did my own CAFS IRP but I have had to devise surveys for primary research for uni since and was...

Jeez, calm down buddy. I was merely correcting your terminology.

That probably wasn't worded as well as I would have liked. What I meant was that (based off of my research and understanding) "Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is God's "only-begotten Son", and that his life began in heaven. He is described as God's first creation and the "exact...

I'm confused now; I always thought that once an unborn child reaches a certain point it does have rights. I thought because there is a certain point in a pregnancy where abortion is not legal I assumed it was because the child has gotten sovereign rights. And since the unborn child in this case...

Christianity does have many denominations (e.g. Protestant, Anglican, Methodist, and others) but Jehovah's Witnesses are not one of them. A core belief in Christianity is in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, that he is the only way to God/Heaven. Jehovah's Witnesses deny the deity...

Thanks for the replies :) I wasn't really sure if weeks were 100% standard for everything in the uni. Either way, I have essays to work on and wouldn't mind getting to Fisher library anyway, so I'll head in and duck my head in just in case classes are on. I'm pretty sure they won't be but I...

Hello :) This might be a silly question, but I would like it clarified anyway. So I have two education units (teaching English 1 and teaching history 1) which begin in week 7. The unit outlines don't have any dates, just say week 7 is when lectures/tutes/seminars begin. Am I right in...

I don't feel like dropping a subject would do all that much good to be honest. I think the stress of knowing that I would be behind would just make things that little bit harder to cope with. Obviously I would love to find a job just for financial security but even if I could find one (no luck...

Thank you, I have considered doing this.

Not sure if being sarcastic or not, so just in case I would like to point out that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians. Sad story. I wonder how this could play out in the future, given differing viewpoints on when the foetus/embro is its own person if ever. At what point would the state be...

Hi, I'm not really sure if there is anything that can be done for this but I thought that I may as well ask for advice anyway. Long story short, my home situation has gotten pretty stressful; a member of my family who is living with me (and I am not financially able to move out, even if I...

Thanks very much :)

I plan to at some stage :) I probably won't spend a great deal of time on things other than readings/surfing email with the tablet, but it will be nice to have the option if there is something like an essay that I want to spend some time on at uni. Whaaaattttt? O.O For free, really? You mean...

I re-watched The Fox and the Hound for the first time since I was very little and I was bawling. Although several Disney films have had that effect on me...
