Just wanted to put my 2 cents in here as I found this post super helpful in choosing the course: Overall it as a pretty interesting course, but there is DEFINITELY a huge focus on the christian perspective. I also felt that some of the lectures were slightly skewed in favour of Christian views...

Re: Missed cutoff for BA (Pub. comm) at UTS by1.75 ATAR pts. Any other ways to get in I've had friends do the same thing at USYD and get into their courses successfully despite being a couple of points below the cut off... so yes, i was being serious. I'm hoping they take into account the...

Re: Missed cutoff for BA (Pub. comm) at UTS by1.75 ATAR pts. Any other ways to get in thanks! I think I were to get into something else first i'd probably do a BA in Social Inquiry and then transfer. They're both under the Social Sciences faculty so i'm not sure whether it'd still be dealt...

Unfortunately bonus points aren't offered for the course and i really can't be bothered transferring into it and wasting another year. is there ANY other way i could get in? Some have suggested writing to them. If so, what types of references do you guys recommend putting in? Any tips at all...

So we have to write an essay using the 2009 HSC question "understanding nourishes belonging, a lack of it prevents it" (one prescribed text, one related) I'm confused as to how to approach answering this... Do I show how understanding nourishes belonging etc in both my texts and focus on...

I'm chinese and have realllllly fine and light leg hairs that aren't really visible unless you closely inspect my legs haha. Same goes for arm hair too. It's the best when you're a girl. It goes for head hair too though. Mine is extremely fine, naturally quite light and dead straight and my...

LOL you think year 10 is bad? year 11 is a billion times harder. I did nothing all year in year 10 and managed to get mainly band 6s in the school cert. This year, i've worked SO much harder yet my results arent nearly as good as they were in year 10. Careful what you wish for guys

I have tried to speak to her but she's new and has been largely unhelpful. She simply repeats the most blatantly obvious things i.e. think about what subjects i like and look into possible professions in those fields

Hi BOSers, it's just hit me that year 12 is going to begin in about 4 weeks and i have no motivation whatsoever. As you can see, i'm aiming for a UAI of about 93 and i really thought that was possible at the beginning of the year. Since then..things have changed i think a part of the...

Hahah some really bigoted posts in this thread. Nobody except the indigenous people of australia can claim this country as theirs. Also, maybe some of you should stop being ignorant and singling out extremist examples and using them to represent entire religions/cultures. To the people...

was acing year 11 in the first half, not so much now. but im planning to become a complete hermit to get the ATAR i want. Its going to be a terrible year...so i just want it to be over and done with!

Hi fellow BOSers, I have an english prelim exam tommorrow morning and i have no idea how i should study! I'm going to be writing an essay on 1) Othello 2) comparison between The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger and Six Degrees of Separation (a film by Fred Schepisi) Do you guys think it...

Ok from a year 12 perspective it may seem like i'm being over dramatic or whatnot but keep in mind that year 11 is the most stressful thing i've ever done in my life. I have no doubt that when i look back on year 11 next year i'll be seeing things differently but for now i'm still learning how...

I'm in year 11 this year and boy am i struggling! It was all sweet at the beginning of the year but as the year has dragged on and workload increased, im finding it increasingly difficult to do well. I got really stressed for a while there and then i began not to care. I still got my...

I'm in constant conflict with myself when I reject an offer to hang out with my friends so i can study because of this reasoning. It's so true, I dont want to look back on the last years where i was able to be (practically) 'responsibility free' and remember wasting them by...being responsible...

This used to be how it was and i didnt mind it either. Now i have some screwed up teacher who gives us 1300 word essays that are worth nothing every 2 or so weeks and lots of other little class tasks. it's disgusting.

I feel the same and its terrible. I just cant bring myself to care. I still get assignments in on time etc but its takes so much effort to bring myself to work. i'm doing pretty crappy subjects scaling wise next year too (bio, mod hist, legal, adv eng, ext eng, SOR 1u, considering ext 2) so im...

I used to like it but we got this awful subsititute for a whole term and now i absolutely HATE IT. I'm also coming first in both Adv and Ext. its sooooooo terrible. Yes, Extension is definitely better but i still dont really like it. hate hate hate adv. its first period tomorrow too..:mad1:
