At ANU it varies... school of finance and applied statistics will give you ZERO if you hand an assignment in late at all, while most in the arts faculty have you lose 1% per day.

ANU does some pretty weird stuff... the lecturers for two of my subjects there are only PhD <i>candidates</i>, but yet the tutors I have for those two subjects have both done their PhDs. Its funny actually... the most interesting lecturer I have is one who used to work as a teacher... from...

Technically you can do 3 I think, but in reality you may not even be able do two... The majority of majors (certainly the ones I looked at in any great depth: accounting, finance, economics and information systems) all require you to take extra subjects in addition to your major subjects to gain...

Damn my coat looks good

Well true, but not in this sense...

pffft english lacks grunt... if language techniques were the kind of things you could sneak up on and stab with a spear, guys would be unbeatable at it... For those who don't know, Ross Gittins isn't actually a researcher... rather he's a journalist, working as economics editor at SMH, as...
