Received a reply saying there was a major error in the processing of the marks, still waiting to find out what my overall mark is though. As to why I emailed, I was sitting on 80'ish percent after taking into account 80% of the course assessments. I was only waiting on the results for the final...

Emailed the lecturer-in-charge and it turns out there was a mistake with the subject I received a credit in, hopefully it will end up being another D or HD.

I only just found out my results, which was a bit unsettling seeing as all my friends received emails yesterday and I didn't (never happened in previous semesters). International Relations 69 CR Info Systems in Business 89 HD Business Entities 75 DN Critical Thinking and Analysis 87...

The salary varies between the three areas, professional service firms are around 50-60k depending on the service line. Management consulting and IBs obviously pay more, but you would have to consider whether it is worth the additional hours that you are expected to work. Also, considering we are...

Obviously for Com/Arts you end up with two degrees, but with Com (Liberal Studies) you only get fancy words in brackets on your piece of paper. However, you have spend five years at uni for the former, while the latter only requires four years uni. No difference between commerce and business...

If I were deciding between the two, I would opt for International Studies as going on exchange would be a pretty cool experience. With that said, I guess Liberal Studies doesn't rule out the option of exchange either. To be honest, I study Commerce (Liberal Studies) and I don't think it...

I have never been particularly interested in IBs, but a number of my friends have been. If you haven't heard by now, unfortunately you pretty much didn't make the cut - I know at least a few of the IBs are on the final round already. IBs are typically known to be quite efficient/fast with their...

I think the question has been answered pretty well by the others, but I would like to add a few points. I know of a number of people doing cadetships and co-op, what I found interesting is that quite a few of the co-op students I have spoken to said it wasn't actually that easy to secure a...

As others have said performing well in certain subjects may give you eligibility for bonus marks. Obviously a high mark will inherently help because it will increase your UAI, but apart from that it will give you extra consideration or preferential treatment. Basically if you received a UAI of...

Well arguably Vega's comments were somewhat constructive. Individual's study in different ways, for lack of a better word they "absorb" information differently... so there is no "best" way. Personally I cram the night before, arguably the most efficient way, but probably not the "best" or...

Personal preference really, though UNSW was rated as the best university for business and law for the third time running in a government report though. Since I do Com (Lib) at UNSW, I'm biased. So take it as you may, but I'd do Commerce at UNSW and if you are really keen on getting an LLB -...

Internationally, I doubt you will get significant recognition regardless of your degree because our tertiary institutions simply don't command attention. Either way, from hearsay I have been told that in other countries, students enrol in the more traditional degrees. So it won't make much...

Re: best uni for business? Depends on more than simply the degree as a whole. what you intend to major in will be quite important in who is deemed the best. Generally speaking, UNSW was rated as the best for business and law in a government report not too long ago. However, it shouldn't...

That's not true, you can still do Econometrics within the Commerce degree, it is simply rebranded as Business Statistics, just like how Economics is called Business Economics. In answer to the OP question, there probably is no reason to choose B Economics over B Commerce. I was actually in...

If you make it through it through the first round, then it is true that your academic performance is not really an issue. However, with the number of high quality candidates vying for those positions with similar skill sets, any differentiating factor will impact on the outcome - this obviously...

I highly doubt you would be much of a chance even with a credit average. The IB interns I know all have marks in the HD range and extracurricular activities. You might make it to the assessment stage... but considering the number of rounds and the calibre of the candidates I don't think there is...

1. Liberal Studies adds a year to your degree, which is meant to diversify your studies. You'll need to do some cores in contextual analysis and critical thinking etc, then it is up to you to decide on studying some courses from Arts/Science of your own interest. 2. Refer to above. 3. Same...

Doesn't help much, if the lecturer is bothered they'll organise a meeting in an attempt at mediation. Rather than generate further animosity I may as well do it myself. In other instances the lecturer will tell you that this is a facet of teamwork that you need to learn. So I like my friends...

I just meant that even with peer evaluations, they don't really make the assessments that much more equitable. For the ones I've had, even if you did most of the work (and you are recognised for it) you aren't going to receive a larger proportion of the marks. It only serves as a component that...

Too bad the peer evaluations I've had only seek to penalise, there is no upside. Also, the last one I did wasn't strictly confidential, which leads to a tit for tat strategy.
