I started studying for the one i'll probably have to most trouble with (elec166) about 2 weeks ago. Can't really get into anything else at the moment, all the assignments I have due soon is hectic.

Hi guys, i'm thinking of taking a 300 level unit next semester, which i'm assuming is going to be a bit of a step up from the units i've taken so far at 100 level (with two at 200 level). I should have the prerequisites by next semester so thats all fine, i was just wondering what the main differences would be between 100 and 300 level subjects?

What area of study? I took 2 300 level SOC subjects in my second year and found it fine, the only difference was the word limits of the assignments (i.e. longer) as long as you have met the prereqs, it will be fine

The unit is Aegean Bronze Age Archaeology, its nice to hear the word limits go up at 300 level, i'm sick of having to leave things out to fit 2000 words. So its just generally larger word limits and higher workload?

This was in 2007 so keep that in mind but my 300 level arts subjects had 2500 or so word limits and a bit more reading but generally not too much difference.

Nah, usually, unless you haven't done the pre-reqs you should be fine

how's macquarie's summer school progam? i'm thinking of taking up a unit to help make up for the one i withdrew from after the consensus date this semester. tossing up between philosophy and marketing right now, but i was just curious if anyone's ever taken part in it, and how they found it? is it as much of an intense bitch as it looks?

**melsc** · 9 Nov 2009, 4:35 PM

keep in mind the price

Jachie · 9 Nov 2009, 4:42 PM

but there's FEE help for that, right?

**melsc** · 9 Nov 2009, 4:54 PM

yeah, it costs a little more if u do that

I took a summer school course once for a language, very very intense.

You took MALS, which isn't counted for credit though...

Real summer school lasts ~6 weeks or something. It's still intense.
