just had a quick question, for the econ111 exam i answered the two essay questions, as essays with a intro, body, conclusion, as the question specified an essay. However i did not use any diagrams, and answered the qns with economic theory. As there were 5 questions of which u could pick 2, the two i chose did not specificy the use a of a diagram. The one question which did stated "With the use a of a diagram.. explain", a qn i did not choose out of the options. Will i be marked down for not supporting my answers with diagrams in my essays? thanks guys. ]]> General - Macquarie University ameher http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=229254 http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=229131&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:00:26 GMT it occurred to me that i may have missed three tutorials for at least one of my subjects. i can't be sure though, it might have been two. if you missed three tutes would you be notified via email? ie, if my tutor or the university hasn't notified me that i've missed too many lessons, does that mean i'm okay? or do they not warn you?

(pardon my ignorance but i'm a first year, and i've heard conflicting stories from others: some say that if the uni hasn't contacted you about it then you're okay, others say they've received absent fails for missing three tutes and weren't made aware of it) ]]> General - Macquarie University defying-gravity http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=229131 http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=229016&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:28:34 GMT sorry cant find the other summer school thread can i enrol in a subject without having the results for it ie im doing my exam for the subject now ? opening enrolments - 4th dec exam results out - 18th dec final enrolments - 21st dec...........but is there a fee for late enrolment ? sorry cant find the other summer school thread

I've had a few questions about mentoring and whether it's worth it or not. About three years ago, a lot of bos members were mentors and the few who are still around will testify that it's a great experience.

Mentoring is a very small commitment: You have to come to a training day between 9th-13th January, and then an Orientation day the week later (ie the week before class).

Mentoring's a great chance to get involved in campus life and to volunteer, but it's also beneficial to the Mentor as a lot of paid jobs on campus recruit Mentors.

If you're interested in volunteering those two days, apply to become a mentor online here: Transition - Macquarie University

I'm a yr 12 student who finished the hsc this year, and a prospective student of Macq for 2010. i saw that semester 1 begins alot earlier than other uni ie 22 Feb '10. and therefore orientation starts early.

wanted to know how important Orientation week is for 1st year students (not international) and whether coming in to uni later during the Orientation week makes such a difference or not?

i was planning on going overseas for two weeks from beginning of feb, so would b getting back around 15th or 16th. really would like to know the significance of it.

thanks ]]> General - Macquarie University Freeba http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=227923
