    Electives...

    Okay. I'm just finishing my first year of Journalism, and I was just wondering if any of you second or third year students would like to enlighten me as to which electives for next year are good to take and which aren't. Any help is appreciated!

    Computers - windows

    There are some at the library, but they fill up fairly fast. And they're sometimes reserved for classes. Other than that I can't really help you.

    what is so good about UTS?

    The elevators of the tower building suck. That is all. Most of them won't stop on odd levels, so you either wait around for ages or take the stairs down. The first time I was in one, it got stuck. Almost my whole tute was waiting for about five minutes for it to start up again. And they shake...

    Creative Writing

    For the creative writing I would suggest describing a physical journey you have actually taken at some point in your life. Holiday, shopping trip, study tour - whatever, so long as you can make up that you've learned something from it. Dramatise it as much as you like. But people always write...

    Essay Plan

    Thanks for all your help guys. My journalism teacher is Kathy Kallos, just by the way for whoever asked. I was walking through Redfern with the girl I'm doing the assignment with and we seriously found nothing. We talked to so many people and they had so little to say. I suppose that was...

    Essay Plan

    Can anyone tell me how I'm meant to structure an essay plan? I have absolutely no idea how they're meant to work. Also, if I'm writing one for CC1 and I don't intend to make my final project an essay, do I have to say that anywhere? Also, I'm doing Journalism, and I have to write a News Story...

    Doing Revenge Tragedy.. POST HERE.. Chuck Some Ideas Around...

    I wouldn't worry. I had no understanding of it either. I didn't even read it. I didn't even read anything about it. All I knew was the main character's name, which I have subsequently forgotten. Then I used it in my exam and got 90. Go figure. As for suggestions, examiner's notes from most...

    need a quick reply!

    Every writer's take on a genre will be different, so every time they compose within that genre they are changing it. Genre is never a static entity.

    Supplementary Material: Revenge Tragedy

    For something a little different, try Rigoletto- it's an opera and it's in Italian. But there is a translation somewhere on the net and there are some really good revenge tragedy-ish quotes in some of those songs. Plus, being an opera it's all about passion and opulence, which are fiarly...

    Modern Assessment

    Heh... Well, I'll try and help. Part A: Social conservatism basically arose out of a desire to go back to what people of the time saw as the good old fashioned all-American values. Conservatism, by definition, was basically a reaction against developments in US society. Examples of social...
