    I submitted a transfer application into Sci/Arts early November. I expect a reply after 19 December.

    According to UNSW's key dates, the last day to discontinue a course without 'academic' penalty is September 4. When, however, is the latest I can drop a course without financial penalty? That is, without getting a refund of the course fee. (Bearing in mind that course payments are due this...

    Philosophy courses in Science/Commerce?

    I refer to this Science/Commerce page and also to Table A. The quote is from the Science/Commerce page. It talks about what students must do in the Science part of the degree.

    Sorry that myself (and others :P) have been asking dumbass questions about UNSW enrolment procedures. I'm just about to enrol in my four 1st semester courses.

    UNSW: "Sitar" and "Cola" first year advisers

    I refer to UNSW's "First-Year Advisory Centre" page: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~nss/cola/FYstart.html It describes both the "Sitar First Year Planner" and the "Cola - Course On-Line Adviser". I clicked the "Start" button down the bottom and it said: "sorry, cola is no longer operational"...

    Should we accept our offers immediately?

    Hi, it's my understanding that we 2010 HSC graduates receive our main round offers on the UAC website at 9pm on the 19th of January. I've been told by a friend that I should accept and enrol as soon as I receive my offer in order to have the widest choice of class timetabling arrangements. So...

    TRIALS -- Is it too late to start writing up notes?

    Hey there, My trials start week 4. I've got 23 days, 14 of which are school days, to study basically the ENTIRE Physics and Chem courses. (I've studied my other subjects throughout these holidays) I've struggled through both classes and can't remember too much. I scanned through some papers...

    Are we allowed to attempt a question twice? Can we give more examples than asked for?

    1) In a Math exam, are we allowed to attempt a question twice in our answer booklets? Without crossing out one. In my yearly I went back and re-did a question -- and got a different answer. I wrote this 2nd attempt a few pages back from my 1st attempt, as I didn't have any space below the...

    I'm thinking of using a related from Deviantart?

    I was thinking of using some pic on DeviantArt as a related text. It's not a professionally "published" text, but it's still a text. It has a title and a composer, and it's posted on the web, as a news journal or blog would be. Would I be allowed to use it?

    After reading the rubric and feeling angry, this is what I've come up with. "Shakespeare's Julius Caesar presents conflicting perspectives of the personality of Caesar, the event of his assassination, and the situation of political tension in Rome. These perspectives (answer question). They are...

    What specific types of questions could we be asked about Conflicting Perspectives?

    My teacher's given me a list of about 5. Each of them asks, by various wordings: "How are they conflicting perspectives created and for what purpose?" Sounds very general and vague and strange. Here's the 2009 HSC question (2009 was first year for Conflicting Perspectives): "Analyse the ways...

    Where can we find sample exemplar responses?

    Where can we find A-range responces to any of the Advanced English modules? Besides the ARC website, which only has responses to 2001/2003/2007 papers, most of which are outdated or irrelevant to my modules. Or are exemplars more a private thing that tutors and teachers usually have...
