    Introductory Greek

    I'm keen on doing Introductory Greek A as one of my courses in the first semester and potentially pursuing the later courses after it (Introductory Greek B, Classical Greece, etc.) However, my parents and grandmother think it's not practical and I should choose a language like Italian or French...

    First Year Looking for Degree Structure Help

    I'm starting at UNSW in February and I'm trying to work out my courses. I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts, hoping to major in creative writing, but for the life of me, I can't work out what the structure of the first year of my degree is, or how many courses I'm supposed to enrol in. Can anyone help...

    Completely lost motivation

    So I did my Trials and I handed in my major projects. I thought I'd take a bit of time off just to recoup. I got my Trials marks back and... I wasn't entirely satisfied. Some of them were good, yes. ANC. HIST.: 81% (okay) DRAMA: 67% (not happy) ENG. ADV.: 68% (really not happy with this)...

    Performance in English

    Coming up to the Trials, I find myself faced with a rather intractable problem. I'm doing pretty decently in my other subjects, but my performance in English Advanced and English Extension both leave much to be desired. I've just recently got my last assessment tasks back: 15/20 in an in-class...

    ATAR Estimate No. 2

    Very worried about current performance

    This year isn't going particularly great. I'm not failing any of my classes, but my rankings and results aren't exactly spectacular (my highest exam percentage in the half-yearlies was 88 and my lowest was 67). I don't know if I'm going to get the ATAR I want to go to my preferred university...

    ATAR Estimate, Please!

    SCHOOL RANK (2015): 256 ENG. ADV.: 18/22 - Last I checked, which was about last term or much earlier this term. I didn't do great in the first assessment task; I only got about 15 or 16 out of 25. My rank has probably improved since then, as I got 11/15 on the second assessment task and quite a...
