I am currently studying Commerce (UNSW) but thinking of transferring to Commerce/Economics to be able to major in econometrics. The reason is I have been convinced that this would display some quantitative competence that perhaps is not as obvious with a straight Commerce degree or with the...

Does anyone have a copy of the answers to the tutorial questions in the booklet?

Ditto... Fingers crossed there was some sort of mistake

I think the question about legal and non-legal responses to the evolving nature of world order question was alright.
