Long time, no see! Turns out I ended up dropping some subjects, so I'll be around in 2020. At first I didn't mind, but then I realized what the changes were to the curriculum in 2020. No- we aren't getting trimesters. It's worse. Look at the degree outlines for 2020, not 2019. Arts...

Census Date is tomorrow, not on Sunday night. So if you need to withdraw, I urge you to do it ASAP! (wow I can't believe I'm going through with five subjects!)

The Vice-Chancellor has sent an e-mail about the Christchurch shootings, and awareness for the range of support services available to students. Note that if you are Islamic and require to use a prayer room, you'll need to swipe your card.

Macquarie University is telling all students that class is optional. Damn, MQ, have some standards.

This is a difficult question. In general, Hitler and Stalin resorted to similar tactics for their goals (starvation, rape, execution, imprisonment, etc). Both used literature and propaganda as tools. Statistically- Stalin has ALOT more blood on his hand than Hitler (imo)- even if Hitler's...

About to start Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen!

Liking this post because I think there needs to be a fair discussion regarding health sciences at Macquarie. I love Macquarie University, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with every aspect of it. Honestly, the appeal of this degree is that it takes less time- 2 years as opposed to 3- but there's...

The Mres (Arts) isn't approved by the AQF- but apparently the second year is part of the Research Training Program. Urgh. I love you Macquarie Uni but sometimes you get me down.

Did a virtual internship last year with an NGO. Granted, it was content writing but I managed to put the skills I learned on my resume and created a portfolio. Will apply to more content writing positions that are paid at the end of the year. No clue what its like for business or law- two...

Ouch. Glad I'm overloading and hopefully graduating at the end of this year. As much as I love Macquarie University (kind students, nice campus, passionate staff, good atmosphere)- I don't see myself doing postgraduate here. There's some really bright people in the English department, and it...

Got this weird thing by the English department... Macquarie University will be introducing a new curriculum structure in 2020. All current students will be transitioned seamlessly into this new structure. Due to this process of curriculum renewal, the Department of English will be offering a...

Yes, some are external- which makes things a lot easier. No social life through this semester! (It will be worth it though.)

Yep, all five units are on iLearn! Please note that some units have not uploaded the turnitin links. Really motivated for this semester!

BLIT this guide is amazing <3 Can't wait for uni this week.

I think English should be compulsory, but not be vital to the calculation of ones ATAR (reasons cited by other users). However, HSC English needs to be improved. I wish that it was about the power of language, how literature shapes and reflects history and politics, the importance of...
