    Predictions and Results (Semester 1 2009)

    nothing yet. no surprise there really. (apparently raw marks only had to be finalised by 1 July, i.e. yesterday, at least in the arts faculty. so i doubt we can expect final scaled marks for a while yet.)

    A GPA of 5.5

    generally the GPA is worked out from the following weightings: Pass = 4 Credit = 5 Distinction = 6 High Distinction = 7 so for a 5.5 your results would need to be roughly 50% credits, 50% distinctions. not that hard if you're a decent student and apply yourself.

    2009 Main Round cut-offs

    it doesn't matter when you submit your application, as long as you get it in before the closing date - selection is based only on your UAI (or whatever it's called now) and isn't affected by who submitted their application first.

    Predictions and Results (Semester 1 2009)

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    i've never heard of anyone getting marks anywhere near the date they give (in this case 1st july). it will be at least a week longer than that before you start getting any marks, and more likely two or three.

    Grad Law Credit

    i doubt it. the LLB is designed to satisfy the specific requirements for admission as a lawyer, which means that you need to do the specific units that the law faculty offers, since they're the ones that are approved by LPAB (the legal practitioners admission board). that's just a guess though...

    What happens If I fail 3 out of 4 subjects?

    i think if you fail large numbers of units for two semesters in a row then you get asked to show cause why they shouldn't chuck you out.

    Which universities offer Thai as a major?

    usyd used to offer it in conjunction with UTS (i.e. you'd enrol in usyd units, but attended UTS classes), but it always had the disclaimer of 'subject to continuing availability', and now it's vanished. don't know why, but if it's not on the UTS site either then presumably UTS axed it. don't...

    Overloading

    yes it should be possible, provided that failing your first-year subject doesn't disrupt your prerequisites for second year in some way.

    SciTech library computer hogs

    i would totally support all the computer labs being closed off except for people in specific faculties. econ/business students already have heaps of computer labs which you can't use unless you're enrolled in that faculty, so GET OUT OF FISHER (and scitech) YOU SCUM

    uni tutors

    ECOP allows pre-honours undergrads to tutor? wow. but yeah, in arts the tutors are usually doctoral students, or postdoctoral casuals who are hanging around in hope of some day getting a full-time position.
