Yeah I agree with you, I mean it doesn't matter if you fail a few subjects and just the pass the rest in the first few years of your course. If you get some distinctions in your final year you'll impress the employer with your improvement (from a position where you cannot possibly do any worse)...

More like if any of them can't get over your lack of good marks, work experience, interest, communication skills and aptitude then they're probably not worth working for.

It's rather amusing how you produce essay after essay consistng largely of off topic ramblings in response to a select few parts of my posts. I guess someone of your calibre has little else to live for. But go on, it's amusing. Let me ask you this, do you know what is meant by 'an accepted use...

Nope because I'm not a rich kid. But I must've hit a nerve since you did get beaten by a hell of a lot of people in the HSC didn't you? So I must've triggered something which is clearly shown by the fact that you added "dumb fuck" to the end of of "low UAI = lazy" even though I made no reference...

You're not reading what's been said and that is clearly shown by your comment "I can show you several people who would disprove your theory of 'low score = lazy dumb fuck" theory in a blink of an eye." Why? Because you still don't realise that I've already explained that your example is just...

You're ignoring the fact that for most people the UAI they obtain is indicative of how much work they've put in. Again, considering that there is a large proportion of people undertaking the HSC who don't even plan on going to uni and that people who dropped out prior to the HSC are included in...

Oh but haven't you said many times that the UAI has nothing to do with intelligence/smartness? So shouldn't it follow that the only reason that someone would achieve a low UAI is because they're lazy? (Yes there are people who are held back by circumstances out of their control but again, I'm...

You make some valid points but you're going too far by implying that people with UAIs in the 60s are generally not lazy when it comes to study. Considering that a large proportion of people taking the HSC are not even looking to get into uni, a UAI in the 60s generally indicates laziness. The...

That's true. I think that it would be reasonable to suggest that for most people, the quality of a uni is based on the 'whole' experience. This includes the quality of teaching, level of interaction between teaching staff and students and extra curricular acitivities but more importantly, the...

Lecturers I've had do not go way beyond the syllabus, if at all and I highly doubt that lecturers from other unis do either, so I don't see what you're getting at. As for research involvement of lecturers, I'm not sure about marketing courses but definitely for engineering and science based...

LaraB as you usual in your incoherent and senseless ramblings, you have completely missed the point. Let me summarise sam04u's initial point to you; the best lecturers are active researchers who have an outstanding academic record. So what was the point that you missed? The fact that it is a...

The 'collaboration' between most students goes far beyond simply discussing questions and we all know it happens so it isn't really a big deal IMO. I think that the only time when cheating (apart from blatant plagiarism on assignments) should be of concern is in exams, where most of your marks...

Yes, you don't have any basis for making the statement (or should I say implication since you don't seem to understand that things don't need be made explicit for a point to be made) which is because there are in fact many people with 99.xx who are "creative." On the other hand, a lot of...

High levels of academic ability and creativity aren't mutually exclusive. People with 99.xx are obviously academically inclined (this includes talent) and most of them do well in subjects which are not science related. So get your facts right before you assume that everyone who is academically...

In terms of the course alone (and this is important since you need to get through it to be awarded your degree), what I meant was that engineering is a course where you will eventually get into strife if you don't actually understand the material - which is not the case with many other courses...

I agree that an interest can be developed even if it is not there initially. However in most cases people who study any particular field in engineering have at least one of talent or interest. Further, people who don't have an interest in engineering at the beginning but develop a passion for it...

It's good that you're seeking advice from BOS before you go in to see the doctor.;)

Well every uni has its fair share of asswipes but from my experience, the people at melbourne are not any different from those at other unis. Perhaps you just ran into the asswipes? Even if that's the case, they're not representative of everyone. But yeah, that thread was deleted.

People in their teens or just after that who prefer older partners over someone their own age tend to be insecure individuals who have no grasp of what they want in life. As such, they need someone older to tell them what to do. I agree with you cerpin haha.

Well nothing much really, most of the time you probably aren't serious anyway. Although one thing in particular which I don't agree with, is your view of melbourne uni students. Uh I think he is already in uni. And there are lots of people who have lives outside of study and still get...
