It's a brilliantly constructed piece of legal jargon. To be sure. :D

Yes - the scaling parameters for each year are calculated afresh based on the ability of the candidature for that year.

I suspect the UNSW Law Faculty might require transfer students to have completed the equivalent of at least one year of full-time study. I know USYD imposes this requirement. Otherwise, yes, you'd have a goodish chance.

It's not a research assignment... you don't really need to have researched anything... :)

Just to clarify on those previous comments... the existence of the tort itself gives rise to a right of action. A tortious act on the part of the defendant then allows the plaintiff to pursue that right of action. I've been trying to think of an analogy... the tort creates a (closed)...

Typically French. www.boredofstudies.org/scaling.php But ellipses' comments still apply. :)

Bored of Studies will soon be expanding to cover all aspects of university life - starting with the provision of comprehensive subject notes and resources to all university students. What would YOU like to see on our university website? How should resources be presented? Are there particular...

Many schools require Extension 2 students to undertake tasks from the 2-unit course in order to avoid assessment chaos should they decide to drop down from that higher level. The results won't actually contribute towards anything else though.

It's been a while since I've replied to one of these. Steps for success, prioritised in descending order: Maintain your current level of achievement in ME1 and ME2. Those four units are a treasure trove of scaling goodness. Maintain your current level of achievement in EA and EE1...

No, it doesn't (and it didn't happen under the old HSC, despite the rumours). If the performances of those students on the actual HSC exam paper - in terms of ranking - does not differ markedly from their assessment performances, there would be little or no effect. The students around the mean...

Yes. It's only a rough 'average' indicator, though.

You're not screwed. It's never too late. Just Do It.

Well, it wasn't the process that was changed - the standards were revised. It only occurred for three courses: Engineering Studies, SDD and VET Retail. I'll agree that the 2003 data might be more useful for those courses only. The average isn't provided as some kind of 'overall estimate'... I...

You generally need to be in at least the top 35% to get a distinction, and usually the top 25%. Varies between faculties, though. A distinction average is meant to be the equivalent of a UAI of 96. Personally I think the distinction average requires less work. Or maybe we're just 'better'...

You'll need to ask specific questions - 'explain everything to me' is far too vague. That signature is also far too long.

I wouldn't agree to anything of the sort - I have no idea what the distributions of marks will be like. The only reasonable assumption that can be made is that the parameters for courses with very large candidatures should be fairly stable. But this assumption isn't specific to 2004... it...

I have to agree with Affinity - there's simply no rational basis for such a claim. No data concerning 2004 scaled marks even exist yet. There really isn't a 'best' estimate, as such. You need to make some kind of value judgment based on all possible estimates.

She's trying to teach you to be an independent learner, Tim. :) It's the best way.

Extension 1 will count as two units when you're doing Extension 2...

It is quite a long judgment... but the proposition of a tort of breach of privacy has spawned a lot of literature - you shouldn't find it overly difficult to critique.
