    Can you use related texts that are core texts for another module?

    I'm fairly sure it isn't allowed. That's what my teachers have been telling me, but it is possible to share related texts between modules, provided it isn't a core text in another module.

    Units of Study/Workload question

    Back to the drawing board. I've decided that Chemistry can go and History can wait until next year. However, that still leaves me with 6cp more than the 24cp requirement for each semester. That leaves me down to deciding between Biology and Physics, which only leaves me with more questions: By...

    Units of Study/Workload question

    With offers only a week away, I've already started putting some thought into what units of study I'd like to do for my (potential) course of B Science/B Arts. Reason I've started putting thought into it so early is because I'll be away for offers and enrolment so I need to get this information...

    Immigrant Chronicle

    Other ways to find belonging include religion, race, nationality, social class, family, gender, culture, hobbies, etc. But all of those fall under belonging to people or places and those are the big ones you'll need to look out for. The extended response question in the 2011 English paper...

    Immigrant Chronicle

    1) Immigrant Chronicle is meant to be read as a whole text not as a conglomerate of poems, though you will need to acknowledge that it is a suite of poems in an essay. This is what my teacher has told our class to do. Furthermore, in an essay you should be picking lines from all of the poems...

    How can I improve my Vocabulary?

    Reading some old literature is a good place to start broadening your vocabulary, but that wasn't how I improved it. Instead I ended up picking a lot of new terms from the lyrics of the music I'd listen to. But if you want to know how, then you should try looking up the word's meaning and how it...

    Engineering and physics

    My knowledge is only in the chemical and biomolecular engineering fields, but all the physics you need to know for that is Newton's laws of motion. But you'll need a background in chemistry, biology and physics if you're planning on sitting the GAMSAT.

    Study at McGill University in Canada

    I'm personally a fan of cold weather, snow and all. If that's the case then I'm sure I'll like university in North America. :)

    How do I become a doctor?

    With an attitude like that, it sounds like you're doing medicine for the money and job prestige. What the others didn't mention is that both undergraduate and graduate medicine applicants have to pass an interview, and this is meant to sort between those who are actually passionate about...

    Assumed knowledge for History?

    I did some reading before and I'm going through it again to refresh myself. In terms of history I'm interested in 20th century history, Communism in Europe and the histories of Europe and Quebec, as well as nationalism and religion. I've found subjects in Europe, 20th century history and 20th...

    Assumed knowledge for History?

    Great. Looks like I'll be doing history in university, much to the dismay of some of the science/engineering/smart students on the forums. Thanks for the help!

    Assumed knowledge for History?

    I'm considering doing history as part of my Arts degree. At first it was just to fill up space for the Arts component as part of a Science/Arts degree, but I since realised I have a bit of interest in the subject. However, I didn't do any history as part of my HSC and I'm worried I might not...

    Did Chemistry screw you over as well???

    I was expecting to do a lot worse, so I'm satisfied with my chemistry marks. I got a lot worse in physics so I'm not all that disappointed in chemistry.

    Creative Writing

    This, and suicide of any kind. I did well in this assignment last year and I was in the minority that didn't write about someone dying or the protagonist dying. Like aussienerd said, don't do it unless you can find some unique twist on it. What markers do like is patterns of imagery and its...

    School Rankings 2011

    My school moved from 154 to 151. Not a large jump but it's good to see that we're ahead of last year's cohort. :)

    Anyone here wanting to do a bachelor of science/bachelor of arts at USYD?

    I'm planning on doing Science/Arts, granted that I get in to begin with. I plan on majoring in Psychology for the science component and English in the Arts component and continue into postgraduate psychology with the BA as a bonus. The reason I decided to choose the combined degree instead of...
