Anyone else starting Honours this year? Plans? Expectation? Subject area? I'm doing mine in Italian Studies this year.

How hard is it to get into postgrad (MA, PhD) in the humanities at universities like Oxford or Cambridge? Has anyone from here looked into it ever? Both mention on their site that they expect at the least 2nd class, 1st division honours, but most successful applicants have 1st class honours...

Gay marriage insidious and dangerous: Pope Sigh ... barbarism, hypocrisy and medieval idiocy at its finest. :)

Some people like to think that morality and religion are somehow inherently linked, and that only religion has a role to play in answering or explaining morality in human society. They tend to like to think that religion, especially Christianity (for expediency's sake), have played a role in...

I noticed on facebook that a bunch of people were joining an event called "John 3:16 Day", talking about the love of Christianity and being proud to be of God and such and such and such, and on this day they would all change their statuses to this one verse, John 3:16 Anyone who looks...

Let me ask a question of those that follow the main monotheistic religions here (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). God is omnipotent, omni-benevolent and omniscient? Yes? Good. Now whilst it is basically a fact that modern humans have been around for the past 200,000 years (that is, in our...

Did anyone here join SASS last year? Those bastards have all their sausage sizzles on days when I don't have to be at uni. I did get a cheap duck shirt, however.

Does anyone play Grade Cricket in Sydney? Who for?

Are there any Ancient History majors around the place? I'm a second year, doing Ancient Imperialism, Historiography: Ancient and Modern and Greece in the First Millennium BC (Archaeology but still) this year (and Intermediate Italian too :P). Anyone else doing those this semester?

Well, just a question, because I'm ever so slightly curious. I'm a second year doing a BArts, I'm majoring in Ancient History. I've been doing well, with a distinction and 3 credits 1st semester, but second semester was a genuinely shit semester for a variety of reasons and I got 2 credits, a...

I know that, for a BArts at least, you need 36 senior credit points to get a major in something, but are you able to get two majors just by getting 36 credit points in two areas? Is there a such thing as a minor, or a secondary major? Just to help with context, I'm majoring in Ancient History...

Anyone else going? I'm in Blue Group, I'm told ...

I'm enrolled for 2008, and I provided a certificate of application for a tax file number that the Tax Office sent me when they returned my proof of identity documents by mail when I did that. Having forgotten where I put the paper with my UniKey password, I found it just then, and found out I...

I'm just wondering, is O-Week worth going to? I don't know anyone going to USyd, and I'm under 18, so I don't think I can go in any of the bars where they host some of the events, so is it worth going to at all?

Well I did Crime fiction, and I have to say, it wasn't too bad. The essay was unexpected, but the creative was fine. For the essay, I talked about how all my crime fiction texts dealt with crimes of passion, and by confronting passion with a sense of detachment, the detective could bring order...

Here are mine: Legal Studies - 1/7 Maths - 1/16 Ancient History - 3/19 History Extension - 1/2 English Advanced - 4/25 English Extension 1 - 2/5 So, I'm looking to get 83+ (specifically because 83 was the cutoff for Arts at USyd last year) but I'd like to get in the 90s, what kind of exam marks...

Oooooh ... crap. My major work is due in around 8 hours, and my teacher said that all I had to hand in was the essay and my log book. I now see people talking about the annotated bibliography and synopsis and think that I'm screwed. I'm doing the course over the internet, so I've emailed my...

Well my rankings are like this: Maths - 3/20 English - 3/30 English Extension 1 - 1/5 Ancient History - 1/8 History Extension - 1/3 Legal Studies - 1/8 So not huge classes, but I was wondering, if I'm aiming for around 94-ish, what kind of exam marks would I be looking at aiming for?

Hey, I've got my half-yearlies coming up, and I'm doing the elective Crime Fiction. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had any essay questions I could do for practics that is specifically on The Skull Beneath The Skin (since my exam essay will focus on TSBTS + Related).

I'm just wondering, I'm doing Pathways because I'm only 13, but I was just wondering. I'm doing thirteen units over two years, but repeating some subjects so I can get higher marks. Anyways, my subjects are: 4 Unit English 2 Unit Maths Business Studies Ancient History Legal Studies History...
