    Combined Commerce question

    I'm considering of doing a Comm/Design(hons) degree but I was wondering if we get free electives/general education courses in most of the combined commerce courses? I consulted the handbook but it didn't say anything about free electives e.t.c. I want to do linguistics and a foreign language...

    Double Majors worth it?

    How demanding is a double degree compared to a single degree(i.e. computer science/arts vs B computer science) and would that mean that I get no free electives if I did pick a double degree and it would be impossible to study something outside science and arts? Would you say that a double major...

    Neatness of your work

    How neat is your work when you hand-write? I'm not too neat(actually overly messy) but I have friends with such neat notes and work and spend a lot of time doing it. Is it worth the time to be neat in your opinion?

    Extension speaking HELP??

    I'm doing Japanese extension but I'm absolutely terrible at the speaking. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get my point across without stumbling. I've never been good at public speaking so it is difficult for me to speak for so long in Japanese. Could anyone give me some help/advice?

    AC motor questions

    How to I explain the difference between an AC and DC generator other than the fact that AC has a slip ring? Also, why can a universal motor use either AC or DC without any adaptation of its structure and why will an AC motor spin at a constant speed?

    When are your chances of band 6 "over"?

    I know there are other threads like this but... I've heard different news from different people about how school marks determine your chances of getting band 6. Some say that it isn't over until the HSC but others say otherwise. Would it really matter if you did badly (like around 60%~ and...

    Always tired

    I get tired easily and can't do work after school as a result. When I get home, I feel so tired and I try to take a nap but I can't fall asleep. This is the same at night- I'm a bit of a night owl and can't fall asleep quickly. Plus, I wake easily so I find it hard to concentrate at school due...

    Analysing movies

    I've heard that the best way to discuss the issues and themes for a movie (doing this in Language extension courses, should also be useful for English) is to discuss it with a drama teacher rather than merely go through this with what you learn in English. What would you say? Is this a good idea?

    English Homework- yes or no?

    I've heard of people who only really DO their maths homework. For English, we get a bunch of questions regarding our texts. Would you say to do them or to study the texts and write essays instead?

    How to calm down and actually study?

    I'm one of those people who just can't sit down and be still- I'm always moving around! The problem is that this means I often can't sit down for more than 5 minutes without getting up and moving around again. Its really problematic since I AM doing quite demanding subjects that require you...

    Show don't tell- help!!!!!

    Hey everyone, I keep on getting "Show, don't tell" when dealing with creative writing but what do they really mean? How can I improve this? I only ever write the action in my stories and barely any description(I'm an action-loving person- don't like to be stopped with description LOL)...
