    How to pick up French quickly?

    If you've picked up German and found it easy because it's similar to English, it's because it is - at least, syntactically. The vocabulary, however, tends to be of Latin/French roots. It's to do with the way that people learn different languages without assistance (think about the way that you...

    Easiest Courses

    Yeah, as Hello2U2 said, it is quite subjective - depends on what you're good at. If you're good at writing essays, there are a number of arts subjects that are easy, since their assessments weigh heavily on essays. And since there's so much breadth in subject choices, you'll probably find...

    fucking timetables

    Honestly, I don't see why it matters that you can't get your timetable until a couple of weeks before semester. If you have a job, it should be flexible enough to work around uni, if it isn't, then you'll end up having to blow it off for some assignment anyway. And as far as I know, it isn't...

    Best websites / places to get a casual job

    Yeah, big businesses - McDonalds, Woolworths Group, banks, etc, tend to recruit more online. If you're looking for a job whilst at school, I'd say that Maccas is alright, as well as some call center jobs - they're not too stressed and pay alright. (Well, what I mean is that maccas pays alright...

    usyd hacked LOL

    Not sure what the big deal is, it's not as though any of the secure servers were accessed. Although I believe him when he says that he has no qualifications - I'm sure that people of the educated persuasion don't use "owned" in their taunts or boasts. Sounds to me as though this "hacker" is...

    Why is everyone going to UNSW?

    Okay, I'm not going to bother reading pages 4-12 of this, and I'll start by assuming what I'm about to say would've already been brought up by someone else. You know how they say that those who can't do, teach? Well, I'm going to be a teacher. And I had the choice of either UNSW of USyd for the...

    Rules for Staff

    If any of this has been said before... well, there's probably a reason for it ;) If you are rostered, then be at work on time. I don't care if you're a casual, we pay you more because we expect you to turn up. If you are rostered, don't go swapping your shifts, especially not with some...

    Rules for Customers

    I'm a manager at maccas, we had some smartasses try to order one of those the other night. The occasional Whopper burger also seems to find it's way out of customers' mouths. And, customers seem to like changing their minds. Not sure what it is, but the sad thing is that it's everywhere, not...

    Rules for Customers

    Not sure if this has been said or not If this has been said before, then there's a reason for it ;) Maccas: If you act like a dick, I will kick you out of my store. If you don't want to leave, I will call the cops. And because we feed them well, they will be here faster than you can say...

    The Pay Thread

    There has been a recent increase in Maccas wages... although it's not much, it's now above the minimum wage. I encourage you all to spend the five buck or so to join the union, you get heaps of benefits and it will only help your wage in the long run.

    Why selective school kids need tutors?

    Really? This is ridiculous. I'm not going to quote anyone, because I don't feel like starting a war. Entrance scroes have such little bearing on the child's performance later. It is all about how they apply themselves at school. If your kid doesn't like school, they could go to James Ruse and...

    band cut offs

    Re: Band 6 Raw? Hey, just sharing my opinion, no need to get angry if I accidentally say something inconsiderate... This paper was quite easy, although it is true that generally q1-7 should be completed in about an hour, at elast, when I've done it. This exam, not the case - however, this did...

    Do you lose marks for having 2 related texts?

    Re: Called up Board of Studies regarding 2 related texts Well, having read most, if not all of this thread... I'm about to repeat some things that have been previously mentioned. Firstly, I find it interesting that so many people were able to have such a discussion about this before Paper 2...

    Richard III & Looking For Richard Help!

    Honestly, Module A is probably one of the easiest to comprehend independently. I'm sorry, but if you're doing Advanced, you should be spending at least half as much time studying at home as you do at school. It's not about something that everyone gets straight away - it's about working hard at...

    13 units :)

    I'm did 14 for Prelim, 13 at the moment, but since 2 of those are from a school-based traineeship, it's not all that pressuring.

    Retail Operations - Retail Services

    Yeah, I'm doing it through McDonald's as well, I wouldn't be working there if I wasn't... actually, I probably would, I enjoy working quite a bit, really. It scales quite poorly, apparently, but if you do really well, your marks would still be higher than another subject which scales well and...

    Retail Operations - Retail Services

    Hey, I'm doing retail operations, which was changed to retail services for 2009 HSC. Does that mean that SAM will not be able to accurately calculate my UAI? Just wondering, because of the new curse, and all.

    Well, we can see light, which travels at the speed of light. So, I suppose, the answer is yes.
