I didn't say chemistry is bad. I meant no comment, would you like to add anything to that.

It's OK SeDaTeD, you didn't miss anything, go back to sleep.

I absolutely despise Microeconomics and I hate how assessments are being geared toward the international students. My commerce degree is also more boring than expected so I'll probably transfer to Comm/Arts next year.

I read this on a desk in a leacture theatre the other day.

they stole that from the econometrics blue book.
Myths about ecmt:
If i had one hour left to live i would pick econometrics .....


I love that page. It's so false. "Econometrics is fun! Not boring at all."

Hard to believe, but Microeconomics is 10 times more boring than Econometrics. Well, if you're De Roos' stream, anyway...

I went to see dennis in a consultation, but he wasnt there and there was one other guy with me...

He went into de roos' room (was a dennis student) and asked for help, basically the reply he got was 'are you my student? if not then get lost'.

*shakes head*

That said, Dennis' over-zealous lectures put whatever little life there is into the limp, lifeless body of economics.

haha yeah, his fanatical grinning and expression of delight over property rights almost made me laugh out loud in the lecture

then again, he had that manic grin when we discussed price floors...tariffs...tax revenue...and esp game theory

I meant when he first started with economics and he was talking about MB, that part of the course was very rich with the flailing arm movements and what not.

tax was one the most animated topics. Hold one thing constant (holds finger) and adjust the others (insert manic grin and wiggling of other fingers) ROFL

Comm/Law is shit. I can't see anything practical about the subjects. I should have done Aero Engineering.

first year law subjects are vague and shitty across all unis i hear. They teach u introductory crap that you think isn't practical...like the history of law.

but it gets better. plus comm/law is very practical. :)

If you want to end up working over files for large amounts of money for the rest of your life it may be pratical :p

I assure you you'd be saying the exact same thing had you done so.
