anyways...back to the topic and away from heros usual arguments...

i know people are gonan whinge if they merge schools and whatever, but honestly, its not gonna make that much of a difference..neither will having mroe international students - keep in mind uws has 'campuses' in othe rocuntries, esp. asian countries eg Singapoer so having more internat students here would make sense to accomodate some of these people.

plus, they're increasing numbers as a whole so its nto just that we'[re gonna hav emore international students and aussies' will be outnumbered or anything..


as far as merging schools etc - well..they already have school of bus and law and this hasnt had a negative effect - eg the Employment Relations sector of the school of bus and law is the most profitable as far as funds from research etc in the uni

people saying that merging campuses is a good idea and that no one knows where uws is - seriously shut up

the whole point of uws is that its accessible to a lot of people so you dont hafta travel a long way to teh city or whatever. Having different locations means having more subjects, more students and often the ability to have a mroe hands on approach.

Yeh the hecs rise is a bitch etc but it'll benefit the uni heaps - have a look at the plan for thge new lecture hall n stuff - its gonna be aweseome

Maybe for that have popular subjects, like the schools which have business, law etc subjects. I'm sure that they wouldn't notice too much.

But the school of environment and agriculture (its the only one I know very well) has been affected big time cause of the merging. Large schools won't be forced to cut subjects, but the smaller schools have been forced to vut subjects.

I think that I will really depend what school/s you are in.

i dont think from what ive been told bylecturers n stuff its necessarily a matter of size, more of what the subjects/schools bring in...eg our Workplace behaviour lecturer said that the Employment Relations school makes a shit load of money and they could practically fuind the entire hawkesbury campus coz the subjects they run there aren't making money for the uni in terms of research and stuff....

i think at the same time, i undertsand ppl will be shitty if their subjects are affected, but in practice it make ssense coz if the demand for the subject isnt there then its just nhot practical - just like UAI stuff i guess..if from UAC entries there isnt the demand, a course wont open

butu for those of you who think a subject will be cut that you really really really wanna do - ask about doing it via another uni coz uws seem really reasonable wit lettin you do that long as they approve it

i still dont know where the new building is gona be at? :S

lol neither do i

but i dont care lol coz wherever it goes it's all good for me coz if they put it on the ovals, meh i dont use the ovals, or if they expand it to out near the old auditorium or in union square..

lol i dont care long asthey dont take up parking spaces!!!!!

Workplace behviour is obviously a popular subject. Is it a subject that is taught across different campuses?

I only really know about tourism subjects, so I can't really comment on other subjects. But The tourism course was and still is full beyond capacity.

Most of the subjects were cut because of financial difficulties, and hence the merging of schools. I should stop complaining, but they took all the cool subjects oh well.

i dont see them cutting really popular subjects and stuff in tourism if its full...but at the same time.,.they still might if its not financially viable...

yeah i think w'place behaviours taught at like..most teh campuses n its a compulsorary 1st yr for HRM/IR course n a lot of people pick it as an elective for management or marketing or whatever coz its pretty interetsing

I guess every course is different. Cause tourism full is less than 100. I dunno what popular courses number is full. But it probably just depends on the course.

oh yeah... workplace behaviour lectures are bout that too when they full..

Managing peopel at work and stuff when they're full, although they never are coz you dont really need to come tyo lectures coz its on WebCT, ful they about 300 i think if i remember right? at leasts that's how many spaces there are..

Business and law etc popular courses, probably won't be affected much. Cause they are popular and students will always be enrolled in them, so therefore they are always guaranteed a financial return. But courses like horticulture and vineculture can't always be full to capacity and don't gain a financial return. I mean some courses you can go to tafe and do, like tourism, I could be at tafe, but i went to uni.

It's no wonder horticulture and vineculture aint full, holy smokes I didn't even know those words existed

Thats cause your too stupid and narrow minded to realise that!

yeah but at the same time, tourism's a low entry course right?

well id ont c em cutting low or high end courses - high because they wantthe prestige i guess and coz that'd mean cuttincourses like law that have a huge post grad especially entry, low because it'll mean that more n more people wont be able to get to uni

i reckon its more the mid range ones that'll logically be the ones to be affected

Well the B of tourism is a low cut off course, last year it was 60.00. But there are other tourism courses, like B business (tourism) at campbelltown and B law / tourism (parra or campbelltown, dunno) and theres also hospitality and tourism courses.

Doubt it, it will probably be those course with low demand, cause they wont be financially viable

im assuimng you didnt read all th econverstion - we already agreed that obviously lower demand courses are at risk but -

i meant mid level entry courses in low demand, as if they start cutting all the top and bottom end entry courses, it'll reduce the number of so called "smart" peopel at the uni, which is bad for the uni, and if they cut bottom end ones, the uni will go against its ideal of opprtunities for a wider range of students etc etc as more people will need to consider other options like Tafe
