What is this "general education" subject??

At UC in SOME single degrees you have to pick some subjects that are totally irrelevant to your degree. Its like 1 or 2 subjects from unrelated fields like nursing, law, business etc.. It can't have nothing to do with your degree or your major..

Is this the same thing?

GenEd...at UNSW, all single degree's have to do a mandatory 12CP of general education, yeah its subjects that are taken from other faculties than your's.

My GenEd is sceduled for 2004, S2. But I think I may take it in session 1 ...

Hmmm sounds weird. Does it contribute to your GPA?

History of football seems like it'd be interesting. (as long as they don't show the '94 final; i never wanna see that again)

Minai, are the Gen-Ed courses (individually) 3CP or 6?

Cos I was under the impression that summer courses were VERY expensive (hence why most students don't do any over the summer), because they are not covered by HECS.

Could you post a link to where you get more info about the summer courses etc, it sounds good! Thanks.

btw, the gen-ed courses can be taken from your own faculty too I'm pretty sure! Just as long as it's not one of the courses that is already required for your degree.

I'm doing World Religions during Summer. I would be doing History of Football, but they don't let you do it twice.

Most Gen-Ed's are 3CP, except for some, like beginner languages, which are 6CP.

ND - yes they are on your academic record

sei - they are covered by HECS..goto www.student.unsw.edu.au and goto the Virtual Handbook...has details of summer gen-ed's
and yeah, u can take a maximum of 3CP of gened from your own faculty

that one sounds pretty good compared to some of the others actually - i might do it. but how would the tuts/lectures work, and seeing as tho they are arts courses there'd be (prob) no exams, so what would the incentive be to actually go?.. i obviously haven't taken a gen-ed b4

i'm liking this idea.. i just can't figure out whether you're allowed to do 2 gen-eds over the summer (eg one in XB and one in XC), cos my course requires me to do 6 units in 2004. If I can, I'd like to get 6CP out of the way
studentsonline is down (again), but at least the virtual handbook works!
