is maq easy 2 bludge??

 

[doe]

depends on your degree

u can bludge at any degree (see my sig), regardless of uni

 

[ignition]

and pass tho?

 

[doe]

it depends on your degree and your natural ability at a subject.

undergraduate degrees are mostly about proving you have the ability to work unsupervised and the motivation to spend long hours working on boring things. if you just want to bludge through, and im not saying its a bad thing, do something like arts (no offence arts people, but your workload just isnt the same as science/actuarial). arts at least will be interesting and fun, and you'll meet a variety of people from different backgrounds. uni is a good time to grow up, so doing a bludgy degree can be beneficial. but dont do a degree like marketing/commerce, come out with a pass average and expect to get anywhere quick careerwise.

each to their own and all that blah blah

yeah you can bludge and pass. just take a ba like me.

In agreement with doe. But I don't think Arts is any easier at Macq...

 

[iambored]

i'm not in agreement with anyone who says mac is a bludge. it's the same as any other uni, if you work yo uwill do well, if you don't work you will fail. don't think "club mac" = no work, everyone thinks we do no work but we actually do.

 

[golfstick]

it's called club macq because we get heaps of holidays

some of the first year ecos courses have some really high failure rates

oh crap!!!!!, but i got some cr's

buts so hard to keep motivated!!! i go through cycles of it.

Actually, Macq has imo very high failure rates for it's subjects (and that's not just Actuarial). For example, COMP125 has a 50% failure rate (like last year). Or even the generic first year ECON110 has a 20% failure rate. And they aren't even suppose to be "hard".

 

[jlh]

actually MQ's econ110 is harder than USYD's econ1002.

a few friends asked me some macro econ related questions and having done macro econ at usyd, i have to say i was stump....

so the perception that MQ is a bludge is grossly under estimated...

but as doe said, whether you pass or not depends on your natural ability and interest at a subject....

what degree were you looking at doing ignition?

my comment btw was meant to be sarcastic
