Political Economy and Gov +International Relationships Assessments (1 Viewer)

[Silver Persian]

Can someone give me an idea of what the assessments for these subjects are like (eg test vs essay vs speech and difficulty levels)

 

[cimbom]

Apparently final semester exam for Govt/Int Relations (World Politics, govt1202) was 40 or something multiple choice?

As for final exams, you can view some past ones @ http://www.library.usyd.edu.au/exams/economics.html

For ecop it's mostly essay based followed by a final exam (with occasional tutorial papers in some).
Government subjects are often also essay based (with a final exam).
Both disciplines also require tutorial participation.

*humps ujuphleg's leg*

 

[cimbom]

Thankyou too ujuphleg! You've covered half of my year one subjects...

 

[cimbom]

they can change the examination structure and course outlines between years you know?

what is the obsession?

you will find out in a couple of weeks after your first lecture what the course structure will be.

Jeez.

Here's a hint: in each eco faculty subject, the mark is out of 100.

Really, 100? I'm just thanking the person who posted such information for taking the effort to do so, that's all. It's not like i'll be waiting to do an essay on the cuban missile crisis.

 

[Phanatical]

Almost all subjects in almost all faculties are out of 100.

 

[cimbom]

I started my cuban missile crisis one week after it was due. I handed it in three hours later. I didn't do too badly on that essay either. So maybe you should wait.

Oh, thankyou for that. Now I definitely wont start it. Because I was going to, you know, the one on North Korea and it's evil nuclear weapons program too.

:rofl: Chill, Darling.Uni should be fun, not a giant worry session.

P.S: If you ever want help/advice for any subjects I did feel free to pm me.

P.P.S: Only if you want to of course

P.P.P.S: I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (which basically means that even my shrink thinks i'm a dickhead). So take it easy on me, I can't really stop being a bastard.

That's okay... thankyou. .
