USYD Summer School (1 Viewer)

[kimmeh]

i'm in yr 11 and i'm interested in the USYD summer school thing for HSC 2004... does anyone know anything about it?

i dont know if its worth is for $550... umm can someone explain to me how it is run, selection criteria, if it counts to anything...

Firstly, which subject(s) are you thinking of?
It's best to visit them from the usyd website.

Secondly, it's probably not worth it unless you really want it.

 

[iambored]

i think u'd get more out of it if u'd learnt the stuff, and it was revision, but thats just me. i prefer to learn in class, and revise later

 

[pri]

ring em up and ask em , they are very helpful, I would explain it all but Im on high stress levels and a thousand ppl (ok 20) have asked me already!!

 

[kimmeh]

bleah~ u think i wanna throw 550 down the drain? pfttt....some poeple... like i'm asking.. is it possible to fail...

summer school hey?
i hear it's highly worth it. (one of my cousins took it), said something about "valuable insight into the content of the course", or something
although, 550 is pretty steep, and considering i live in campbelltown (cheap-bogan-country-bumpkin-ville for those of you who havnt heard of it), its way out of the question for me.

ahaha i bloody rekon.. campbelltown is a damn hole....

unless u catch the east hils line thats fast *hugs east hills line*

really?
well...my cirriculum teacher was happy for me to do it..then got pissed at me for deciding to leave this school ahahahhaa

 

[pri]

its really easy to fail as the lecturers mark harshly (compared to skool teachers)

in a nutshell both courses in terms of asessments are a lot of work, but if u enjoy it and are genuinely interested in em for the content (not the uni credit) then do it.

I did both coz I wanted to do both, and I am genuinely interested in philosophy and science communication, and want to go to usyd (an still do!)

 

[kimmeh]

seriuos? bahh...i'm sure effort will be good

can u apply for both? since when?

what sessions did you do them in ?

 

[pri]

I did mind and moral. in the winter skool (2002) and prob solving in science in the summer skool (2003)

 

[kimmeh]

ahh i seee
did u like go to the location on a daily basis?

 

[pri]
