Anybody planning on studying at Sunway campus next year? 

[BigAl]

hey guys if i want to get into civil, it says i need a 60 average WAM, does that mean I need 60% in my exams for all subjects assuming I did alright for the internal stuff?

and how similar are the exams compared to the past papers usually anyway?

My friend got into civil with 72% average..he also failed one if his subjects.if the teaching stuff is the same then you can assume the past papers are pretty much representative of what's coming

Met a fellow at uni today. He introduced himself by way of "Is this the philosophy society? Are you Brenden from ATAR Notes?"
 
The answers were yes.

How'd it go?

How'd it go?

I think it went great! (Hopefully my prospective supervisor thought so too )

nvm lel

Word counts. I have a 200 word (minimum, can be up to 220) dialogue that I have to memorise and present tomorrow for korean (special consideration, was meant to be a week ago), and after exhausting all of the vocab and situation dialogues offered by intro to korean 1, I've come up at 153 words. I've had little input from my partner (I've fired off like 3 emails over the past 5 days to him that he hasn't replied to, I don't even know if he's prepared for it or what, he's a third year, I don't think he's worried about his mark for this unit).

I don't want to go off onto tangents about why this is frustrating and stressing me out a lot, but just to put my mind at ease - how much of a penalty will there likely be for coming up 47 words short? The marking sheet says nothing about word count, but they've been really insistent that 200 is the minimum. I can't just add superfluous/repetitive stuff in there now at this stage because I really need to start practicing it, it's nearly 5 o'clock jesus

Can word counts be hurdle requirements?

Or not. Names are included in the word count. Good god it's so sad that that's the best news I've heard all week.

When will you find out the outcome?

[alondouek]

When will you find out the outcome?

Good question! For the one I was involved in during the Summer, I think I found out early in the exam period.

Could anyone give me a distinction between the standards Arts course and the Arts/Business course?

I am scared that I might get over the ATAR for Arts/Business but perhaps won't get 25+ for Further Maths...

[brenden]

Well, Arts is just an Arts degree. And Arts/Bus is a Business degree at the same time as an Arts degree.

You should work harder at Further. Remember that you've got two exams, practice hard and you'll meet the 25 on your exams alone.
