Just wondering when get more details on it. And if someone hasn't registered, are they allowed to rock up on the day?

 

[jayadore]

Well, you can still register at http://fmx01whs.ucc.usyd.edu.au:8080/ArtsNetwork/login.jsp
annnd .. most of the first year kids are assigned a mentor, so the person who isn't registered wouldn't have a mentor - but I'm sure the mentors are nice enough to add an extra person to their group on short notice.

Best to sign up though!

Ahhhhh 2 weeks until semester starts.

I've got one of my course readers already

At least I've only got 2 2hr classes a week ^_^

First semester we have to complete two units of study - which are pretty much like normal undergrad subjects. These are:

-Practising Sociology
-New Debates in Social Theory

Both are worth 20% of the overall mark

And then throughout the year, you complete an 18-20,000 word thesis with a supervisor, which is worth 60% of the overall mark.

[Smithereens]

Yep I borrowed some books with my old card today. They just type some numbers into the computer and it is fine. You can't use the automatic borrowing machines tho

 

[jayadore]

YAY! Thanks to both of you! You guys made my night.

 

[Smithereens]

Where are the automatic borrowing machines located?

Walk into Fisher, and they're to your left. They have computer-like screens



Edit: fuckity fuck fuck by left I mean right I am fucking dyslexic

 

[jayadore]

the automatic machiens are awesomeeee fun.

By the way cupcakes, fisher curriculum is on ground level, near the automatic machines yes?
(Just checking so when I go in on Monday I don't look like an idiot running around fisher )

 

[Smithereens]

Yeah, ground floor. Its usually dead around there, but you see the occasional student just sitting in the study area atm.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

Hm should get on top of getting books and readers and whatever, I always leave it til the last minute. Don't even know what books I need yet.

Eh. When it stops raining.
