i'm pretty sure you can't do just any units in the Arts handbook. 36 credit points come from govt, ecop, and soc or anthropology (you can only do either one not both for core), the remaining should come from your elective, which is either the four mentioned before, psychology, geology, economics, work and organisational studies or management.I have another question about this degree. Because it is restricted, I was a bit confused about the subjects we were allowed to choose.
For example, I've chosen two subjects from Sociology, two from Government and International Relations and two from Political Economy. I also chose two subjects which I wasn't sure about when adding them, but I was allowed to do, that's Academic English and Academic Writing. One runs during the first and second semester and the other is part of winter school. Were they correct in allowing this?
If I wanted to replace these two subjects and choose a language for example, would I be allowed to do that? Do they give us the option of choosing two subjects (12 credit points) from anywhere in the Arts handbook?
Read the handbook because I am pretty sure you can do any subjects from the Arts faculty.i'm pretty sure you can't do just any units in the Arts handbook. 36 credit points come from govt, ecop, and soc or anthropology (you can only do either one not both for core), the remaining should come from your elective, which is either the four mentioned before, psychology, geology, economics, work and organisational studies or management.
with that in mind i am sure you can't do languages
Even though I usually get good grades in my essays, I'm generally told the same thing about my writing skills. So I thought these two subjects might help. No bludging, I promise.@Path2Felicity
Don't know about your first question but generally students aren't allowed to overload in first semester (or even first year I think).
Why do you want to do WRIT1001 and 2? From what I've heard they're boring, bludgy subjects (unless of course that's what you intend to do - bludge). The lecturer, Bill Foley, was a great lecturer for Linguistics though.
I think I already have all the foundation units covered for a first and second major. I just want 6 extra credit points during semester 1 to be able to do both the writing subjects.You only really have two subjects in your first year that aren't compulsory so you are limited in your choice. You've got to think about what majors you may be interested in doing. If you want to do a second major, you are better off choosing introductory units in the area of study (I'm pretty sure it is compulsory too)
They look rightCould you please tell me if the following looks right to you?
First semester subjects are looking like this:
Introduction to Sociology 1
Economics as a Social Science
Australian Politics
Academic English and Academic Writing (extra 6cpts needed)
