dem127 since im doing that

 

[Lou283]

I remember reading somewhere that PHL137 - Critical Thinking is a good unit especially for Law students. Can't remembers which post it was in but it convinced me to do it. It's next available next yr though not sem 2 this year.

 

[tajid73]

Agree with the 2 ppl above.
DEM127 is easy and PHIL137 is just common sense (for law student, it should be a piece of cake)

 

[sean1990]

Unfortunately I need it for sem 2.

Am I able to do dem127 as a unit if it is run by the dept of business? If I'm doing law/ commerce majoring in finance (it's not a core unit tho)

keep the evaluations coming !!! I'm sure they will help others ... Any bad comments or warnings not to do a unit is also welcome

 

[Ritz1024]

does not matter.

 

[Lou283]

One has to be outside your degree but the other just has to be outside your major so Dem would be fine as long as your other one is from the arts or science faculty.

AHIS - Ancient History

• AHIS140 - Myth in the Ancient World

This unit has quite a bit of reading, but in all honesty it's easy as hell to get very good marks in. I found the content to be really interesting (particularly the comparison of Genesis with earlier ancient mythology) and in the end the exam is pre-circulated. Probably the easiest AHIS unit on offer yet still pretty interesting, win win.

Im doing HRM107 this semester.. i hope thatl be easy!

Im doing PSY350 next... I had to fit a 200/300 in and it seemed the best choice.

No from what I heard it was not.

 

[sean1990]

im thinking of doing ACBE100- academic communication in business and economics.
I tried to get advanced standing for this as i did a similar unit- "business academic skills" at uws. I was not allowed, however in discussion, the linguistics teaching staff basically said I was "too smart" to be doing a unit like this (as it was previously designed for international students with poor english). Either way, it is a recognised people unit so hopefully it is ESL so I can smash it lol. They even say on their handbook page for this unit that it is most beneficial to students who obtained less than or equal to band 4 in english.

If I find it difficult I can always change up until census date is that correct?

thanks alot guys, I'll be sure to review whatever I do for everybody elses benefit.

Cheers.
