Hey guys, wondering if there's anyone still around (looks pretty quiet here) who can give me a quick summary or rambling sequence of thoughts on studying accounting at UTS, studying at UTS in general, and the Master of Accounting programme in particular. I applied on a whim through the UTS...

Aw no, I'm sorry, I must of come off as pretty angsty, I actually felt a bit insecure with this hot blonde Finnish chick doing all the same classes as me >_> I didn't mean to imply anything about you personally :( Cleared up now though! I would probably recognise the guy who did those 3...

The particular combination of those 3 philosophy subjects was shared by two people. One of them was this amazing Finnish exchange student girl who I sat next to in classes (or it could have been swedish.. not sure.. one of those countries anyway), the other one was MEE (sorry to disappoint you...

Philosophy results out!! HPSC 3023 Psychology & Psychiatry: History & Philosophy - 63.0 Pass Blargh got 52 for essay, so must have got 75ish on the exam. Not bad. PHIL 2619 Philosophy of Mathematics - 73.0 Credit Yay :) PHIL 2627 Philosophy and Psychiatry - 78.0 Distinction WOOHOO :D PHIL...

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) ***PHIL 2610 Exploring Nonclassical Logic (Smith) Ease: 3/10. MUCH more difficult than Introductory Logic. No friendly weekly exercises. Assessments seemed pretty indifferent - 2x 50% assignments, no feedback, just raw marks. No scope for improvement...

Philosophy results out!! 69 credit for nonclassical logic. WOOOOOOO thought that was a pass for sure, musta scaled it up heaps.

No philosophy or HPSC results back yet. Grr HPSC... the first 2 essays were marked within 4 days. The last essay (and final assignment), still haven't got marks back after 3-4 weeks. Siiigh. Maybe they dont' want us to know our raw marks 'cos then we'd know the exact scalage? =/

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2011) me me pick me

Philosophy: Pretty good, there is *usually* a very high quality of lecturers / tutors. Tutes tend to be on the large size, but there are plenty of slackers and ppl who are too shy to say things, so it's still easy enough to distinguish yourself. The essay/exam asessment system is great if you...

It won't let me log on, it keeps saying I have entered an incorrect username or password. What is going on? :( EDIT: It seems they have upgraded the password requirements again, so I just needed to update it. Easily fixed. No subjects up yet.

Philosophy results just came in at 7pm. Woohoo! PHIL 2600 20th Century Philosophy: 80.0 Distinction PHIL 2606 Knowledge, Reason and Action: 70.0 Credit Bit disappointed with PHIL 2606, oh well, was a VERY last-minute essay. Shame about the 30.0 in ENGL 2650, otherwise I'd've had a pretty good...

MUSC 1530 Fundamentals of Music I: HD 98.0 La la la. Don't clap, throw money :-)

Re: MUSC1503 help me out if you know about this course Aw man. DON'T tell the lecturer (Hindson), he'll go spare. Clefs, good. Scales, cadences, good. What about intervals and triads? You'll get a lot of practice in tutes though, so yeah, you've got a good advantage already. :-) However: Can...

My predictions: PHIL 2600 20th Century Philosophy: D PHIL 2006 Knowledge, Reason & Action: D MUSC 1503 Fundamentals Music I: HD ENGL 2650 Reading Poetry: F (est. 30, if they give a mark, which I don't know that they do)

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) Lol no, you wouldn't have known he was an internationally-important-VIP at all (I mean that in a GOOD way!). I can see how some lecturers in that sort of field would go on and on about their own stuff, but he was great. =) To keep this from being...
