True! I think Macquarie Park will be very different by the end of October...

So I went to university today, 9 am class as usual. I walked alongside Wally's Walk... and found it emptier than usual. 2 hours later, there weren't bustling crowds or huge gatherings. I left early for uni and getting there was a breeze. Still, this is only the first day.

Anyone else got university tomorrow? I wonder how earlier people are going to leave.

PACE units link your study with the 'real world' and most involve internships. Every Macquarie undergraduate degree requires you to complete at least one. Some have research projects, fieldwork, stimulations, etc. So a PACE unit may involve you doing a research science project at a local...

I think MQ are getting rid of People / Planet units??? I mean look at the requirements of 2019 degrees...

What attracts you to PR? What interests you about it? Keep in mind that alot of people who work in PR don't necessarily have degrees in it- but in fields such as English lit, Sociology, Information Systems, Journalism, Psychology, etc. Also: PR is a very 'who you know' field so expect many...

I need this break :( I've got a book review due tonight, an assignment due next week, so much weekly reading I haven't done and I'm just zonked. Oh, and my PACE subjet is boring me and I have no motivation :chainsaw2: I'm being melodramatic, probably. I just need this break!

Well, I've been reading The English Patient & The Book Thief. Still need to start Possession (by A.S. Byatt). Got an assignment due on that book on Father's Day! Heard its a really dry book that takes multiple installments to read. :( Footnotes tend to be worth it, even if done poorly in my...

UNSW or Usyd is not more difficult than Macquarie. I see that tossed around, and there is no proof. All three of those universities have standards, and if you slag off you're going to fail. OP, I suggest you research more into the course content offered by UNSW.

I'm actually enjoying this semester so far. Doing a PACE unit. Alright, but I wish there was more guidance. Lots of essay writing for other units, but I got 90/100 for one of my history assignments (shame its only worth 5%) but if I keep it up, I can get that HD I want :) What's great about...

So, I got my Distinction... :party: Other subject was a credit. Good luck everyone

Yes, History unit: MHIS218: Football as global history.... definately a highlight of my time at Macquarie loved this subject. I'm refreshing like crazy as well!

Drat, I realized I missed the cut-off for becoming a mentor in session 2! So annoyed with myself. I would like to wear a pink t-shirt :party: Does anyone have any suggestions for activities I and maybe others can do in Session 2 as an extra curricular? I'll be at university 4 days a week next...

I understand. There's INTS104 (Europe) & INTS204 (Latin America) if you are fine with studying another part of the world! If you would like to do something wildly different but relevant to everyday life, there is PHL132. I haven't done it, but alot of people on this forum can vouch for the...

Have you considered doing a People unit through OUA? There are some philosophy, sociology, politics and modern history options. What are your interests / degree you are doing? That'll give us more information to help you find a unit.

Ah, this essay is killing me :angryfire: How's everyones exam prep / essay writing going?

It's alright to -take a break- or just settle down. Time relaxing is not time wasted. If you want to do something, you can't go wrong with either imo. I'd prefer a summer unit, but with an internship it's easier to see the 'boost' it will give your CV. It depends what internship opportunities...
