Uni is really fast paced. In high school you usually get a week to study a topic and really move on to the next topic when you have the firm grasp of the previous one. At uni the time to 'consolidate' you knowledge is usally after week 10-study period. It's quite normal for me to be really...

Standard procedure is to wait and see what your result is for your first assessment (also compare the result to the average result). If it's obvious that you are struggling relative to your peers, speak to your tutor/lecturer. You might want to drop a subject or two to help you ease in the pace...

Yes, take.

Past fail rate for this course is 21%...so approximately 1 in 5 people will fail. It's better than the course I had to do in my first year, quantitative method A, which is an equivalent math course with fail rate of 30% (1 in 3 fails).

Reality is that first week of uni should not be stressful. You shouldn't even be doing more than 1 hours of studies during this time. Your feeling of being overwhelmed is just your own fear of the unknown. It should wear out with 1 semester. Unless you really need the money, it may be a good...

~10% HD ~30% D ~40% Credit ~20% Pass. Not a requirement, but if the distribution deviate significantly, then tutor may be required to explain why. My tutor once told the class he got some heat from the faculty for giving an overall distinction average.

No doubt even the end is not perfect.

No such thing for commerce. Just do your tute questions. Scribble around the lecture slides occasionally.

Also, I advise you to quickly speak to your tutor/tutor-in-charge/lecturer/lecturer-in-charge/first year adviser about dropping. I don't know what your circumstance is and how you end up picking up that course, but always drop a course with caution. You can still graduate with 240 units even if...

No, census date just means if you drop before that date you don't have to pay money. If you drop after census date you will have to pay for that course. There is another date where you can drop and still don't have to 'fail' which is usually after the census date. In terms of dropping a...

Yes, you still can re-enroll to something else, do it forthwith!

Oh well, people need to feel important about themselves, just ignore them.

Socialism is the completion of the cycle, the culmination of human evolution and it shall bring with it a plateau of human flourishing.

I second that.

I just remembered that the trade practices act have been replaced, if the previous edition is indeed from 2007 then I would assume the chapters on TPA would have changed substantially. That in itself would convince me to buy the new edition, but do your own calculus, if you don't mind putting up...

I infer from this question that you are too lazy to follow through with the method I suggested (don't blame you, i cbb too). A short-cut is to just ask the lecturer "can I use the older edition". If they give you a wishy-washy answer, then just play it safe and buy the new edition.

They general method to solve these kinds of situation is: 1. Goto the library. 2. Get the new edition. 3. Get the old edition. 4. Look at the required readings in the course outline. 5. Compare the books. 6. Do you own calculus to see if it's worth it. You can photocopy from the new book...

You can talk about that. You don't have to talk about that. There will be a list of talkable topics when you receive your assignment, that should give you a general idea. I am a 4th year and I don't even know what a committal hearing or a summon look like. Like I said, you're expected to...

Can always post on mx.

You can do it anytime, but at least wait until the assignment is actually out on blackboard. You don't need to know anything, just write it as if you are a layman. FYI, don't read it as if it's a book. It basically just tells you the format of citing sources (i.e. when to use italic, in what...
