To be honest, I would try pretty hard to not let the transport thing get in the way. I realise it can be very frustrating and annoying to have to trek it out all the way to the City every other day. But the way I see it is short-term loss, long term gain. By the way Macquarie is doing a lot of...

Arts is pretty much the same, I haven't sat a tutorial at Macquarie university in any of my class (arts/law) that is more than one hour. To be honest, I don't think for Arts it matters so much. When I was at my old uni, we had 3 hour lectures and 2 hour tutorials and I used to hate my life...

Hi Existential, I do Arts/Law at Macq. I'm doing a major in sociology and I'm a third year student - I finish Arts this semester. I transferred into the combined law program from interstate. I was doing just a BA prior. Anyway, from what I've heard/read/been told. The Macquarie law faculty...

to be honest, it is essentially much the same as what you saw... narrow reaching corridors.... Nothing special at all, it's certainly no UNSW or USYD..

Sure... I transferred from my BA at the end of my second year (going into my third year), I had between between High credits to distinctions with only one HD. lol

Not internally, no. But I transferred from another interstate university into the BALLB from just a BA.

seriously? They're preventing you from graduating? But surely if you have the right amount of credits and you've satisfied all the core units you should be eligible right? But I am in a similar situation to yours. 3rd year Arts, 1st year law. At the end of this semester I thought I could...

How on earth did you calculate your raw mark? It's funny you should mention this, for two of my subjects last semester I got a 73 and a 64 respectively. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I was perhaps scaled down.

So I keep hearing, and yet nobody wants to do anything about it lol...

lol well from what it sounds like the law school reputation is already shot.

What do you think the chances are of the law school going bust? And do you think its on their radar to even fix these issues?

Well that was rather insightful... I can't believe they ignored pretty much every single request in that letter... that's absurd.

Hmm... Interesting... I'd love to get my hands on that letter posted on the last page... too bad it's offline... anyone have a copy?

wow... that's really bad.

What was the reasoning behind the academic restructure to begin with? Is it related to the introduction of People/Planet and PACE units or the new library or both? It completely sucks that the law school is now a subsidiary of the Arts faculty.

haha, I would love to transfer, but I'm doing my final 2 units of my Arts degree and if I transfer to another uni, I won't get exempted so i'd basically be throwing my entire arts component away.

I heard about that petition, I think it was last year. If the concern is as widespread as you say, I think it should be resurrected. Any idea on why they have cut back the teaching hours? I assume this is attributed to understaffing, which is probably also related with the delay in getting...

What do you (or your mates) mainly attribute that decline to? This is my first year in the law school, so I haven't really known what to expect, but I've heard two tutors that I've had for law this year comment on the 1 hour tutorials. I do most certainly think that 1 hour is definitely...

Hi guys, After the Dean's email was sent, I went into the faculty (on the same day) and had a chat to a few people. Basically we have to do this unit, unless you are graduating (or expecting to graduate at the end of this year). I mentioned that I had enquired about this unit earlier in...

Hi Guys, I emailed Archana about this unit earlier this year, she basically said that if you are currently enrolled in the law program there will be no requirement to undertake this unit. As far as I understand this unit is being rolled out as of 2012 to coincide with the already existing...
