Has anyone else here gotten their Uniwide access to work as an alumni? For some reason my zpass just won't let me connect to Uniwide when I'm there. I've tried following all the settings. Will follow up once I'm back in Sydney.

I personally never made notes for IPT beyond just doing past papers and referring to the syllabus. My trick was always to try and integrate as much practical and real life examples into my answers to demonstrate I thoroughly understood the content as well as it's application. The scenarios...

I did as well. Something about doing something in practice makes it a lot more enjoyable than learning about it. There's plenty of tips/advice/questions on cadetships and their general experiences in the existing thread > http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=258521

It should be on the form at unsw. I remember it from back in my time.

Seriously though back on topic guys, ADSL2+ speeds vary depending on where you live and congestion in your exchange. I am in Pyrmont and not all ISPs were willing to let me set up a connection to the exchange given how full it was (and why they have such limited capacity in a densely populated...

Re: Do people who do a degree which includes work placement get employed straight awa Agreed with OzKo above- it helps a lot and boosts your chances but nothing is guaranteed. You can do coop scholarship and not get a graduate offer through the program from a sponsor for example.

Sorry forgot to answer this but yes, they'd all be classified as employment. As would tutoring your neighbour, walking someone's dog or mowing the lawn (on a regular basis). HOWEVER where you might get caught up is if you end up listing too many things that it sounds a bit unrealistic and then...

I'd also consider the key challenge that because there's SO MUCH information and analysis overload, you need to figure out what needs saying and what doesn't. Also, a lot of editorial articles out there are very emotionally written (just look up Stern Hu)... so keep in mind that you need to...

Sorry but I disagree with some of the classifications/comments in this thread so thought I would add to it. In short, Internships- also known as vacation work, typically refer to someone who is undertaking a temporary employment role with the aim of obtaining a graduate position and the...

I don't disagree but I think at least when I did FINS2624, the tests involved more luck than actual knowledge of the content- e.g. asking a question on a random article/reading out of 20, and asking about a footnote web link in his own textbook.

China is a great country to do a case study on but then you have to keep in mind the risk that since everyone else is doing China, it'll be harder for you to stand out, and you'll need more than just inflation & interest rates to set yourself apart. Also if everyone else is quoting stats, don't...

One thing which is worth researching is the difference in how the government/central banks control the economy. Whilst Australia uses fiscal policy and monetary policy, not every country uses them in the same manner as us. There's also obviously different target bands which they use, etc. From...

Leading on from determine's post though, I'd just mention retained profits are the profits which have not been distributed either by way of dividend or some other distribution to equity holders. Remember: if a company makes a profit but doesn't distribute it as dividends, the value of the...

It's been a while since I did this topic (like... 7 years) but I'd rate them: Payment in advance (low risk) - lowest risk since you're being paid before you've even done anything so you have no risk of default from the payer/counterparty Letter of credit - less risky than bill of exchange...

Raising additional equity typically means you are diluting your own ownership interest in a company. If it is a relatively new start up company, a lot of the business isn't really bedded down whether it be strategy, products, policies/procedures, culture, etc... and by taking on additional...

I think linking business studies with current events and news will give you much better knowledge and content to write about in your essays/business case studies/etc... but even without that incentive, it makes learning about the material a lot more interesting and feel a lot more relevant if...

Used to take me 1.5 hours each way at a minimum, sometimes became 2 hours depending on my luck with bus from UNSW, running up to QVB and catching the last bus. If I missed it, then it was a train and a bus on top of that. After getting mucked around for a while and finding it hard with full...

lol well i like it and thought making it matte would make it unique. i was a bit over the evo (although in hindsight i still do miss it).

Forgot to upload a photo of my rental car in the US It's a Nissan Altima 2.5. Stablity control kicks in an awful lot on the snow! Probably saved my bacon.

For that very reason, I went for the C250... in matte black. :P Sold my Evo 10. ps. I'm in a long term relo so no need to "impress all da chixs".
