iPads don't really do too well in class for anything other than as a notepad with a stylus. The detail isn't there and it's difficult to multitask and search stuff compared to using a laptop. In all honesty though pen and paper works best because you are not bound by any structure an can write...

Pen and paper is fastest for scribing notes and graphs particularly for content which isn't just words. That being said having a laptop is very useful when you want to update your assignments, type up notes in breaks, check uni mail (not all uni emails work well on a smartphone and you may want...

My Australian employer provides me with a blackberry, my US employer provided me with a choice (so I got a 4S), and my personal phone is the 4 which I'll probably upgrade to the 5 since my contract with 3 is up for renewal in July/August. I keep a Samsung D600 (old I know) as a spare phone with...

I would never recommend Norton 360 anymore. I used to be a Norton fan (buyin their AV, as well as 360 before realising it was a dumbed down version) but then each year they added bloat and junk as they tried to justify forcing people to buy new versions and ceasing to provide definition updates...

I just like Civics in terms of reliability, the way they drive, the quality of the construction, etc... but then like I mentioned in the previous post, you need to actually inspect the cars themselves since at that age, problems can arise regardless of how good they once were. Agreed that safety...

Re: CA Program You need to have completed ALL prerequisite subjects. Typically this is either most or all of your degree. I know some people who managed to start CA in their final semester of uni but really, it's not recommended. There's no incentive to do that since it means you're doing a lot...

C250 CDI. I went for the 4 door for practicality and I'm not a fan of 2 door 4 seater cars. I still remember when my cousins picked me up from the airport in a 645Ci and it was raining. They are big guys so I had to sit in the back and fitting the luggage was bad enough (I also wish they didn't...

Audit is something which can't really be taught in a classroom. They try to convert it into a set of rules and procedures to follow but it's the application to practical situations which makes it difficult. To put things in perspective, I've been working in audit since first year uni (as a...

Given that it's a 13 year old car, I think the bigger concern will be which one is in good condition and will be mechanically sound for your driving needs. The Civic will probably be the most expensive but then I'm also a huge fan of the Civic so if you can find a good condition one of these I'd...

A banana for breakfast.

I think now that I'm a lot older and fly quite a bit for work, I appreciate (economy class) airline food a lot more. I mean it's not fantastic, but even on QANTAS it's not that bad anymore. I usually finish my meal. Maybe I'm just less picky now. If you're really hungry you should either BYO or...

it's loads of fun. can't complain.

Depends on major. Most people I know got graduate jobs in accounting or finance with a single Commerce degree straight away either through completing internships/vacation positions or applying for graduate programs. That being said, some companies and industries such as management consulting or...

Depends if the OP is a qualitative or quantitative kind of person. I wanted something easy and enjoyable, and got that with international corporate governance. I also found bank financial management pretty good as it was relevant to my work and I found it pretty easy- but the lecturer wasn't...

Depends on the degree, but in general no. I'd say the first year courses are typically easier to pass but harder to do well in because there's a large number of people you're competing with, but at the same time the university probably doesn't want too many people failing the prerequisites...

I got over my Sennies because they kept breaking so ended up buying Beats Solo HD the other day and pretty happy with them. Look classy too compared to my other option of SC Aviators.

My personal phone is an iPhone 4 32gb but my work phones are a Blackberry Bold 9900 and an iPhone 4S 16gb.

The flaws of online polling :)

Re: UTS B.business vs Macq B.comm?? Depends what kind of person you are and what you want to achieve out of all of this. Also depends on majors and maybe even what's convenient for you. That being said, I've heard Macquarie courses are much more comprehensive (i.e. challenging) and there are...

sorry for slow response- you really should edit your own post rather than replying since it makes the thread look likes it's been responded to! I have met people who have done post grad biz at UTS and they didn't seem to mind it too much. TBH I think all the major unis are quite the same in...
