I am currently studying Commerce (UNSW) but thinking of transferring to Commerce/Economics to be able to major in econometrics. The reason is I have been convinced that this would display some quantitative competence that perhaps is not as obvious with a straight Commerce degree or with the...

Does anyone have a copy of the answers to the tutorial questions in the booklet?

Ditto... Fingers crossed there was some sort of mistake

I think the question about legal and non-legal responses to the evolving nature of world order question was alright. I just linked the changing nature to how conflict is moving away from conventional warfare to a prevalence of intra-state conflict. Then I discussed the responses to this.. eg: UN...

NAFTA is an agreement between the USA, Mexico and Canada...

If you used the words of the question in your response, the marker will realise that you made mistakenly labelled the wrong question... So relax :)

Are the different options for the essays scaled at all, depending on difficulty?

Isn't question 18 A? It makes complete sense whereas B isn't technically 100% true, as it would have to pass through the Senate? Also, if 20 is in fact D, think I got 19/20 :)

Yep. I spoke about the abolition of slavery, linking it to the recognition of the value of equality. I think they will accept both the rights that are under 'developing recognition of human rights' and also the contemporary issues people may have chosen. As long as you linked it to values and...

So what is the Bail Bill 2013 changing then?

D does seem to be the most correct answer. A is a weird statement as they apply to people, not an actual 'nation state'. B is not completely correct as HR are enforced through other mechanisms. C is not true as there are still widespread abuses of HR. D makes sense because the main idea is that...

I know the BOS specifies that they prefer black pen as it is easier to read, but I can't find my favourite pen in black. Would there be any issues if I used blue pen? For English I know the booklets are scanned onto the computer, so my main worry is if the marker couldn't read part of my...

I have a question regarding the online application. It asks for your subjects, your trial marks, and your 'position in year at trial'. 1) Is 'position in year at trial' referring to your trial rank, or your overall rank following the trial? 2) What is stopping anyone from lying about their...

There was a multiple choice question that asked what statement best explained the difference between monetary and fiscal policy. One option was about how monetary policy has flow on effects whereas fiscal policy can be targeted at specific parts of the economy. The other option said that the RBA...

With such a broad question you really want to pinpoint just a few strong points to make about the effectiveness of the system. The best points to explore are those in the system that through the years have been the most controversial. This includes: Police powers (right to silence effectively...

The equation |z-1-3i| + |z-9-3i| = 10 corresponds to an ellipse in the Argand diagram. It asks to write down the complex number corresponding to the centre of the ellipse. When I see these types of questions I always sub in x+iy for z and do the whole square rule thing, however is there a...

I also put B as my answer, however I think we are both incorrect. If I remember correctly the question was in the context of international law, and therefore the Crimes Act 1914 (Cth) may be a more appropriate answer? Both Acts do mention piracy.. tbh my non-ability to remember the exact...

In response to the crime question, I feel that there's other stuff to talk about and there isn't anything that is 100% necessary to put in. I spoke about the purposes of punishment, and how the judge uses his or her discretion to balance the rights in regard to these. I also spoke about...

Was something like: How does the Australian Constitution promote the protection of human rights. Give specific examples

Yep, I put jaywalking as strict liability... A couple of the multi-choice were quite specific and random, but the rest seemed okay. The human rights short answers were generous I felt - no questions about the development of a certain right. The crime essay was similar to the question my...
