    Boston Marathon Explosions

    Police have announced the two suspects from the bombings were the same involved in the MIT shootings. One of the suspect (dark hatted dude) is dead, the other male is on the run. Appears from the names that were released that both are white, american males. Sadly, as soloooooo said, it appears...

    Gillard cuts $2.8b from unis

    Uh. Upfront discount has gone from 20% to nothing in just two years. I don't understand this. A discount is an incentive for income now, not possibly getting income in 5 years if they reach the threshold. Might as well just force everybody on HECS because there is no real incentive now...

    would you stop buying hard copies of books and download them off the net?

    I'm a fan of paper books. Electronics burn my eyes if I stare for too long, but I can read books all day without them hurting. I guess I also like the whole nostalgia and feel of book and paper in general. I bought a laptop when I started uni, but I only use it for assignments because I just...

    If you click on the link I gave you, and then choose Accredited Tertiary Courses 2013 (pdf, 268KB) (chose whatever year you began your degree, and if you haven't yet I'd pick the most current option) If you go down to the Queensland/JCU page it lists what courses that whatever university offers...

    Will it really make a difference?

    Not everybody lives in the city, so not everybody can go to a city university. I'm sure if you applied to an accounting firm, especially on in the area where you are currently living, it wouldn't be an issue. Generally, for firms hiring graduate accountants in cities like Sydney and Melbourne...

    Mathematics to General maths?

    Stick with 2 unit. I did almost identical subjects to you and general maths brought my atar down a lot because it doesn't scale well, and standard English doesn't either. Spend your time improving your current knowledge, it isn't too late. The general maths course is not a simplified version...

    What happens if you failed a test ...?

    Your GPA is awarded based on your final grade. This will affect your final grade as it was worth 20%. However, you say you've been achieving over 80% and (i presume) you still have a final exam weighting ~50%. Do well in your future assessments, and it won't impact you too drastically. Try...

    I need Tutor

    Firstly, speak with whomever marked your paper and ask for more feedback. Ask where you went wrong and where to improve in the future. Secondly, and I mean no offense here, but your grammar in the paragraph you've written here is pretty bad. You've made a lot of simple mistakes that could...

    Best Options for Business majors? Current & Past business students please help!

    1) Two majors, if relevant to another, will be an advantage. Two unrelated majors (Ie Accounting and Tourism Management). If you can't decide on two that go together, a sub major that would give you more appropriate skills would be better. (Ie. Major in Accounting, Minors in Taxation, Auditing...
