Economics at UNSW or USYD? (1 Viewer)

[Henry_Kissinger]

You do realise that the people with the most power in the world are economists?

actually, it is political scientists

like Henry Kissinger

economists are subservient

 

[stazi]

actually its marketers. because we know how to manipulate the social economy in order to sell stuff. without us there would be no economy. and no gay sex.

Why not MACQ? They are good when it comes to talking in $$$$.

Did you exclude MACQ just because it is closer to my home and not closer to, sya, chinatown?

Edit: on the whole atta is not that bad. His teaching style and expression could improve but I like the way he teaches us to understand economics intuitively.

interesting you say that, because i think atta's focus on intuition is probably his worst characteristic. he ameks questions intuitive and then applies arbritary answers which may not reflect the student's own thinking e.g. see his answer to question b) in tutorial 6, expected future real estate prices rise so demand for bonds decreases? but also isnt it possible that ppl will demand less houses due to increased prices, so demand for loanable funds and supply of bonds decreases + int rates fall? also our answers to group assignment didnt reflect atta's answers at all but we still got marks. it's not bad when he puts these sorts of questions in short answer so students can explain reasoning but when he puts them in multiple choice it's pretty fucked up

and yea i wasnt completely serious when i sadi that, but when people like atta and de roos get teaching posts, it does indiciate to me that the usyd's economics department isnt that great in terms of teaching anwyay

I don't know about you, but i'd rather fuck my hand than fuck an asshole.

edit: fuck a guy's asshole that is, nothing wrong with going a girl up the dirtbox.

Ahaha, nothing like a greasy dinner box.

at the end of the day, both UNSW and USYD are good universities and even within the university you will have good and not so good lecturers. if you try hard and do well then there is no reason that one university will offer better opportunities than the other. i chose usyd on the basis that unsw has too many stairs and i will be late for lectures if i have to get a train AND a bus. yes i am lazy, but at least i have a real reason.

 

[minnx]

no, its women. without them we'd have to fuck each other up the ass.

haha wat if i'm a woman and i am an economist? would that allow me to be in a position to control the world??
muahhaha good that's exactly wat my ambition is!! kekeke

anyway, is usyd better than unsw? i'm looking at usyd BEc.... UNSW has too many asians... albeit i'm an asian myself... just need a new environment!! =P

wat are the internship prospects in both unis? and which uni is more competitive in economics?

but if you come there, then it'd be more Asian. Thus screwing up our uni. That's right, I blame you!

u cant escape asians in uni business faculties in syd/melb

If u live closer to Macq, u might want to choose Macq, i heard their teaching/lecture quality is much better than Sydney, if u want to do a cadetship or internship with RBA, it doesnt matter which uni, as long as u get D average and an economics or finance degree.

Macq is good for actuarial and has a decent commerce faculty. But you are better off going to Syd or uNSW if you get the marks they have a better eco faculty
