ENGL1025 - Inventing Modernity. (1 Viewer)

[Wolfowitz]

Everyone I've talked I know who does Arts is doing this unit next semester. If you are, put your name, number, course and bust size down that I may get to know you better. I'm also wanting to know what your expectations are of the course that they may be CRUSHED.

P.S - One of the criteria above isn't necessary. You can actually do Arts units from any degree, so that ain't important.

i did it last year. one of the worst english subj ive done so far. it's SO open-ended. the texts are crap, the lecturers never link it back to the main subject heading (they just retell the stories) and the tutors/lecturers are crap (except liam semler who is a God in my eyes)

be afraid...be very afraid!

 

[jellybeenz]

could it possibly be worse than engl1005 was?

 

[helmut]

engl1025?
fiction film and power?

debate due tomorrow and just finished the stupid book. anyone else doing theres and cramming in writing a dodgey last minute speech afirmative...?
could do with some tips. at the moment all i've got is

.

and some random arguements from Roy that don't even make sense

 

[walrusbear]

inventing modernity (like many other english courses) is incredibly broad, unfocused and poorly structured

but on the plus side it has some terrific texts (did in 2004 anyway)

and it is heaven compared to ENGL1005 (language and image, right??). that course sucks giant balls and everyone knows it - even the course co-ordinators.

 

[grk_styl]

haha that's funny, coz I enjoyed ENGL1005 language and image more than ENGL1025. Guess it depends on personal opinion!

Hey.
I still remember you from that party @ Marrickville.
You were sooo slutting yourself off to some guy. 'Twas way funny.
I took a photo, didn't post though 'cause no one would appreciate it.

I think that's what I'm looking for in English though.
I like broad, unboarded courses where essay marks come more from original observations and quotes than anything strictly defined as 'modernity'.

Nice one...

 

[scarybunny]

shwa are the courses really that bad?

because i actually really liked fiction, film & power. so far, i'm caning it too =)
meh, there's always time to change subjects. no english subject in uni could ever be as crap as hsc english/ext 1. retreat from the global has set the bar very very low.

 

[walrusbear]

i liked both film, fiction & power and inventing modernity

the only english courses i disliked were language and image and those 'pre-honours' courses - but they've now changed

 

[super katie]

It was terrible. Run.

I agree with this on all counts.

On a side note, if anyone wants to buy my copy of To the Lighthouse (only opened once), I will sell it to you for $10. I also have the shitty little handbooks too, if you're interested.

 

[jhakka]

So far it hasn't got much better.

I failed it too.
Really, really badly.
But I knew I would.
Goodbye English forever!
