Good luck to you to.

I'm actually probably switching to arts next year, still wanting to major in ECOP, but I don't really like GOVT. Alternatively, I'm also considering international and global studies
Nice, but if you major in ecop in your current degree, you dont have to major in govt also right? Dont you just need to do like two senior units in govt or something?

Yeah but I've only done one GOVT so far, and there are other things I'd rather do with those subjects.

Only annoying thing with the change is the requirements for the ECOP major change next year, so I'll have to do an extra two core units.

What are you planning on majoring in?

For the ECOP major you now need to do Economic Policy in Global Context and Economics of Modern Capitalism - you used to have the choice between that and Social Foundations

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread

How'd u go Neb?

I thought it was a hard test overall.

1 more to go!!!

EDIT: Lost like 30 marks for (a) not knowing how to do either mechanism question (b) not knowing any of Clarke's written answer and (c) not knowing one part of Lay's work on heme.

But I don't think that's too unusual. Such a large (and gay) syllabus.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread

Just had Dispensing written exam. Very good paper :D everything was as expected, you just had to be anal as usual. The subject coordinator's a nice guy who really doesn't want to see anyone fail, so that's probably why, and there isn't too much you can examine on in dispensing anyway. The only tricky bit was the first question, which is like the last question of any paper--to differentiate the top people from everyone else. Threw me a bit, but I wrote stuff down so hopefully they'll give me partial marks for that.

The timing was a bit tight though--you only have time to check along as you write and don't have time at the end to do a grand check again, but I suppose that's good because lack of time will always be an issue in our professional lives and the exam was easy enough that if you didn't push them, there would be no way of differentiating everyone.

It felt good talking to people as well, about what we've done over the past week and it's good that I'm not the only one feeling guilty about taking a few too many days off with no study--most people started studying for today's and Thursday's exam on the weekend, which is what I did.

I think I got all that crap right. I thought I liked O-Chem.

No, I really don't.

But yeah it was hard so I'm resting a bit easier knowing a chem major found it hard.

:hat:

EDIT: You were doing a first year PHIL subject neb?

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread

These last few days of uni are really dragging on.

Let's get to the holidays already.

From my research project and exam, I need a total of 19 marks (out of a possible 60) to pass. Should be right.

I hate it when this happens...i put myself into a really good position to do well with in-semester assignments and quizzes and stuff and just burn out during exams.
