Academic honesty just means not ripping off other peoples ideas or copying slabs of writing and passing it off as your own. I'm not sure what your friend meant by you have to "do it" before you hand in your assignments...perhaps they meant that you have to reference before you hand in your...

*waves* I'm a 3rd year Speech path student. Be prepared to leave your life at the door, to make way for 4 years of caffeine driven hell.

Yeah, recommended readings are not worth the purchanse-if you get stuck just seek them out from the library or even from your lecturer (a lot of lecturers are generous with lending out their books!), as you will probably only need it once or twice at most. But even a lot of required books turn...

Well, I assumed I wasn't going to get it, so I didn't get it much consideration. And I only received the offer like 3 hours ago. And I'm not at the end of the course, I just finished 2nd year. And no, we don't get an information session or anything like that...about a month before last...

Is anyone actually doing honours at the moment or know someone who has done/is doing it? I'm very curious about the workload. I just recieved an offer for honours, however I know very little about it and have only 3 days to decide if I want to do it or not. I'm doing speech pathology, and in...

I'm with you, although heaps of people in my course wore their year 12 jersey to UNI when I was in first year. In 2nd year most of them went away... Seriously, UNI is no fashion show, and those who treat it as one have a bigger chance of getting mocked that those who dress sensibly. However...

I've lived in Sydney for nearly 20 years and I still love it.

I'm only guessing, but I think maybe someone has tried to give you reputation but they haven't been here long or don't have many posts or something? I've got 1 grey panal (with no comment) and it didn't change my number of points...and I remember someone saying that people who have been here...

I really don't understand what point you are trying to make...that being born gay is the same as being born retarded because they are both "deformities"? For starters, whether you consider homosexuality to be a deformity or not, I don't see what thats got to do with whether or not they can...

No, I don't think you can really say that. If you're parents are gay, what's the difference? However, if you're born retarded, there is an obvious difference. I am definately all for allowing homosexual marriages. I don't see how it makes any negative impact on society, and I think the whole...

I don't think you necessarily have to say who you are, but I think giving people negative points and not leaving a comment with the reason is stupid...how is the person going to stop pissing you off with their posts if they don't know what they've done?

I used to worry about having a HECS debt, and wanted to try to pay each semester up front so I wouldn't have to worry about it later on...but after first year, I gave in. Knowing you owe thousands of dollars isn't a nice feeling, but in reality, they take it out of you pay so gradually that you...

I love Hitchcock movies, they're basically all I watch these days. Faves of mine are Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, and The Man who knew Too Much.

Um, I've been known to do both from time to time...squash at far more sparse intervals though.

Before Big Brother came along, his band had done concerts that had raised thousands of dollars for the cause. And that was when he was a nobody who no one would be recognising in the street, so you couldn't really say he and his band did it for the personal acclaim. If all he wants to do is look...
