    What is this 'communicative' method? I assume it's the method that made me drop my language... I was hoping USYD might offer something more 'concrete'

    sufficient time for an assignment?

    :rofl: I love the question. 10 days? Recently, we only ever got 14 days to do an assignment. My general rule, to do well for 1500 word essay and to not be working under pressure, was give yourself a few nights to research and think logically about your argument and where the research is going...

    iLectures

    how do people study at uni...?

    I made notes from the lecture, detailed notes and never touched a textbook. I then memorised the notes, focusing on understanding them at the same time. I recommend this method :p

    Anyone work at Macquarie Centre?

    Lectures

    Handwrite your notes straight onto the lecture notes they give you imo, it's easier, lighter and less annoying.

    Language/Credit Points

    Contact the course convenor for the approval. Good idea to get a 'waiver form' and fill it out and bring it to the convenor. You used to be able to get them from estudent. I hope my knowledge isn't out of date

    Language studies

    What is the best way to go about learning a language? Has anyone done a certificate or diploma in languages? What are the purpose of these courses? I have a fairly ok grasp of a language (including some uni studies), but I am looking to further my knowledge - I assume a certificate or diploma...

    2009 Macquarie Uni Offers / General Chatter

    Re: 2009 Macquarie Uni Offers Psych and stat units should have ilecture. Drop the course convenor an email to check - I used to.
