    Transferring Enquiry

    Hey mates @ ANU. I'm getting a little worried that, despite the cut-offs being substantially lower than its Sydney counterparts, that I may not manage to get into the Law/Asian Studies course at ANU. Which if is the case, that I don't make the cut-off, I was wondering which courses would...

    1 year of journal entries in 3 hours? If that includes all the past drafts, and research, and stuff, then that's quite impressive.

    Inspiration

    Been there, done that. :D Some things for you to think about if you want to take this type of direction panda-bum (you should really have posted this in the main forum, you would get a lot more responses): The concept here is viable, but how are you going to build on it? What exactly are...

    The Official BOS 'Hoorah I'm Done!' Thread 2005

    I'll be shouting "Banzai!" with the rest of you as soon as my work is finally printed on plastic paper (instruction manual style). T_T Come on... come on.... As for internal assessments, I lost a few marks in Viva Voce, but that's about it.

    Does anyone have information about font choice?

    As long it isn't excessive, and if there's a point to it, other than "it looks nice". Size, font AND colour to me seems excessive. It should really be used to emphasise something key. If you're not sure whether or not its going to really add something to your work, just don't do it (at this...

    A crime to be cliche?

    Cleaning-obsessed mother is definitely a cliche. But that's not what I meant by narrative voice. By narrative voice, I mean "the artful way" the story is told, the how. How are you telling the story? The checklist, of things you may look for in narrative voice, is as follows (from Margaret...

    A crime to be cliche?

    Doesn't necessarily mean automatic death, it really depends on how well it was written. Providing a completely different narrative voice in your work, could give it that "freshness" to revitalise your marks. As a cliche, generally, the chances are it may not be overly impressive/enjoyable for...

    bibliography

    I'm sure if they have doubts on your research they'll most likely ask to look up your journal, which should have, in some form or another, a bibliography.

    any non-asians doing continuers?

    There are two non-Asian Chinese Extension students in my class. I'm a Korean doing Chinese Extension, so I don't fit in under that umbrella you set up in the topic name. Go to one of those Chinese Poetry Recital Competitions, or Chinese Speech competitions and you'll see chock-a-block amount...

    Guild Wars

    Well actually, in RPG mode (there's two modes, PvP, and RPG; though you can still PvP in RPG mode), you can still level beyond lvl20, its just that it requires too much effort; way too much effort; exponentially extremely uber amount of effort. Basically, you're wasting your time trying to level...

    Using different font?

    You're joking, right? People that manage to get into the showcase, are seen by the markers to be of a notch higher than the submitted material, overall; and as a side note thats not necessarily based on the highest overall HSC mark. There are apparently only two types of postmodern works...

    Is Japanese originate from chinese?....

    Lol. Yeah, you'll occasionally see Chinese characters here and there in Korea as a shorthand for things, occasionally in newspapers. Koreans learn some of that Chinese form language in Korean high school, and some of the old words are still in the language, so for example there are two ways of...

    Is Japanese originate from chinese?....

    Before 800s, the Koreans used a form of Chinese language. Nowadays, that language is learnt as extracurricular on top of the developed Korean language.

    Is Japanese originate from chinese?....

    I was more in referral of, if Koreans were to be related with anyone, its definitely the Mongolians, but as the years have gone by, they have tended to "shift" away. As a more recent observation, Koreans and Japanese are supposedly more in relation with each other. A large portion of Northern...

    If I somehow fail the HSC, or don't get into any of courses I want to, for some reason or another, then I'm off to develop my martial arts into a profession.
