    Also issues in world development pol10050....its a semester one exam though..
    Basically the exam is the same every year where there is 8 topics, choose 2.
    Its 30% for tutorial and one essay which is easy...the tutorial is every two weeks.
    So basically you only have to cover two topics and you wouldnt even have to go to lectures to find out what is going on. Its self explanatory.

    did you not miss out on assessment then by missing the first 5 weeks?lol

    Missed out on 5 per cent for attendance yeah. I was doing a different elective for a couple of weeks. First class I was in we had a aural test worth 10 per cent and I got 8/10 having never listened to the language before.

    If it wasnt for that class I would have had a nice 220 repeat fee and an extra module this semester!:D

    Is it worth paying to do additional modules beyond your allocation of 60 credits to bring up your GPA?:rolleyes:

    Intro to Project Management

    Intro to Computer Forensics

    Both very easy

    Forensics exam was the easiest exam I've ever sat, you have to pick 30 definitions from the 40 given on the exam.
    But he gives you the list of definitions before the exam, so all you have to do is learn 30 by heart and your away.

    He discourages you from writing long answers though.
    He only wants like 3-4 lines on each. It's insane...
