That really shits me off. The fact that people feel the need to cheat in an exam. Sure he "didnt" use it but it defeats the whole purpose of exams. It creates an unlevel playing field and isn't fair on people who dont cheat.
Every jumps on Marion Jones for taking drugs and this is very similer giving an advantage to those who cheat. I feel disgusted that people can casually go about cheating in exams.
Im in the middle of one of my 5 minutes break from studying, studying at 3am in the morning because im doing the test fairly. 3 30pm exam tomorrow for Contract Law 101.
If I ever saw that arsehole in public in an exam id come close to hitting him.

OMG that's ridiculous pity he didn't get caught! :mad: never cheated in my life its just not worth it and I really find it hard to see the sense in it.
How someone can go like nothing has happened when they cheated without working hard like everyone else is beyond me.
This is a little different (plagiarizing) but similar, when I wrote some extremely long science report that took like forever about a science experiment on Seahorse, a "friend" that I did it with asked to just have a skim through my report and I let them because silly me trusted them. Anyway find out they had used pretty much my report just wrote it a little different, the teach picked this up (obviously as they were nearly identical) and was going to fail both of us! This report pretty much made up the the course and fail this meant fail the course. Thankfully I had evidence (which they forgot which wasnt smart if your going to copy) that it was my report (USB and some drafts, etc) which cleared me after so called 'friend" tried to pin it on me!
I have no time for cheaters full stop.

Thats the worst ever but glad to see it worked out pretty well in the end. I totally agree with you cheaters are a blight on society and they cost me (non cheater) getting higher marks and better jobs. Don't worry though they will all be found out soon enough.

Business Stats starts at 6:45pm :mad:

I just had a brain fade when it came to Statute of Frauds. That and I just couldnt think of any good cases to do with Offers to the world at large.
My fault for stuffing up the multiple choice test.

sleep wasnt the issue IMO. I needed the time to study up on some of the chapters i missed out on because of work and being slack.
Went through a few red bulls though.
Only Sports Admin left, re-read some of the lecture notes tonite and get a good nites sleep:p.

Yeah Sports Admin was a piece of piss. I reckon there were only three semi difficult questions. The first was the one about comfortably correct or some shit with if a person was guilty of taking drugs. The second was list 5 different types of organisations that should be incorporated and the last hardish one was why aren't athletes allowed to receive compensation if they get injured.

I cant believe how long it took to do tjhe exam more then anything else. I was finished just after the time we were allowed to leave. I was the 2nd one out I think and I waited for my mate, who finished about 20 minutes after me.
The one about referencing the CBA'a of the AFL and the ARU was a bit of a tricky one though, as I hadnt read the CBA's. Did you use the same sport and city as your assignment for that question or pick a new city and sport??

Yeah your right i didn't reference it i just gave my opinion and the reasons why. What does CBA even stand for lol?
For the city one i did what you said and used my assignment. That was good for me because i got 16.5 out of 20 for it so that was good. If i get above 83% in that exam i get an HD. lol that would be nice.

I needed 95% to get the HD, so I cant see it happening. 70% for the distinction I think is a possibility and I hope I can get that. Who cares now I have finished exams so I can drink. (I say this on my 5th beer for the day, with many more to follow):D
Three Redbulls, one V, one hour sleep, and a couple of exams later and now I've almost reached the promised land.

For me Contract Law will be the big question for me. Should get distinctions for the rest, maybe a credit in marketing
Im going to do 3 units instead of 4 a semester next year, as having to work 15-20hrs a week plus uni is pretty tough, as well as sort out somewhere to live.

I am in the same boat but have the opinion that i want to finish my degree as quick as possible. Besides i have done alright so far so see no need to as yet.

Unbelievable.
I got 14 marks for the tute test
8.4 for the m/c and im not sure what i got for tute marks.
Amazingly I ended up with 62% for the unit.:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:
Even if I got 10/10 for the tute marks that means i got 60% for the exam:thumbsu:
Note to others. 20 odd hours of straight studying does kinda pay off, although it would be better to do 2hrs per week then 20hrs the day/night/morning before.
71 for Sports Admin and Credits for Management (60) and Marketing (68).
I am so stoked at the moment

had a cone before an art exam because it was my last one in year 12 and I was planning on not counting...
somehow must have analysed uniquely coz I got like 84
LOL mad
I would never try this, don't you get forgetful when you smoke? I guess you might've been more 'creative' though.... ;)
Ended up with Distinction for Marketing.
Just a P for the rest.
Very happy with that result. :D
What units is everyone doing next semester?
I'm booked for:
Finance Intro
Foundations of International Business
Economic Techniques
Business Technology
I managed to fit in all 4 tutes into monday and tuesday so basically 2 days of Uni for me. :cool:

Nice with the two days of uni. Im doing Foundations of Business, Fin Accounting and probably managerial accounting. If I do 4 units it will probably be corp law as the last one. This is unlikely though

Oh god... Economic Techniques was the single worst learning experience of my schooling life. We had a lecturer (also the only tutor), Thorsten something IIRC, anyway he is a hopeless teacher. Im sure you wont have the same experience, it was just that one guy which made the unit unbearable.

Exam this afternoon, Managerial Accounting. Was reading some of the old exam papers in the morning before the exam. I read all the way except one question, which I didnt check the answers for. Guess which question, the EXACT same one, came up in the exam.
Whoever made the call that most the girls are ugly as during exams, great call.:thumbsu: Some real horror stories as we waited outside...:D

Just remember, there's no point getting stressed about them. They're not the be-all-and-end-all, and you're all young enough to take your time and enjoy uni rather than stress over things that don't matter all that much in the overall scheme of things.

Iv had problems this year, plus a was having problems with Managerial. I decided to focus on Managerial, make sure I pass that, and give up on Financial. Even if I had of studied my heart out, I couldnt see myself passing that exam.
Not sure what your last name is BigBurger, but if it was one low in the order and you were in 210.102, I was the guy in the black jacket that left on the hour mark. I effectively gave up, which is the first time I have ever done that in an exam or test at any level.:(

Sorry mate I was in the the other room (213) but i know what you mean. If you did those managerial practise exams then the 101 exam was easy I think there were 3 questions from one of those two exams :thumbsu:. Good times.
I am just about to go to my last exam for this semester Corporations Law. Its another tough one and I need to pass it to pass the exam so I hope i do well. very nervous atm though.

Well unlike all of you I wasn't really interested in all my school exams and never went to Uni or Tafe so once I finished school I went straight into the railways basically.
I never thought i needed to do another exam untill I had to do my dogmans ticket to keep my job.
I was so nervous that I studied for like 5 straight days and then the night before the exam got a bad case of the Runs, all night ap and down.
About 7 am my old lady gave me some tablets to firm me up a bit and settle my guts.
I got to work early to have a coffee and clean the tubes before the Exam and did so everything was going peachy until the Exam started at 9am when my guts started to rumble, I thought if I slip out a little quiet Fart it might get me through, Unfortunatly when I tried to let a little one out this huge uncontrolable rumble came out like (like a harley starting up) and It stank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody turned and looked at me and all I could say was damm that felt good!
The instructor said thats one way to relieve tension and had a chuckle.
I felt heaps better and passed the exam with flying colours, Now I never stress out about taking Tests of that magnitude as i believe in my own abilities and have never really been nervous since. that was 10 odd years ago and I now make sure I drop me guts before I do any tests. :thumbsu:
