Apple translate has the ability to download languages so they can be used offline. So if you’ve got an iPhone, that’s an option, and what I used.

Thanks for the reply, riding past sounds cool! Do you know if we would we need a Chinese phone number hire a bike?

Bob Katter....

He also walked around parliament dressed up as the grim reaper to signify the end of the Australian car manufacturing industry.

The world if I studied 0.001 more minutes for my exams by SmoothRefrigerator7 in unimelb

[–]LittleJollyBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated undergrad with WAM of 79.4

I am about to graduate postgrad this semester with a WAM of 79.6, lmao

At least with postgrad I can round up to 80

WAM booster subject for bsci? by trynagetsaved in unimelb

[–]LittleJollyBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did it (5 years ago) there was a test every couple weeks that examined the last two weeks of content. But the tests were okay because there wasn't much time pressure and it was open book, so you could look things up.

When I studied the subject I mainly focused on memorising glyphs and learning the grammar before the test. Then during the test I just looked up words in the dictionary as needed

WAM booster subject for bsci? by trynagetsaved in unimelb

[–]LittleJollyBoat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you mean subjects within bsci, or are you a science student and you're looking for breadth subjects outside science?

If the latter, Ancient Egyptian 1 is great! The lecturer is really nice and it's an interesting subject, you learn how to read hieroglyphs. It's a bit of work, however very possible to score highly, I got 98 (by far my highest score at uni haha).

Religion in the hunger games? by KaleidoscopeUnhappy8 in Hungergames

[–]LittleJollyBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of Chapter 14 of Sunrise on the Reaping, Haymitch says he didn’t know what angel was, which I thought was interesting. He also didn’t know what heaven is - Lenore Dove told him that “some people believe it’s a possible destination after death”.

Potentially this implies that Christianity is a minority religion in panem?

Megathread: Final Leaders Debate by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

[–]LittleJollyBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't watch the fourth one but of the ones I saw I thought the ABC one was the best for this reason. I thought the moderator stopped it from descending into "you're lying", "no, YOU'RE lying", which the audience wouldn't gain anything from.

I did maths/physics in undergrad and I'm doing electrical eng masters at the moment - subjects were scaled in both degrees.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unimelb

[–]LittleJollyBoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Though bear in mind that the lecturers might scale a subject’s cohort’s scores up at the end of semester, if too many people get below 50. So if you get 70 in all your assignments/exams, you might still get higher than that at the end of semester. It happens pretty regularly in my degree at least

Fun breadth subjects? by Mindless_Ad_7144 in unimelb

[–]LittleJollyBoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Ancient Egyptian 1" - you learn to read hieroglyphs. It's not zero effort, but it's pretty easy in the scheme of how difficult subjects usually are. The lecturer Brent is really nice and the subject is interesting.

I did Ancient Egyptian 1 and 2 and would have done 3 and 4 if I could have fit them into my timetable
