C) totally irrelevant.
B) do it once wes is opened. If it's open, so it now. Otherwise do it before the first week of semester 2. Whenever you want.
Okay cool, checked it and it's opened. I got a receipt number with a list of my units so I think it's done. Awesome, Thanks Brenden?!

I love the units that I'm doing for Arts and Phil isn't at all that bad but I don't feel like it's something for me. It's a different way of thinking and while it's interesting the lecturers are fantastic, esp. Toby he's awesome, I just feel like the approach to phil is something that doesn't quite fit me. I mean you go in with your ideas of what it's like and for me, I guess maybe it was just different to the way I imagined it. Like, I wanted to do it because I'd always been interested in theories but I feel like we spend most of our times talking about why a theory is a good theory, why it's a bad theory, but not necessarily how it functions and affects people, which I was hoping we would cover. What I'm saying is that to me, it felt like rationality wasn't really rationality. I don't know if that makes sense but because of the theories that were covered, I guess I was looking for something concrete, like a conclusion that could be applied in all cases/dilemmas and it wasn't what I got. It's a good unit though if you have a philosopher's mind but it was definitely hard to adjust to, and the short answer questions to me were okay but difficult to do really well in.
Sem 1 we covered life, death and morality which is also the name of the course. We talked about whether it was permissible to kill somebody and the reasons for why it was permissible/justified. We also covered the meaning of killing of innocents, bystanders, aggressors, etc. So it's very interesting but like I said, if you don't think a certain way, you're not going to get it, but that's obviously just how I felt about it.
As for the rest of the units of my BA, I'm studying Linguistics which I absolutely love! Howie, the lecturer is hilarious and his powerpoints are so entertaining, and so his accent! Basically, Ling is my best and most loved unit, mostly because I never it would be interesting. The phonetics work is a bit hard but when you get used to it, it's not a problem.
I also do Psych which is very disorganised in terms of assessments and Moodle and Facebook always gets flooded with questions of what we're meant to be doing for the assignment as the criteria is very unclear, and often what was said in Moodle is not what what the facilitator expects you to do. But the lectures were fun and definitely intellectually stimulating, although some lecturers focused felt like they were advertising themselves and their PHds more than the actual topic. Some lecturers were a bit boring but all in all, it's a good unit. You just gotta go to the consulations and ask the facilitator what he/she wants you to do for the assessment because the answers in Moodle are often wrong.
And I do French. I have nothing to say about it because I love it. It's up there with Ling for me.
