Honestly simpak I don't think anyone has expectations for you to be getting >95% except for yourself... and if they do they they shouldn't be listened to.

And even if you don't do as well as you usually do, we'll still be proud!

It's clear that you've worked incredibly hard for your entire degree, and at the end of the day you will still get at least a >90 average which is something not many people can achieve.

Currently choosing subjects for next year. Got my majors etc down pat, just need to work out breadth subjects... How have you all incorporated breadth into your study plans? 1 bludge breadth to boost your average up, or have you gone for a breadth track? Have you done just bludgy breadths like wine, music etc or the legit ones from arts/science/environments faculties? Thanks!

All my breadth subjects have been/are going to be economics subjects haha. Intro Micro, Intro Macro, Inter Micro and Behavioural Economics. Also did Chem 1 last semester before I realised econ was breadth, because I wanted to do a science stream.

Planning to do other subjects from outside the Arts faculty through a concurrent diploma. Namely, Globalisation and the World Economy (econ again), Human Rights and Global Justice & Global Health: Security & Sustainability (these two are uni breadth) and Globalisation and the Law (a law subject). Really excited for the uni breadth ones! Six of the subjects I'm planning to do have the word 'global' or 'globalisation' in them though which is kind of weird.

Did one breadth which is pretty much summed up by this strange and zany CNN clip with my professor in it?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk5PnBKyUaI
My fave bit: the guy trying to talk about amygdalas.

[LeviLamp]

What's it called?
I need to meet this man.

EDIT: Lectures 4 to 8 are now up on the summary file (though 5-8 are still unformatted), and 9-15 should be done by the end of today (by which I mean ~5 am).

[simpak]

Haha http://crim.sas.upenn.edu/pc/course/2012C/CRIM370 there you go Levi!
He's a really great lecturer because his class was 3 hours in a row but it felt like half an hour...he's super engaging!
