Back on topic: Has anyone made much progress on their hw/studies??
Yes, I have: Today I concentrated on English Language, and I have to say, it is the most awesome subject I did, except biology!
When you read the stuff, read various books and opinions and write down notes (from the book, and your analysis and thoughts) you see society in a whole new perspective, and you can understand society simply based on how they used language.
That's what I learnt today, and to me that's more valuable to me than learning the course. I cannot wait to write essays on English Language, because I can then express my thoughts on a subject that I really like and know about.
A small example: the fact that Australians are starting to move away from the "posh" accent displays that we are becoming more of a classless society (that's the crux, it's more complicated than that, and takes a lot of explaining)
