Depends on how you treat the subject. To get an H1 your writing really does need to be edited to the extreme. Your tutor's comments absolutely must be followed exactly, because it's completely subjective and if they don't like it when they mark it...bad luck

Yea the subjective nature of those subjects poses a risk, did you do film scripting? you do ok?

--- Quote ---Mmm, all the philo subjects ive looked at have exams(still not discouraging) the creative writing looks good (film scripts), Russ did you do 25% breadth or just the minimum?

Did 2 creative writing, one philosophy and one uni breadth (genetics and ethics). Probably going to do two more breadth this year, both about population health/control
Don't worry about your GPA when picking subjects, that's a great way to screw yourself over. Why should the advice "do what you enjoy" be any different at uni than at VCE?

How did you find creative writing? & How did the majority go - did it seem to most that it was difficult to get an HD - is it possible for an average writer to get this?
Unfortunately I will worry about GPA, since I'll try to transfer to UNSW after first year, so I really need perfect grades for this over the year to raise my ATAR to be competitive.

A few of my friends got H3-H2Bs in creative writing. I had a look at some of their stuff and, to be honest...it was shithouse. lol

An article about upfront CSP payments... I've noticed a few have you have been asking whether you should pay upfront to get the 20% discount and such.
