Open book exams

Hi everyone.

My name is Joe. Last year i had one open book exam. I really hate it. Its too tough man....I dont know why university has open boox exams.... for law students and statistics students its good to have these exams...but why us. professors also set very hard paper. I think that their should be some kind of rule that student can opt for open and closed book exam. what you say ??. Last year when i was giving this exam i did not get time to see the book in just 2 hr to complete the paper...It is a open book but guys you won't get time to see the paper and secondly paper is too tough. I think univ should not have this paper.

PLZ give your views...!!!

Exam Fever

Hey guys…..its me jakie… I am doing masters in marketing….!!

I know these days every one would be very busy with their exams preparation. Even I am very tensed about exams…how to read all the chapters…how to prepare…But Yesterday I attended one program about how to survive in the exams period. It was really great. University is really nice that they arrange these types of programs. You know people used to compromise their sleep in exams. But it is said in that program that it’s really important for us to take full sleep.

Better if we make proper timetable and try to stick on that. Guys only 2 weeks are left. We have to study just for 7 days. We can…. Why give up….yester day I also met one girl doing bachelor….she was giving up from exams. I asked her not to give up and took her with me to that program….now she if concentrating…. Anyways…
Guys study hard and do well…... everything will be fine…..have fun….!!

~ 5 Ways To Look Fabulous In White ~

"Do you see white in your future? No, I’m not referring to a wedding but rather your summer wardrobe. Nothing spells summer like white. While the temperature rises you can stay cool and look fantastic in white. White will add impact to your summer wardrobe and will keep you looking fresh and inviting. To get the most from wearing white I have a few suggestions -

1. White reflects light so wherever you wear it you will bring attention. Having said that, if you have any body parts you don’t want to appear larger don’t accentuate that area by adorning it in white and wearing a dark color next to it. What you can do is wear white from head- to- toe so no particular area has focus. For example, if you have large hips don’t wear white bottoms with a dark top because the eye will be drawn to the bottom. Instead, wear a white top and white pants and use accessories to take the focus away from the problem area. Or wear white on top and black on the bottom." Link

Our Experience

Uni lifestyle has been a challenging and fun loving one so far.

As usual being all stranded in a foreign country wasn’t easy at first. We all miss home very much even after a year of being here. Like they always say “home sweet home”. Its not only about being with the loved ones but also missing the culture, food and entertainment .But its about gaining experience we suppose ….right?
Hostel life was at first difficult to adjust to. We had to be independent and we found our own circle of friends later. This made us move from our comfort zone and be more sociable. Some of us start looking for jobs for our own expenses and such. Finding a job was difficult. We needed experience even to get the first job and the pay was not into our liking at times. We had to work till late and the transport was an issue. It was annoying to work while we had assignment due to the following day. Hence juggling time between uni and work was stressful. Many of us were new to the course we are taking in the uni. Facing exams and doing assignment were way stressful that we thought .For example, we had to learn how to use Harvard referencing system which was extremely new and complicated.
We managed to get better or at least we hope to get better at the courses we are doing. The only source of entertainment at low cost DC PLUS was shut down. Although it was addictive, but it still caused a huge impact on us especially during holidays and weekends. So now we have learnt to kill time by trying new sports and other exciting activities like trying out cafes, restaurant and co shopping!!! We are trying to adapt to this new lifestyle and like they,” If you can’t avoid it….Enjoy it!!” * Big grinz*

Whiteheads: do not squeeze

"Whiteheads are the collection of sebum and keratin that plugs the opening of skin pore. They are caused because of excessive secretion of sebum oil. Their tips does not get blackened because the clogged grease is not exposed to the air and oxidation does not take place. These appear in the area where the skin is delicate and fine. They are common under the eyes, on the nose, cheekbone, temples and forehead." Link

Hello guys

Myself Irene..i actually did my masters from ANU. Now I am applying for another master. It was really a very good experience while I was doing my masters. Here pattern of studies are different from my country. In my country our assessment is done on the basis of exams. In my country there is no assignment (i.e. report writing, presentation or essay writing). We only have 100 marks exam at the end of the semester or year. In ANU this pattern is different. Earlier I was finding problem but by time I accommodate. I think this type of studies helps us in doing the practical thing. Now I realize that I am actually applying my theory into practice. This is the actual learning. Moreover here professors are really helpful. They provide guidance in doing assignments. Even university has provided many help centre for students, so that we can learn the pattern of studies here.
I really learnt a lot from this university. I think new students who are coming every semester face the same problem with this study culture. Here I would say university helps them a lot. This experience of my life motivates me. If you guys have the same experience related to the studies then please write it.
