Preparations

 

although in technicality, i am not sure of my graduation from college yet, i have decided to prepare for my entry into university. if all goes well, and i have 8 subjects regardless of Econ’s failure or pass, i am going to argue that Econ’s is essentially irrelevant to my degree and ask to go towards uni (rather than staying on for 1 semester for just ONE irrelevant subject). if anyone decides to contend that, then i will probably get japanese as an alternative unit. Seriously though, if i do pass econs, i have basically cleared all of my electives.

 

the way University of Canberra works, in a normal 3 years time frame as an arts student, i have to do either 3 majors and a minor, or 2 majors and 3 minors. this is because 1 major/2minors are electives. 

 

i went to uni yesterday to get some stuff done, as well as church, and decided to do some research, which eventually lead to course planning for the next 2 years (an excuse to use the mac lab anyways). so this is my breakdown, should i start next term:

 

Main Major: Politics and Government

Courses: 18 credit points:

 

Introduction to Government

Politics and Democracy

International Politics

Politics in Developing Nations

Introduction to Public Policy

 

2nd Majaor: Law and Society

 Courses: 18 Credit Points:

 

Law and Society

Comparative Criminology

Cyber Crime

Gender and Australian Legal System

Human Rights Law

Violence, The Nation state and Terrorism

 

Minor: Sociology (i know this sounds weird since i wanted to do Socio and politics… i will explain later)

Courses: 12 Credit Points 

 

Introduction to Sociology

Governance in an info age

Young People in Crime

Identity Politics and Public Policy 

 

at some point in time, due to course availability, these might change, but this is essentially it.

 

i know i asked to do politics and sociology. in anu, the legal aspects of sociology was under sociology as well (if i remembered correctly) or under gender studies etc. these courses under law and society are essentially criminology, and i felt that they are fairly important too… i am sure you can understand from my choices of the courses in that area.

 

besides, they give me a hardon every time i look at the course info.

 

now all i have to do, is just to convince college, if i fail econs, that econs is a nubcake, not a part of all these! >.>
