node.live

The requirements for an academic degree frequently change. Statistics that I just made up show that 10% of students will have the requirements or structure of their course radically change during their enrolled time at Uni. The Psych major got changed under me this year; the School of Oil and Gas exists largely as a quantum probability function; one recent graduate managed to fail the same maths unit five times before it was removed from the requirements for his degree. However, the University is currently reviewing the way that every course at UWA works, and they want to hear from you. Check out http://www.coursestructuresreview.uwa.edu.au/ and have a read of the briefing paper (the second link; it's very short). If you want to make your opinions heard, you can either e-mail the project officer, or contact the President of the Guild of Undergraduates, Dave De Hoog on president@guild.uwa.edu.au.

So -

What problem, exactly, is node.live intended to solve?

<ex-ITS-staff-member> I think what they really wanted was planet.uwa.edu.au 

Microsoft Australia are offering copies of the latest version of their ubiquitous office suite, Microsoft Office 2007, for quite low prices - $25 for a one-year license, and $75 for a perpetual license. It's the Ultimate Edition, too, not the cut-down Student Edition.

Head to itsnotcheating.com.au and sign up with your credit card and University e-mail account. You can download the software from an AARnet mirror, which means you shouldn't be charged for the large amount of traffic it will use.
