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.

I remember on the final episode of series four of Scrubs JD states "change is good..change is inevitable". Being my favourite TV show, I've probably watched this episode anywhere from 10-20 times so as I too go through a period of change I'm constantly reminded of his wise words, so i thought today I would share some of the changes you should expect when coming to university...
