cheers man,
thats one of the reasons ive never finished a resume. not a big fan of talking myself up.
good thing i have a good reference from school hey gigs?

A little bit more Jono, if you are required to address criteria "no more than one page per criteria" as one who does short listing I can tell you if its a book I don't really look at it.

Other than that good luck buddy!

That is the problem with the subject. So much of it is stuff you just have to commit to memory so you can use it later in a more interesting manner

Diagrams and pictures are always good, as well as stupid rhymes to remember things like the steps for passing legislation.

Are you using the structures and systems and processes and powers text books?

Tips for politics students (at least in preliminary courses as they were taught in 1969)

1) There is no right or wrong (it is not science or mathmatics), only varying degrees of knowledge and perception. Your considered opinion is as good as anyone else's. But you must express it properly.

2) Learn the basic principles, separation of powers within the Westminster system, the Australian Constitution, your State Constitution, principles of Federalism, comparable Federations (eg Canada, US), origin and development of major Australian political parties, comparisons with British party politics.

3) Don't accept anybody's analysis unless it is backed by facts and reasoned argument (remember no one is right or wrong). Make your own judgments and be prepared to back them up with facts and examples.

4) If your lecturer is a jackass, do't argue party politics with him, if you happen to disagree with his philosophy he may mark you on your ideology not your understanding of concepts. If he is a teacher and mentor, ask him to explain and justify his views. He/she will respect your analytical asessment

5) If you don't understand, read up, ask, and continue asking "till you do. No decent teacher will object, as long as you show that you have tried.

6) The expression is "rote" learning not "rope" learning.

Good luck.

6) The expression is "rote" learning not "rope" learning.Then my careers counsellor is an idiot, she says rope learning hahahah

Rope learning is the lesson the hangman teaches you...
