<,,><&>4 up to TWO forty eight <{><[>credits <&>13:00 <[>yes yes that are <.>c that are common to l <{><[>l b so that they've got to be l l b courses in the first place right um <,,><&>11 <[>oh right so that's all right that's word all we need to know right so we need to look at <.>b at the b a schedule but we basically don't we to make sure that those law credits are in it and then <.>we're we're fine so that's laws <,,> those two right so that's eighteen credits okay so that's as we <.>un <.>that's that's right isn't it okay <,,><&>4 i can't remember what the numbers <{><[>word <[>doesn't matter um as long as we know the levels <,> <.>and i <.>did that's all really and the number of credits six english <,,><&>3 i know i did forty two in my <&>14:00 first year and forty eight in my second right and were they all two hundred level in your <.>second no the laws came in then did <{><[>they <[>laws and two history two hundred and two english two hundred right let's have a look then <,,><&>7 so <.>these these were all two yep right as you did forty eight credits last year gosh that was good going how did you <{><[>get on <[>no that was the year before last year i just did law <,,> <{><[><.>so <[>oh THAT no no that was in my second year i've also been here for a third year where i didn't do any b a papers oh i see <{1><[1>right there's <.>a right okay right and that's not <{2><[2>in the b a schedule <[1>i just did law <[2>i'm dying to get back into some b a <{><[>papers <[>i bet you are so <.>that so <.>that's right <.>so but we know that none of those law courses can count <{1><[1>right so these are the ones that can count right so you've got <,,><&>3 these are forty <&>15:00 two credits right <,> twenty <{2><[2>four thirty six forty two <.>so so you've got one hundred level credits from your first year you've got forty two and from your second you've got eighteen right? <[1>yeah <[2>four mhm and two hundred level credits you've got thirty <.>si er twenty four is that correct six fours are twenty four yeah? and that's your total so far right now that is actually your maximum number of one hundred level credits you can't take any more than that right? mhm and um now this year you were planning to do tut um <,,> three one six so that's english three one six <,,><&>3 and <{><[>english three oh nine <[>word thirty six credit history three hundred level <&>16:00 <{><[>as well <[>and they're all three hundred yeah and so you've got to finish your degree with that so you've got <.>SIXty you've got your maximum one hundred level twenty four two hundred eighteen three hundred eight and four is twelve word two four sixty no you're SHORT still aren't you is that right voc cos you need a hundred and eight credits for a b a word just double check <,> i'm <.>s surprised they don't have the actual record on this enrolment form really <,,><&>3 right first year you reckon you did forty two credits yep we've written down forty two right? <,,> second year you did eighteen <.>two er one hundreds we're not going to find any more there <&>17:00 maybe we've miscounted the two hundreds <,,> one two three four four sixes are twenty four that's eighty four and eighteen right is my adding right no? <,,><&>3 and that's all you're planning to do this year right? <,,><&>6 yep so you think you've missed out a course that you actually had one more course there um <,,><&>9 oh hang on <.>i've yeah that's right there were three and i did shakespeare australian and middle english ah <{><[>that's right <[>laughs everything at two hundred level that's all right that was what <.>we all we <{1><[1>had to do but it's worth doing isn't it i <{2><[2>mean wouldn't it be awful if you thought you were going to finish this year and then <&>18:00 you didn't so that's all right <{3><[3>it's all working perfectly right so we write IN this new course <,,><&>3 <[1>yeah <.>y <[2>yep <[3>yep okay voc <,,><&>8 c r n one four four oh <,,><&>8 that's just called the novel is it <{><[>modern novel <[>modern novel <,,><&>8 taught full year <,> six credits accepted <,,><&>5 now <,,> um so with the b a this is qualification <&>19:00 one with the major in english um the major in history is <.>th <.>i is it important for you to get THAT checked that you've got the <{><[>major subject requirement <[>oh no i just don't think i'll end up doing that as a major yes <{1><[1>er the only thing it really counts for is that if you decide to do history honours at any stage you will have had to have completed a major in <{2><[2>history so it might be worth just sitting down one day and seeing how <.>fa whether you've actually completed that <[1>um word <[2>yes yeah i think i've got another six credits at three hundred level to do <.>which right i'm not really interested in doing at the moment well at the moment you're doing <.>your the minimum for the english major you CAN'T get away WITHOUT <.>doing yeah another three hundred level course in it so it's not as if you're wasting <.>it in sacrificing the history you HAVE to do that so right now i think what i sign here for is the number of credits that i'm approving <&>19:53
