I got a 3 post and pre-paid (temporary) while I used to be on Optus prepaid as well.

Post 3 takes it I guess. For pre-paid, if you find your friends really scattered with different telco providers I guess Optus turbocharge will be the best. Otherwise again, 3's free minutes is just too good to pass up.

No...English is divided into 2-Lit and Drama where lit counts for 70% while drama is worth 30% of your final English mark.

EAP is a totally different subject whatsoever. EAP is more of the grammar, academic writing, speaking etc.

Both English and EAP are compulsory. You need to pass the EAP hurdle to enter Uni but EAP cannot be counted as one of your best 4 subjects. On the other hand, your English mark can be counted as best 4 and in certain courses(Engineering, Med, Dentistry...etc), must be included in your best 4 mark.

I'll give you the mark breakdown.

English
Term 1->2 literature essays about 400 words each based on 2 poems(1 from lectures and 1 from tutorials)-5%
Term 2->1 lit essay about 1500 words based on a novel or short story [20%] and drama monologue [10%]
Term 3->1 lit essay about 1500 words, comparing a novel and a short story [20%] and drama group project [10%]
Term 4->1 lit essay about 1500 words based on a play(eg:Shakespeare) [15%] and drama group performance [10%]

Total=90%+(10% participation)= 100%

EAP
Term 1->nothing
Term 2->Homework essay-400 words[5%] + Exam Essay-800words[25%]
Term 3->Homework essay-600 words[5%] + In-class exam essay-700 words[10%]
Term 4->Oral presentation, 10 mins[25%] + Exam Essay-700words[30%]

N.B: All EAP essays must be academic writing (references..etc...)

Total=100%

Hope this post clears your confusion! Hope you have a good time in Trinity(I sure did wink.gif )
