Hahaha, what? We went through sigma notation today in Biostatistics and was just wondering when we'd get to learning new concepts.

Are you in the 11am stream? I swear I might've drifted off in biostats but we certainly didn't learn sigma notation :/

 

[Blue Suede]

That sounds about right...

How many of her token lines have you heard yet? "We can all be mathemagicians, all you have to do is try!"

DO OR DO NOT THERE IS NO TRY

I had a Professional Development lecture at 8am which were only told about the day before.

Goddamn. That's just unlucky.

 

[Carrotsticks]

Favourite lecturer so far?

 

[OzKo]

Quite a fan of Kurt Iveson. The content in his lectures is really interesting (and different) with his teaching style really complementing that.

 

[Carrotsticks]

I like the way Parkinson teaches.

Same as Cirstea.

However, she does the following which drives me crazy:

1. Pronounces 'lower' so it rhymes with 'flower'

2. Spells 'irrational' as 'irational'

3. Spells 'contradiction' as 'controdiction'.

Maybe OCD.

 

[OzKo]

Michael Harris is also a good lecturer as his explanations are always clear and he has time for students. I'm considering having him supervise my thesis next year.

I'm in the 11am stream, and I can say that we did. The lecturer called it 'summation notation', but the sigma sign was definitely there.

+1

Her accent is so hard to understand at times, and I believe she is my tutor : S

 

[Riproot]

Differential Calculus at 8am

Why the fuck am I doing Advanced?

LOL corrupt one. yeah,I remember that hahah I think we might be in the same streams. 2 for claw and 3 for accounting.
giuseppe = only reason I'm going to bother coming on mondays and tues.

yeah, lame jokes from abdul aside, accounting is significantly better than buss1001. I had BUSS1001 today and it was the most boring shite ever. I was so bored that I got out my netbook and tried to browse 9gag. Couldn't though because of epic lag. The only thing that mildly interested me in that 1.5 hour lecture was the lady from CPA.

We are same streams. Yeh me too, I wouldnt come either haha, especially cause accounting finishes so late...I just wanna sleep already!
My BUSS1001 tutor is like stoned. I mean he's a chill guy, but srsly wasn't there anyone else? hahaha. Here's to hoping that BUSS1040 will be better on Friday...

 

[Aerath]

Are any first year Com students going to Com Camp?

 

[Aerath]

Road from Redfern to uni was like a fucking river.....

 

[Carrotsticks]

Today I had an 8am and a 9am lecture then done for the day.

Woke up @ 6:30am, saw how heavy it was raining, thought 'nope.', then went back to bed.

Woke up just then, still raining.

Later on I'm gonna check outside. Apparently a couple places like Holsworthy and Homebush are flooded.

This is bad because I kinda live at the bottom of a hill...

Checking it out now.

 

[Aerath]

Trains on East Hill line are fucked - flooding at Bardwell Park.
Trains on Illawarra are fucked - flooding at Banksia.
Trains to and from Olympic Park are similar fucked.

lmfao you're in almost all of my lectures. let's get 2gether and make out <3?

on a serious note what did you do on tues? there was a 4hr gap between claw and accounting.

Trust me, classes are not worth missing out on Com Camp.

Like I said you'll find me calling your name out sometime in the near future maybe...be patient

I have my BUSS tutorial in that gap between claw and accounting so its not really that much spare time that i have to wait around for
