    What you hate about UNSW

    Interesting, CBS (Campus Bible Study) seem to have died down in their tactics over the years to recruit members.... or just maybe I have just grown a natural immunity to them.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Wow, they are getting lazy with the card patterns. They used to update the design ever 2 years. Oh well. Guess what is important is get a good picture this year, as your student card now lasts for 3 yrs instead of 1.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Re: 回复: general UNSW chit-chat One can always learn to write. Just pick up one of those "teach yourself how to do essay books for the hsc", they describe in great detail how to establish a strong essay. If explanation is more your concern, try explaining your course (or a topic in the...

    MATH1011 and MATH1131... which one should i choose ?

    Go with Sunny's suggestion of 1141. If you are allowed to, undertake 1151. There is no point taking a course for scaling. Scaling is this buzzword that is waved around alot. As people have mentioned, some subjects do modify numbers at the end of the day, but no one really knows which courses...

    Easier courses = easier to achieve good grades? ( HD or D)

    Ignore what others have gotten in the hsc. University is different to school. People can get all ranges of marks. I've known people with high uai's getting low marks, some getting average and some excellent. What matters is your own learning process and how much effort (which will translate...

    Bonus points for UNSW - Commerce

    uai is a measure of popularity, nothing more. some courses are uai-inflated in the sense, that they are not difficult but because so many people want to do them the entry criteria is up.

    What you hate about UNSW

    Re: 回复: Re: What you hate about UNSW Reminds me of a subject I had a few years back. It was "Multiple Multiple Choice with Negative Marking*" *Negative in that minimum you could get for a question was zero apparently. Basically each question has 5 answers, at least 1 answer was correct...

    Question abt QMB

    If MATH1151 substitutes QMA (in the unsw handbook or otherwise), then just do QMB. Most of the courses in the school of commerce do not build on top of each other. Look at each course as new. And to agree with "Affinity", study it yourself!

    studying and stuff

    eventually you got to graduate. starting to perform in the last year isn't always the best of moves, especially if your school (engineering) takes all the marks of all the years to determine honours. ..... of course some schools like commerce (and maybe science?), only look at that final year...

    Tropical Green's chicken and salad roll appreciation thread...

    There are two. One in the mathews pavillons (which I wonder if any people really visit anymore), and one at the back/side of the roundhouse (near the squarehouse).

    FINS3635-Options, futures and risk mgmt

    Be one with the Hull textbook (and instructors manual can be found in the closed reserve section of the Library). Do all the chapter questions (before looking at the answers) and the course will be a breeze.

    pathway into optometry

    Depends on the calibre of the cohort you start with. No one can make a judgement as to the competition, since the competition does not yet exist. I guess a better question is "can I beat them", of course that's quite conditional on yourself. If you got accepted to vision but not accepted to...

    Chemical Sciences idiots

    60uoc a year FTW. So have you been able to convince them to let you take 30uoc?

    choosing courses

    You can do whatever courses you want as long as you've done pre-reqs and there are no exclusions. For example, your degree might say, do A then B then C then whatever. It might also say in addition to that, no more than 60uoc at the first year 1xxx level. So I suggest check the online...
